FAQ
Getting started
What do I need to sign up?
An email address or a Google account. No browser extension, no seed phrase, and definetly no hardware.
What is the minimum to start?
$100 USDC minimum required for Income: Funding Rates. $10,000 minimum required for Superstar.
Is there a maximum?
$50 million USDC for an individual account on Income: Funding Rates. Beyond that, contact Deploy Finance for tailored solutions.
How do I deposit?
Buy USDC with a card, or send USDC to your Arbitrum address from an external wallet. Both land in your Funding Wallet.
Who is the team?
More than 10 fintech and banking veterans bridging DeFi and TradFi, with advisors from JPMorgan, FalconX, and BitGo.
Costs
What does the service cost?
No monthly cost and no fees.
So it is free?
Yes.
Your funds
Does Deploy Finance hold my keys?
No. This is a self-custody wallet. Account abstraction lets the wallet assign session keys to agents, similar to an API connection on an exchange, with trade-only functionality.
What can an agent do with my funds?
View balances and activity, and open, close, and manage positions including stops. It cannot withdraw funds or transfer assets to another address, and it cannot interact outside the whitelisted protocol set.
How is my private key stored?
Never whole. It is split into three encrypted shares using Shamir's Secret Sharing — a device or secure enclave share, an auth share held by Privy, and a recovery share — and reconstructed only briefly inside a trusted execution environment.
How do I access my funds if Deploy Finance goes away?
Your funds are under your control and withdrawable at any time. You can export your keys and move control to a third-party wallet such as MetaMask.
Is there a minimum holding period?
No. Funds are available 24/7/365.
How do I withdraw?
Move funds to the Funding Wallet if needed, then use the Withdraw tab. Steps are in How to get started.
Can I make partial withdrawals?
Partial withdrawals are not supported through the app today.
Because your Hyperliquid account is self-custodial, you can technically move part of your balance out through the Hyperliquid interface directly but we recommend against it.
Exits, position sizing, and limit orders are all calculated from your account's risk parameters. Pulling capital out while a position is open invalidates those calculations, and the agent will continue managing the position against a balance that no longer exists.
If you want to take profits off the table, stop the agent first, withdraw, and restart.
Why aren't partial withdrawals supported yet?
An agent running multiple open positions sizes each position against the total account balance. Removing part of that balance means every open position has to be resized against the new total, along with its limit orders and exit levels.
Doing that safely mid-flight is the hard part. It has been on the roadmap continuously and the team is actively working on it.
I sent funds to the wrong chain. Are they lost?
No. Export your Funding Wallet into any wallet provider such as MetaMask, and bridge the assets back to Arbitrum manually. Your USDC appears in Deploy Finance again once it arrives. Full steps are in How to get started.
Agents
How many agents are live?
Two: Income: Funding Rates and Superstar. Others are in development or curation and are not available.
Can I run both?
Yes, under the same wallet model.
How do I move funds from Income: Funding Rates into Superstar?
Funds move between agents through your funding wallet. There's no direct agent-to-agent transfer.
- Go to Agents and withdraw from the Income: Funding Rates agent to your funding wallet.
- Once the funds land in the funding wallet, open Superstar.
- Click Deploy to fund the agent.
If you already have a Deploy account set up, the process for any new agent is the same: transfer to the funding wallet, then deploy to the agent of your choice.
Can I tell an agent what to trade?
No. You choose which agent and how much to allocate.
How do I stop an agent?
Revoke its trading access from the dashboard. The session key stops working immediately.
When does an agent start after I delegate?
Depends on market and liquidty conditions. The agent will look for the best conditions before an entry.
Performance and risk
What returns should I expect?
None are promised. You can view our agents live performance in our app and verify using your wallet address and searching in any Hyperliquid block explorer.
Is Income: Funding Rates risk free because it is market neutral?
No. Market neutral removes directional price exposure only. See Risks.
Why Deploy Finance doesn't show TVL?
TVL measures assets held in a protocol's smart contracts. Deploy Finance agents operate from user-controlled wallets, and users delegate trade-only permissions rather than depositing into a shared Deploy Finance contract. Reporting those wallet balances as platform TVL would describe user-owned assets as protocol-controlled assets.
Why Deploy Finance isn't listed on DeFiLlama?
DeFiLlama requires a blockchain-derived TVL methodology sourced from the protocol's owned smart contracts which Deploy Finance doesn't own. All user assets sit within their own self-custodial wallet and aren't controlled, custodied or owned by Deploy Finance.
