Getting started

No. You connect a Solana wallet and sign a message. That signature is your login — there’s no password, no email, and no signup form.
Any Solana wallet that can sign a message — Phantom, Solflare, and others.
Yes. It’s a message, not a transaction: it costs nothing, moves no funds, and grants no spending permission. It only proves you control the address. Check the domain in the message matches the site you’re on before approving.
No, and you never will. ryft uses MPC custody — the design has no place to put an exchange API key. Anyone asking you for one is not us.

​
Custody and security

An MPC wallet provisioned for you at sign-in. Its private key is never assembled in one place — it’s split across parties using multi-party computation.
No, and we won’t claim it is. It’s a custody model with real trade-offs: no key for you to lose, but also not a wallet you hold the seed for. See Custody, plainly.
The trading agent that places your orders cannot withdraw. Moving funds out requires separate, higher authority and goes through the withdrawal flow to an address you specify.
Your wallet is your account. If you lose the ability to sign with that address, you lose access to that account. Back up your wallet the way you would any wallet holding funds.
Never. Nor your private key, nor a signature over DM, nor a payment to release funds. Every one of those is a scam.

​
Deposits

USDC on Solana. One token, one network, one address.
It won’t credit, and the app can’t recover it. Always check the network is Solana before sending — especially when withdrawing from a centralised exchange, where the network dropdown often defaults to something else.
Same answer: not credited, not recoverable through the app.
No. It’s derived from your custody wallet, so it’s the same every time you sign in with the same wallet. Top up whenever.
Seconds — standard Solana confirmation.
It didn’t — it moved. Idle pool funds became collateral on an exchange. Your Equity is unchanged; only Available dropped.
Work through the checklist. Ninety percent of cases are wrong network, wrong token, or the wrong wallet connected.

​
Trading

Four are live today: Hyperliquid, Aster, Pacifica and Phoenix. Lighter, GRVT, edgeX and Variational are integrated for pricing and marked coming soon — ryft reads their books to find you the best number, but only routes orders where it can genuinely fill. See Supported exchanges.
Your funds live in a Solana pool and the venue may be on another chain. The first trade on a venue moves funds there — instant to about a minute. After that it’s warm.
Yes. By default ryft routes for the best fee-adjusted price, splitting across venues when that’s cheaper, but you can force a specific venue.
Because that filled cheaper. If the best price for part of your size is on one venue and the rest on another, splitting beats sending everything to one book.
The preview is a quote at the moment you asked, not a guarantee. Fast markets move between preview and confirm.
Most likely a cold start — funds are bridging. Give it the ETA shown in the preview. If it fails, the error names the stage, and your funds are still either in the pool, on the venue, or in a position.
The exchange closes your position automatically and you lose the margin backing it. Your liquidation price is shown on every open position — check it before you open, not after.

​
Withdrawals

Two steps: close any positions and reclaim the funds from the exchange back to your pool, then withdraw from the pool to your own Solana address.
Your money rests in the pool; collateral on an exchange is temporary, there to back a position. Reclaim brings it home — including bridging back from Arbitrum or BNB Chain where needed — and withdrawal is then a simple Solana transfer.
Solana, always — whichever exchange they were deployed to. Your destination must be a Solana address.
Reclaim: seconds from Pacifica or Phoenix, minutes from Hyperliquid or Aster (they bridge). Withdrawal from the pool: seconds, with an explorer link to verify.
Venue withdrawal fees and bridge costs come out along the way. ryft reports what actually landed in your pool, not what you asked for. There are minimums for this reason — about 1.50 USDC on Pacifica, about 2 on Hyperliquid and Aster.
Withdrawals are gated per deployment and off by default. When they’re off, the app says so rather than showing an action that would fail. Reclaim still works — funds never leave custody, so it isn’t gated.
Yes, as long as it’s a Solana address. It defaults to your login wallet, which is the safe choice. Read the address back before confirming.
Check the explorer link the withdrawal gave you — Solana confirms in seconds, so a successful transaction means the funds are at the destination. Then check you’re looking at a Solana wallet, and that the address was the one you meant.

​
Fees

ryft doesn’t add a deposit or withdrawal fee. You pay the underlying exchange’s trading fees, network fees on-chain, and bridge costs when a trade needs funds on another chain. Every one of those is shown in the trade preview before you commit.
Funding is a periodic payment between longs and shorts, set by the exchange — ryft takes none of it. It can be significant on positions held for days. See funding.

​
Token and rewards

It’s in development. Nothing has launched. Any token sale, presale, or airdrop claiming to be RYFT right now is a scam — a launch would be announced through official channels first.
Both in development.
