Security & Custody
How Grid Master keeps your funds safe — and why you always stay in control.
“Can Grid Master take my money?”
No — and it’s not a promise, it’s enforced by the blockchain itself. Your money sits in your own on-chain vault, a bit like a safe-deposit box where you hold the only key that opens the door. Our trading bot has a much smaller key: it can move funds between the two tokens you chose(that’s the trading), but the box will physically refuse any attempt to send money out to anyone but you. Even if our whole company vanished tomorrow, your funds would stay right where they are, and you could take them back at any time.
Your Keys, Your Crypto
Grid Master is non-custodial. Your funds are held in a smart contract vault that only YOU can withdraw from. We never have access to your private keys or your tokens. This is true on both chains Grid Master runs on — Solana and Robinhood Chain.
How It Works
Vault Smart Contract
Your funds are deposited into an on-chain smart contract — a Solana program on Solana, or an equivalent contract on Robinhood Chain. This vault is unique to you and tied to your wallet.
Bot Has Limited Authority
The trading bot can only execute swaps within the parameters your vault was created with. It cannot withdraw funds, change your wallet, or exceed those caps.
On-Chain Enforcement
The caps your vault is created with — max trade size, slippage, cooldown, daily limit — and its price range are written into the smart contract, which checks them on every trade. Tightening one later goes to the contract too: you sign an owner transaction, and our records are updated only after it confirms. Raising a limit is not sent, so the contract keeps the tightest value you have saved and trades above it fail on-chain rather than grow.
What You Can Do
- ✓Withdraw funds at any time
- ✓Pause the bot instantly
- ✓Deposit more into the vault
- ✓Update risk limits
- ✓Close your vault entirely
What The Bot Cannot Do
- ✕Withdraw your funds
- ✕Trade outside your price range
- ✕Exceed your max trade size
- ✕Trade with more slippage than allowed
- ✕Access your private keys
What If Something Goes Wrong?
Our servers go down
Your funds remain safe in the vault. No trades execute, but you can still withdraw directly through the smart contract.
Bot key is compromised
An attacker could only execute trades, never withdrawals, and only inside the caps written into your vault at creation. Pause the vault and withdraw to your own wallet — both are owner-only and both are in the dashboard. Reassigning the bot's authority is also an owner-only on-chain action, but the app does not expose a button for it today.
Grid Master shuts down
You can always withdraw your funds. The vault is controlled by your wallet, not by us.
What You're Trusting
While Grid Master is non-custodial, here's what you are trusting when you use the platform:
- •The smart contract code — that it correctly enforces limits and withdrawals
- •The DEX that fills your swaps — Jupiter on Solana, Uniswap v3 on Robinhood Chain — that trades execute correctly and are routed well
- •The underlying network — Solana or Robinhood Chain — that transactions are processed reliably
Risk Acknowledgment
While we've designed Grid Master with security as a priority, all smart contracts carry inherent risks. Only deposit funds you can afford to lose. Consider starting small while you learn how the system works.
