What Is AlgoFi and How Does It Work
AlgoFi is our AI-powered managed AI trading platform, built to give you access to systematic trading strategies through a Web3-wallet-connected experience. You connect your own supported Web3 wallet, deposit funds, choose from our available strategies and risk levels, monitor your allocation, and use our redemption and withdrawal flows when you want to exit.
Your external wallet remains yours: you control its private keys and seed phrase, and we will never ask you to share them. Once you allocate funds to an AlgoFi strategy, however, those funds enter our managed trading environment. We manage the trading process according to the strategy you selected, using our operational infrastructure and, where applicable, approved third-party trading or service infrastructure.
That distinction is important. AlgoFi is wallet-connected, but it is not a fully non-custodial or fully decentralized trading protocol. Our model combines user-controlled external wallets with a managed environment for strategy execution.

Why We Built AlgoFi Around a Web3 Wallet
We use a Web3-wallet-connected experience so that you can access AlgoFi through an external wallet rather than a conventional email-and-password account flow. Your external wallet remains under your control, and you are responsible for protecting its private keys and seed phrase.
Wallet connection, however, describes how you access and interact with AlgoFi; it does not mean funds allocated to our strategies remain in your external wallet throughout the trading process. Once you allocate funds to a strategy, they enter our managed trading environment so that the selected strategy can be operated.
This is why we describe AlgoFi as a wallet-connected managed trading platform. It is a more accurate description of how the full experience works.
How AlgoFi Works, Step by Step
- Connect Your Web3 Wallet
Your AlgoFi journey starts by connecting a supported Web3 wallet. You remain responsible for your wallet credentials. We will never ask for your private key or seed phrase, and you should never share either with anyone.
- Deposit Funds
AlgoFi currently supports deposits in USDT on the BNB Smart Chain using the BEP-20 network (USDT BEP-20). When depositing, make sure you are sending USDT through the BEP-20 network and carefully verify the deposit address before confirming the transaction. Sending funds through an unsupported network may result in loss of funds.
- Choose an AlgoFi Strategy
AlgoFi currently provides six strategy options: Tenzor, Nuvex, Drav, Yark, Xylo and Omnix. These strategies are designed around different trading approaches, including long/short, market-structure, market-making and statistical-arbitrage-oriented methods.
A strategy name or broad description does not promise a particular result. Strategy mandates, instruments, activity, risk ranges and availability can change, so the current information shown on AlgoFi should always be reviewed before you allocate funds.
- Select an Available Risk Level
You can choose an available risk level for the strategy you select. We use risk levels to help communicate the relative risk positioning of an allocation within AlgoFi.
A risk label is not a promise of safety, a guaranteed maximum loss or a guaranteed return. Even a strategy positioned at a lower risk level can experience drawdowns and losses. In general, pursuing higher target returns involves accepting greater risk and variability.
- Allocate Funds to the Strategy
When you allocate funds, they enter our managed trading environment. At this stage, the allocated capital is no longer held under your uninterrupted exclusive self-custody in your external wallet.
We manage the allocated funds for the purpose of operating the selected strategy. Depending on the strategy and operational requirements, approved third-party trading or service infrastructure may also be used as part of that process.
- AI and Quantitative Systems Support the Strategy
Our AI and quantitative systems are designed to support functions such as analysing market data, identifying patterns, generating or filtering signals, applying defined strategy rules, managing risk parameters and supporting execution.
We do not present AI as a system that can predict markets with certainty. Market conditions, liquidity, data quality, execution, technology, third-party infrastructure and other factors can affect trading outcomes. AI can make a trading process more systematic; it cannot remove market risk.
- Monitor Your Allocation
AlgoFi provides a portfolio environment where you can review your allocations and the information currently available for your strategies. Monitoring matters because strategy performance can change over time. Drawdowns, losing periods and changes in trading activity are normal possibilities in financial markets.
- Exit Through Strategy Redemption
When you want to leave an active AlgoFi strategy, you submit a strategy redemption or exit request. Under our current operating process, a seven-day cooling/redemption period applies to a strategy exit.
This is not the same as withdrawing funds from Available Balance to your external wallet. The strategy must first complete the redemption process. Once the redemption is completed, the funds move to your Available Balance.
- Withdraw Eligible Available Balance
After funds reach Available Balance and are eligible for withdrawal, you can request a transfer to your connected or designated external wallet. Completion can depend on our processing and checks as well as blockchain conditions. Network confirmation times and fees can vary.
How Is AlgoFi Different From a Simple Trading Bot?
AlgoFi is more than a single bot generating buy and sell signals. We provide a managed strategy environment that brings together wallet-connected access, multiple strategy options, selectable risk levels, portfolio monitoring, quantitative and AI-supported trading processes, strategy redemption and wallet withdrawal.
A trading strategy also involves more than signal generation. Position sizing, risk rules, execution, exposure management and the way capital enters and exits a strategy are all part of the process.
What AlgoFi Is, and What It Is Not
AlgoFi is an AI-powered managed trading and strategy-allocation platform with a Web3-wallet-connected user experience. We provide access to multiple strategies and available risk levels, and we manage allocated funds within our trading environment.
AlgoFi is not a bank or savings account. We are not a guaranteed-income or risk-free product, and we do not promise that a strategy will always be profitable. AlgoFi is also not a fully decentralized or completely non-custodial protocol once funds are allocated to a managed strategy.
What Risks Should You Understand Before Using AlgoFi?
Trading involves risk, including the possibility of losing some or all of the capital you allocate. Strategies can experience drawdowns, losing periods, volatility, market gaps, liquidity constraints, slippage, execution differences, technology failures and third-party infrastructure risk.
Historical results, backtests or simulated performance do not guarantee future results. Diversification may help distribute exposure, but it cannot eliminate the possibility of loss. Before allocating, consider the strategy, its relative risk level, available performance information, redemption mechanics, fees where applicable and your own ability to tolerate losses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AlgoFi?
AlgoFi is our AI-powered managed trading platform. You connect a supported Web3 wallet, deposit funds, select an available strategy and risk level, allocate capital, monitor the allocation, and use our redemption and withdrawal processes when you want to exit.
How does AlgoFi work?
You connect your wallet, deposit USDT using the BEP-20 network, choose an available strategy and risk level, and allocate funds. The allocated funds enter our managed trading environment, where the selected strategy is operated. When you exit, a strategy redemption occurs before eligible funds can be withdrawn to your external wallet.
Is AlgoFi an AI trading platform?
Yes. AlgoFi uses AI and quantitative systems to support market analysis, signal generation or filtering, defined strategy rules, risk parameters and execution. AI does not eliminate trading risk or guarantee profitable results.
Does AlgoFi trade automatically?
Our strategies use defined systems and controls to support the trading process. The exact operation can differ by strategy, and human oversight, market conditions, infrastructure and risk controls still matter.
How many AlgoFi strategies are there?
AlgoFi currently provides six strategy options: Tenzor, Nuvex, Drav, Yark, Xylo and Omnix. Strategy availability and mandates can change.
Can I choose my risk level on AlgoFi?
You can select from the risk levels currently available for the strategy you choose. These are relative risk categories and are not guarantees of a maximum loss or a particular return.
Is AlgoFi custodial or non-custodial?
AlgoFi is not fully non-custodial. You control your external Web3 wallet, but funds allocated to an AlgoFi strategy enter our managed trading environment.
Does AlgoFi guarantee returns?
No. Trading involves risk, and neither AI, historical performance nor a strategy’s risk label can guarantee future returns.
How do I exit an AlgoFi strategy?
You submit a strategy redemption or exit request. A seven-day cooling/redemption period currently applies, after which completed redemption funds move to Available Balance.
How do AlgoFi withdrawals work?
Once funds are in Available Balance and eligible for withdrawal, you can request a transfer to your external wallet. This wallet withdrawal is separate from the strategy redemption process.
