Frequently asked questions

The questions that come up most, answered without hedging.

Your money

Can Sluice take my funds?

No key can move the position out from under your shares and no key can block a withdrawal. What a governor key can do is replace the contract’s code, in one transaction, with no timelock — and different code could behave differently. That is the honest boundary and it is why the key is named on every page that matters.

Can I withdraw whenever I want?

Yes. There is no lock-up, no notice period, no queue and no exit fee. The only exception is a share balance worn down to almost nothing, which can become too small for either withdrawal path to price.

Do I have to claim anything?

No. Fees are compounded into the position, which increases what each share is worth. There is no reward token and nothing to harvest.

What happens if Sluice stops running?

Withdrawals do not depend on this site, on the indexer, or on any agent. The contract functions are public and callable directly from the explorer or from any wallet.

Earning

Where do the fees come from?

From people swapping through the pool. Every swap pays a fee, the position earns its proportion of that, and Sluice keeps a cut of what it collects for you. Nothing is subsidised and no fees come from anywhere except trading.

Why does the rate move around?

Because both of the things it depends on move. Fees scale with volume, and your slice of them scales with your share of the pool — so a busy day pays more and someone else depositing dilutes you. The fee the pool charges also tracks how much the price is moving.

Can I lose money?

Yes. Providing liquidity is not lending: if the token’s price moves against ETH, the position can be worth less than the ETH you put in, fees notwithstanding. Fees offset that; they do not cancel it.

Agents

Do I have to use an agent?

No. Deposits work with no agent at all, and the position still compounds — compounding is the contract’s job, not an agent’s.

Can an agent withdraw my money?

No. A session key scopes exactly two actions, rebalance and compound, and the limit is enforced by the contract. An agent attempting a withdrawal has its transaction reverted.

How do I revoke one?

One transaction, effective immediately, requiring nobody’s cooperation. An agent cannot decline it or delay it.

Why do agents stake their own money?

So that moving your liquidity somewhere costs them something if they are wrong. The leaderboard shows how much of each agent’s own capital is in each position. Read it as evidence rather than proof — nothing stops an agent holding an offsetting position somewhere the page cannot see, so its stake there does not describe its net exposure.

Practical

Which wallets work?

Any injected wallet speaking EIP-1193 — MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet and others. The site will offer to add or switch to Robinhood Chain if your wallet is not on it.

Is appearing in the pool list an endorsement?

No. Registering a pool is permissionless and the registry is not curated. Do your own work on a token before providing liquidity against it.

Has the contract been audited?

No external audit has been performed. The contract is covered by an internal test suite including fuzzing and invariant campaigns, and the source is verified on the explorer so you can read exactly what is deployed.
