FAQ
General
Q: What is Aegis?
A: Aegis is an AutoFi (Automated Finance) protocol on the Base network. It uses AI agents to automate DeFi investing, managing positions in real-time to optimize yield based on your risk profile.
Q: How does it work?
A: You deposit USDC and select a strategy. Our backend AutoFi Agents then take over, autonomously allocating your funds to the best available DeFi instruments (like Aave or Morpho) and rebalancing them as markets change.
Q: Is there a token?
A: No, Aegis does not currently have a token. We use a Points system to measure participation.
Security & Assets
Q: Who holds my funds?
A: You do. Your funds are held in a dedicated "Smart Address" (a smart contract wallet) that belongs to you. They are not pooled with other users.
Q: Can Aegis steal my funds?
A: The system architecture isolates assets in your Smart Address. The AutoFi Agents have restricted permissions to perform investment operations but cannot arbitrarily transfer funds to unauthorized addresses.
Q: What happens if I withdraw?
A: The Agents will liquidate your active positions, convert the assets back to USDC, and transfer the balance to your personal User Address.
Points
Q: Why are my points decreasing?
A: If you withdraw your capital, the "Auxiliary Speed Adjustment" function in the points calculation may trigger a controlled decay. This ensures fairness by preventing users from retaining high point velocities after removing their stake.
Q: Can I farm points with multiple wallets?
A: No. The system uses an anti-Sybil "Dynamic Exponent" ($n$) based on nonce and portfolio value. Splitting funds across many low-activity wallets will result in a penalty that lowers your overall point accumulation compared to using a single, credible address.
Q: Do points expire?
A: Monthly counters reset for calculation purposes, but your Lifetime Total Points are permanent.
