Deposit USDT into your Vant8 platform wallet. Vant8 routes your orders through platform-integrated exchange accounts we operate. You get started in minutes — no API keys, no exchange onboarding. In exchange, Vant8 holds the funds while you trade with them. This is the FREE-tier default; you can upgrade to Super User and connect your own exchanges whenever you want.
Funds move on-chain in and out; trading happens on Vant8's platform-integrated exchange accounts under the hood. The whole loop is visible in the dashboard.
Send USDT from your wallet to your platform deposit address on one of the supported networks. The deposit is credited after 12 confirmations.
The deposit shows up in your Vant8 platform balance. From there, it's available to any strategy you deploy.
Vant8 places your orders on platform-integrated exchange orderbooks using accounts we operate. You see fills and positions in real time.
Pull funds back to any external wallet on one of the supported networks. A withdrawal fee applies on the FREE tier.
Deposits into the platform-custodian flow use an exchange-routed address that the platform generates for you automatically — no manual network selection on the deposit side. Withdrawals give you three network options; pick the one with the best fee-to-speed trade-off for where the funds are going.
Vant8 operates its own accounts on a set of platform-integrated exchanges and places your orders on them. The Smart Order Router picks the best venue per order for total cost after fees, and Vant8 can add exchanges to the platform integration over time — the FREE-tier trading surface expands as we do.
Between the platform-integrated exchanges, the FREE tier reaches majors, mid-caps, and much of the long tail of newly-listed tokens. Your strategies see one unified market — the router handles which venue actually fills.
Regardless of which platform-integrated exchange filled your order, the fill is accounted to your strategy in your dashboard against your platform balance. You never manage exchange-side positions directly.
Three fees on the FREE tier: a deposit fee routed with your funds into the platform-custodian flow, a flat spot-trading fee per fill, and a withdrawal fee when you take funds back out. The trading fee is a single consolidated rate that covers the underlying exchange fee — you pay one rate, not exchange fee plus markup.
0.5% of the deposit amount, applied when USDT is routed into the platform-custodian flow. The exact amount is shown in the deposit modal before you confirm.
0.3% flat per spot fill. One consolidated rate that includes the underlying exchange fee — Vant8 absorbs the venue-side maker/taker cost so you get predictable per-trade pricing instead of exchange fee plus markup.
0.5–1% of the amount withdrawn, deducted at the moment of withdrawal. The rate depends on the network and current schedule and is shown in the withdrawal modal.
The whole point of the platform-custodian model is that you don't have to set up your own exchange account. That convenience has a cost: while funds are in your Vant8 platform wallet, Vant8 holds them. We're transparent about what that means.
There is no per-user private key for the platform wallet. The deposit address is Vant8-controlled and funds sit in the platform-integrated exchange accounts Vant8 operates until you withdraw.
Platform-tier balances are pooled inside a single Vant8 account per exchange — your strategy positions and balance accounting are isolated to you in our database, but the underlying exchange wallet is shared across FREE-tier users.
We are not a registered custodian and do not carry insurance on customer funds. If Vant8's exchange accounts are frozen, hacked, or restricted, your funds in those accounts are exposed to that event. See the Risk Disclosure.
You can withdraw to any external address you control at any time. If you want to stop using the platform-custodian flow entirely, withdraw and either close your account or upgrade to Super User and connect your own exchange.
Platform Custodian is spot-only trading on the platform-integrated exchange accounts, with up to three concurrently active strategies drawn from the eight FREE-tier spot bots: DCA, HODL, Grid, RSI, MACD, MA Cross, Momentum, and Mean Reversion. Upgrading to Super User expands the surface to personal exchange connections, DEX execution, perpetual futures, arbitrage, and the full strategy catalogue.
Skip the exchange onboarding — fund your platform wallet, deploy a strategy, and let it run. Upgrade to Super User when you're ready to bring your own venues.
