Frequently Asked Questions

Amyth is an automated trading platform for Jupiter Perpetuals on Solana. You deploy a vault that you alone control, choose a strategy, and Amyth's signal engine trades on your behalf, opening and closing leveraged long and short positions according to the rules you select. Your collateral never leaves your vault, and only your wallet can withdraw it.

No. Amyth is designed for people who have never used crypto before. Our Getting Started guide walks you through every step: downloading a wallet, getting USDC, and deploying your first vault in under 5 minutes. You don't need to understand trading, blockchain, or technical analysis to get started. The strategy presets handle all the trading decisions for you.

We recommend Jupiter Wallet. It's built by the same team that runs Jupiter Perps, the exchange your Amyth trades execute on. Available as a Chrome extension and on iOS/Android. Phantom and Solflare also work well. You need a Solana wallet specifically; Ethereum wallets like MetaMask won't work with Amyth.

The minimum deposit is $50 USDC. You'll also need a small amount of SOL (about $0.50 worth) to pay for Solana transaction fees. Realistically, strategies work better with $100+ because fees and slippage take a proportionally smaller bite of larger positions.

USDC is a stablecoin, a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. 1 USDC always equals approximately $1. It's issued by Circle, one of the largest digital currency companies. Amyth uses USDC as collateral because its stable value makes it ideal for trading: you know exactly how much buying power is in your vault.

Gas fees are small payments to the Solana network for processing transactions. On Solana, these are typically fractions of a cent per transaction, much cheaper than Ethereum. You pay gas fees when creating a vault, depositing, withdrawing, and for every trade your bot makes. You need a tiny amount of SOL in your wallet to cover these fees.

Yes. The app works in any mobile browser. If you use the Jupiter mobile app (Jup Mobile), you can open Amyth directly inside its built-in browser. Phantom's mobile app works the same way. The dashboard, vault management, and all settings are fully responsive.

Not currently. Amyth runs on Solana mainnet with real assets. However, you can start with the minimum $50 USDC deposit and a conservative strategy like Range Sniper (3x leverage) to get a feel for how everything works with minimal risk exposure.

Amyth is non-custodial software infrastructure. It doesn't hold your funds or operate as a financial services provider. However, access to leveraged perpetual futures may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. It's your responsibility to ensure you comply with local regulations. Please see our Terms of Service for details.

A vault is your personal trading account on Amyth. Technically, it's a Solana program-derived account (PDA), an onchain smart contract address that only your wallet controls. You deposit USDC into it, attach a strategy, and the bot trades from this vault. Think of it as a safe that only you hold the key to, but that can execute trades automatically based on rules you set.

Connect your Solana wallet on the App page, click the + button, and choose your bot type (Perps Basket, Webhook Bot, or Marketplace copy-trade). Follow the guided flow to pick a strategy, set risk parameters, and sign the creation transaction. The whole process takes about 2 minutes.

Yes. You can create as many vaults as you want from the same wallet. Each vault operates independently with its own strategy, assets, leverage settings, and balance. Many users run multiple vaults to diversify across strategies (e.g., one Adaptive Alpha vault and one Range Sniper vault).

Your bot keeps running 24/7. The strategy engine evaluates market conditions on its cadence (every 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on your setting), and executes trades when conditions match. The optimizer re-tunes parameters every ~22 hours. If anything notable happens (a trade, a regime change, a liquidation), You'll get a Telegram notification if you've set that up.

It depends on the strategy and market conditions. Breakout strategies like Adaptive Alpha might trade a few times per week. Hummingbird (5-minute consensus) can be more active. Range Sniper only trades in choppy markets. Ensemble (liquidation-cascade) is very selective. Roughly 20 trades over 6 months. The bot doesn't force trades; it waits for conditions to match.

Leverage multiplies your position size relative to your collateral. At 3x leverage, $100 USDC controls a $300 position. This amplifies both gains and losses. If the price moves 1% in your favor at 3x, you profit 3%. But a 1% move against you means a 3% loss. Higher leverage = higher risk. You set max leverage when creating a vault. The bot will never exceed it.

Yes. Leveraged trading carries liquidation risk. If the position moves against you enough that your collateral drops below the maintenance margin, Jupiter's keeper will close the position automatically. This results in a significant or total loss of the collateral backing that position. The drawdown guard can stop your bot before this happens, but it's not guaranteed.

Jupiter's keeper closes the position automatically when maintenance margin is breached. Your vault detects the liquidation on the next cron tick (within ~5 minutes) and stops the bot. You'll receive a Telegram alert if you've connected Telegram. The realized loss is recorded against your vault's PnL. You can deposit more collateral and start the bot again, or withdraw any remaining funds.

Not directly through the Amyth UI at the moment. To close a position, stop your bot and the system will close any open position during shutdown. You can also verify the position state on Jupiter's interface directly using your vault address.

Open your vault's panel on the App page and click the Stop button. The system will close any open position and put the bot into a stopped state. Once stopped, you can withdraw your funds, change settings, or restart with a different configuration.

Both happen from your vault's panel on the App page. Deposits are USDC transfers into your vault and can be made any time, even while a bot is running. Withdrawals require the bot to be stopped first. This prevents desynchronization between vault balance and an open position. To withdraw all funds: stop the bot, wait for any open position to close, then withdraw.

Amyth itself does not charge trading fees. You pay: (1) Solana network fees, fractions of a cent per transaction, (2) Jupiter Perpetuals fees (opening/closing position fees charged by Jupiter's protocol (typically 0.06-0.1%)), and (3) potential funding rate costs if you hold positions for extended periods. All fees are transparent and visible in your trade history.

For beginners, start with Adaptive Alpha at moderate leverage (3-4x). It's the most thoroughly backtested and uses VWAP mean-reversion with a regime filter. It's active in most market conditions. If you want lower risk, Range Sniper trades only in choppy markets at 3x. If you want multi-engine consensus, Chameleon runs 9 engines voting together. Aggressive Growth is for experienced users comfortable with 8x leverage and larger drawdowns.

The optimizer tunes the strategy's internal parameters: things like entry thresholds, stop-loss distances, take-profit targets, indicator periods, and conviction gates. It does NOT change your leverage cap, your chosen strategy type, your selected assets, or your drawdown limit. Those settings stay exactly as you configured them. Only the engine's internal "DNA" evolves.

Every ~22 hours, the optimizer runs thousands of backtests across multiple strategy×cadence combinations using real historical candle data. It explores the parameter space with Latin Hypercube Sampling (a smarter version of random search), then refines the top candidates with coordinate descent. Winning configurations must pass quality gates: minimum sample size, positive expectancy, acceptable drawdown, before being shipped to live bots.

Backtested performance is hypothetical and will always differ from live results. Common reasons: (1) Slippage, live fills can be worse than simulated fills, (2) Fees, Jupiter fees compound over many trades, (3) Market regime change, the regime you're in now may differ from the backtest period, (4) Funding rates, holding positions costs money in live trading, (5) Timing, live execution has latency that backtests don't model. This is normal and expected.

No. Amyth is non-custodial. Your funds live in a vault (a Solana PDA) that only your wallet can withdraw from. Amyth's backend (the relayer) can submit trade signals to your vault, but it has no ability to move, redirect, or withdraw your funds. This is enforced by the onchain program, not by a service promise.

No. The onchain Anchor program enforces that only the vault's admin (your wallet) can withdraw or transfer funds. The relayer authority is limited to submitting trade instructions that must pass five validation checks. Even if our backend were fully compromised, the attacker could only submit trades within your configured parameters. They could never withdraw to a different address.

It means three things: (1) Your vault is a smart contract address on Solana that only your wallet key can control. Amyth holds no private keys. (2) The relayer can only execute trades. It cannot move funds. (3) If Amyth disappears tomorrow, your funds remain in the vault and you can withdraw them using any Solana tool that can interact with the program.

A Program-Derived Address (PDA) is a special Solana account address that's mathematically derived from your wallet address and the Amyth program ID. It has no private key. Instead, only the Amyth onchain program can authorize operations on it, and that program's code enforces that only your wallet can withdraw. Think of it as a lockbox that only opens with your specific key.

Every trade signal is validated by the on-chain program before it touches Jupiter. The program checks: (1) maximum leverage, (2) maximum position size, (3) slippage caps, (4) replay-protection nonces, and (5) that the call targets the real Jupiter Perpetuals program (the ID is hardcoded). If any check fails, the instruction reverts and no trade happens.

Go to the Verify page (/verify) and paste any vault address. The tool compares the onchain memo hashes with the expected decision hashes, proving that the system executed exactly what it said it would. You can verify individual epochs or get a summary of all recent decisions. Every trade is also independently viewable on Solscan.

Your funds are safe. They're in a Solana PDA controlled by your wallet. If Amyth's servers go offline, the bot simply stops trading. No new trades will be submitted. Any open positions remain open until Jupiter's keeper acts or you close them manually. You can always withdraw your collateral by interacting with the onchain program directly.

The smart contracts are currently unaudited beta software. We are transparent about this. It's stated in the disclaimers on the homepage and in the Terms of Service. The program source code is independently verifiable against the deployed program ID. We strongly recommend only deploying capital you are prepared to lose.

Go to the Marketplace page, browse available strategies, and click one to see its full stats (Sharpe, return, drawdown, win rate, trade count). If you like what you see, click Subscribe. You'll create a copy-trade vault that automatically mirrors the creator's signals into your own non-custodial vault. There's a 7-day free trial before billing starts.

Yes. Every marketplace strategy comes with a 7-day free trial. You get full copy-trade execution during the trial period. After 7 days, the subscription fee (set by the creator) applies monthly.

Every strategy must pass five quality gates before it can be published: (1) Sufficient sample size, enough trades to be statistically meaningful, (2) Net profitable (the strategy must be in the green), (3) Drawdown discipline, max drawdown within acceptable bounds, (4) Win-rate sanity, not suspiciously high or low, (5) Regime exposure, must have traded across different market conditions. All five gates must pass.

No. Creators never touch subscriber funds. When you subscribe, signals are mirrored into your own non-custodial vault. The creator's system sends trade signals; your vault executes them through the same onchain validation as any other trade. The creator cannot withdraw, redirect, or modify your vault in any way.

First, run your own vault with real capital and build a track record. Once your strategy passes all five quality gates, go to /dashboard/creator and publish your strategy. Set a name, description, and monthly price. Published strategies appear on the Marketplace for anyone to subscribe to.

Creators set a monthly subscription price. Subscribers pay this fee after the 7-day free trial. Revenue is split between the creator and the platform. The exact split is detailed in the Creator Agreement.

Several possible causes: (1) The market regime doesn't match your strategy (e.g., Range Sniper won't trade in a trending market), (2) Your vault balance is too low for the minimum position size, (3) The bot is paused or stopped, (4) The optimizer hasn't shipped parameters yet (wait for the next 22h cycle). Check your vault's activity log for the most recent decision and its reasoning.

USDC deposits to your vault usually confirm within 30 seconds on Solana. If it's been longer: (1) Check that you sent USDC on the Solana network (not Ethereum, BSC, etc.), (2) Verify the transaction on Solscan using the signature from your wallet, (3) Try refreshing the app page. If the transaction confirms on Solscan but doesn't show in the app, it may be a display delay. Your funds are safe onchain.

Common fixes: (1) Make sure you're using a Solana wallet (Jupiter Wallet, Phantom, Solflare), (2) Try refreshing the page, (3) Disable any VPN or browser extensions that might block wallet connections, (4) If using a mobile dApp browser, try the full browser instead, (5) Clear your browser cache and try again.

Check: (1) Is the webhook URL correct in your TradingView alert? (2) Is your vault funded with enough USDC? (3) Is the bot in a running state? (4) Try the manual trigger button on the vault panel to test the connection. (5) Check TradingView's alert logs to confirm the webhook was sent. The 5-retry engine handles temporary RPC issues, but persistent failures usually mean a configuration problem.

This is expected behavior. After a liquidation, the vault detects the zero-position state and stops the bot to prevent trading with reduced collateral. To restart: (1) Deposit additional USDC if needed, (2) Review what happened. Check the trade that led to liquidation in your activity log, (3) Consider reducing leverage for next time, (4) Start the bot again when ready.

Open Telegram and message @amyth_alerts_bot with /ticket followed by your issue (e.g., "/ticket My basket bot stopped after the BTC liquidation"). We respond within 1 business day. IMPORTANT: The Amyth team will NEVER DM you first or ask for your private keys, seed phrase, or wallet password. Anyone claiming to be from Amyth in private messages is a scammer.
