General Questions

chevron-rightHow often does rebalancing occur?hashtag

Rebalancing happens when opportunity warrants it, not on a fixed schedule. Typically every few hours to days, depending on market dynamics. The system only rebalances when the expected APR improvement exceeds costs (gas + threshold), ensuring every rebalancing adds value.

chevron-rightIs my money locked up?hashtag

No. Thesauros has no lock-up periods. Withdraw anytime, though you may need to wait a few minutes if rebalancing is actively executing (prevents frontrunning).

chevron-rightHow are gas costs handled?hashtag

Users pay zero gas for rebalancing operations. You only pay gas for your own deposits and withdrawals. All rebalancing gas costs are borne by the protocol. The system ensures rebalancing benefits exceed these costs before executing.

Performance & Monitoring

chevron-rightHow do I know the optimization is working?hashtag

Track your vault's APR in the dashboard and compare it to:

  • Individual protocol APRs you'd get by depositing directly

  • Historical performance of your vault

  • APR improvements recorded in each rebalancing transaction

The on-chain transparency allows independent verification of every optimization decision.

chevron-rightCan I see my allocation history?hashtag

Yes! All allocations are recorded on-chain. You can view:

  • Current allocation in the Thesauros dashboard

  • Historical rebalancing transactions via block explorers

  • Before/after allocation comparisons for each rebalancing

Security & Risk

chevron-rightCan the protocol access my funds directly?hashtag

No. Funds are held in smart contracts, not controlled by any centralized entity. Rebalancing operations execute through audited smart contracts with multi-signature requirements. The protocol cannot arbitrarily withdraw or misuse user funds.

chevron-rightWhat if an integrated protocol fails or is exploited?hashtag

Multiple layers of protection:

  1. Diversification: Funds spread across multiple protocols limits exposure

  2. Monitoring: Continuous monitoring can detect issues quickly

  3. Emergency response: Protocol can pause affected integrations

  4. Withdrawal safety: Users can always withdraw remaining funds

The multi-protocol approach means a single protocol failure would only affect the portion allocated there, not your entire deposit.

chevron-rightWhat happens during high volatility?hashtag

During high volatility, the system becomes more cautious. Risk parameters tighten, and rebalancing may pause if conditions exceed safety thresholds. The emergency pause mechanism can halt new rebalancing operations while always allowing user withdrawals.

Technical

chevron-rightWhat blockchain networks are supported?hashtag

Currently deployed on Arbitrum One. Integration with additional networks under consideration based on user demand and security considerations.

chevron-rightHow can I integrate Thesauros into my DeFi application?hashtag

As ERC-4626 compliant vaults, Thesauros integrates seamlessly with the DeFi ecosystem. For specific integration guidance, contact the team at dev@thesauros.io
