FAQ
Slow answers to fast questions.
What is Torto?
an AI agent that automates the world's most successful retail investing habit — the daily SIP — into the top-5 crypto basket. you set a small amount; torto buys the basket for you every day from your own wallet and proves what it bought, every week.
Does Torto hold my money?
no. torto never takes deposits. your stablecoin stays in your wallet; the vault can pull the exact daily amount once a day and nothing else. cancel is one click (approve zero, cancel plan). withdraw any time — even if torto is paused.
What is the basket?
the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap, excluding stablecoins, at least three years old, with deep liquidity and available on the execution venue. reviewed every quarter with the reasons published. we never sell what you hold; a review only redirects future buys. default weighting is by market cap with a 50% cap; equal and custom weights are available.
Does Torto promise returns?
never. no predictions, no targets, no price talk. every projection on the calculator is a historical simulation with the worst window shown next to the best, and the weekly Receipt shows the bad weeks exactly like the good ones.
What are the fees?
zero platform fee on the basket. the vault has a fee switch capped at 1% behind a 48-hour public timelock, set to zero, for later premium features. there is no withdrawal or exit fee, ever. the chain-bucket reward pool is a fixed, funded, dated budget from the BOT Chain ecosystem — not a yield.
What happens if my wallet runs low?
that day is skipped and you're told why. the plan is never cancelled for you; the next day it simply tries again. one skip doesn't have to break the crawl — the streak has a freeze.
What is a Receipt?
the weekly proof. torto shows what your daily buys bought versus one calendar buy of the same money on the first day of the week — in units, per asset, signed. public in aggregate.
What are a step, the crawl, the Shell and the bucket?
a step is one completed daily buy. the crawl is your streak of steps. the Shell is the community. the bucket is the second basket built from BOT Chain-native coins, with its own published rules and reward pool. it is not open yet — coming after the basket is live.
Which chains?
the basket executes on Base (USDC), and every fill is mirrored to a public ledger on BOT Chain. the bucket, when it opens, executes on BOT Chain (USDT) with the same vault code. not upgradeable — not by us, not by anyone.
Is it open?
yes. torto is live with small caps that rise on a published schedule. open the app, connect a wallet, set an amount from $5 a day. or watch first: get the weekly Receipt note, or follow @Torto_agent on X — the tortoise posts progress there. slowly.
What is the relationship with BOT Chain?
a partnership. torto is an independent project built with the BOT Chain ecosystem: the public execution ledger runs on BOT Chain today, and the bucket opens there with a reward pool funded by the ecosystem. BOT Chain never holds your funds, and a partnership is not a promise of returns. torto is not affiliated with Robinhood Markets, Inc.
