FAQ

General Questions

How often does rebalancing occur?

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.

Is my money locked up?

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).

How are gas costs handled?

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

How do I know the optimization is working?

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.

Can I see my allocation history?

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

Can the protocol access my funds directly?

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.

What if an integrated protocol fails or is exploited?

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.

What happens during high volatility?

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

What blockchain networks are supported?

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

How can I integrate Thesauros into my DeFi application?
