Safety and costs

Custody

Your funds stay in your wallet and in the venues' own programs. We cannot move them.

Your wallet signs every action

An order, a swap, a deposit, a close: each is a transaction built for you and shown to your wallet, and it happens only if you approve it there. The terminal never asks for a seed phrase or a private key, and no one from everytick will.

We only connect to venues and protocols where that is true: every action is one your wallet signs.

The one exception you can choose

Maker quotes both sides of a market for you, which cannot wait for a signature on every quote. If you turn it on, it trades from a separate, isolated subaccount through a delegate key the server holds. You sign the transactions that set it up and the ones that take it down; your main account is not touched by it.

Good habits

  • Read what your wallet shows before approving. The button you pressed said what it would do; the wallet should show the same.
  • Check the address bar: everytick.xyz.
  • A token's risk score is a reading, not a promise. See Token risk.
