FAQ
the basics
is dust live?
the devnet beta is live at play.dust.bid with test USDC. mainnet is not live yet. soon, no date.
what can I trade?
BTC, ETH and SOL. regular bets go up to 1,000×. DUST MODE rounds run 5, 15 or 60 seconds at 5,000× or 10,000×.
who pays the gas?
we do. you pay none.
can my AI trade for me?
AI agents are coming soon. you set a cap per trade, a leverage cap, a budget and an expiry. the key can open and close, and it can never withdraw. every agent trade carries an AI tag. agents get no speed edge: the same tick about 2 seconds after the click. see AI agents.
bets and prices
why is my entry not the price I saw?
your entry is the tick about 2 seconds after your click. that tick does not exist yet when you click. that is what makes front running impossible. see trades and pricing.
how far can the price go before I get dusted?
at 1,000× it is 0.05% against you. at 100× it is 0.95%. see liquidations.
can I lose more than I put in?
no. a bet loses at most its margin.
why did my win get trimmed?
zero spread at 1,000× works because small wins pay less. 0.2 bp comes off the top of every win and the rest gets scaled down, hardest on small moves. see the worked examples in wins and losses.
does a limit order fill better if the price jumps past it?
no. you get exactly your limit. the jump past it stays with the house. a take profit works the same way: it closes at exactly your price. a stop loss is different: it closes at the first price at or past your stop. see orders.
what if my bet gets stuck?
cancel it. after 30 seconds if the price feed never reached your tick, or after 10 minutes no matter what. a stuck open gives your margin back. a stuck cash out puts the bet back open.
the house and your money
what if the house is empty?
your margin still comes back right away. your profit goes in the line and gets paid from the next losses, oldest first. no fee on a win that waits. see the house and the line.
can the house rug me?
no key can move your balance or empty the vault. the vault pays out through withdraw, and the dev can claim its own fee cut and nothing else. nobody can pause your withdraw. the dev key owns the program and can upgrade it. the page security lists what each key can and cannot do.
is it audited?
the program has had internal security reviews, not an external audit. mainnet waits until the findings are fixed and re checked. see security.
$DUST and referrals
can I sell my $DUST?
not at launch. it is a balance inside dust that you can stake. the goal path is farm $DUST now, a public milestone that makes it tradable, then buyback and burn. see $DUST overview.
how do I get USDC from staking?
stake your $DUST. stakers get USDC from every fee, plus everything the house holds above its cap. stake and unstake are instant. see staking.
how do referrals pay?
20% of our cut of every fee your people pay, 40% at the top tier, in USDC, plus 10% on top of the $DUST they mint. get your link at dust.bid. see referrals.
