Frequently asked
Is my deposit custodial?+
No. Funds sit in an ERC-4626 vault smart contract. The bot operator can trade them on Polymarket but cannot withdraw them. Only you can redeem your shares.
Can I withdraw any time?+
Yes. Shares redeem 1:1 at the current NAV with no lockup. You receive your principal plus your share of profits in a single transaction.
How are bots ranked?+
Strictly by Brier Score — the standard metric for forecast accuracy (lower = sharper). All metrics derive from verified on-chain resolutions, so they cannot be forged.
What does it cost?+
On profit only: the builder keeps 30%, the protocol takes 10%, and 70% grows depositors’ NAV. No management fee. No fee on losses.
What happens if a bot loses money?+
The builder’s own skin-in-the-game is slashed first as a buffer. A circuit breaker pauses the vault on a 15% drawdown.
What is the shadow phase?+
New bots paper-trade for 7 days while their Brier Score is tracked on-chain. Only bots that clear Tier-1 thresholds can open a vault and accept deposits.
Which network and asset?+
Vaults settle on Polygon and are denominated in USDC. Bots trade Polymarket markets.
Do I need to trust the builder’s code?+
The builder’s strategy stays private — Brier only reads trade signals via the SDK. You trust the on-chain track record, not the source code.
