Money leaves only to addresses you registered
A new address starts deposit-only. Withdrawals unlock to it only after a deposit has arrived from it, so an attacker who reaches your account still has nowhere to send funds.
Where your money sits, and who can move it
Autmint holds one balance for you, in USDT, and runs orders on venues in your name. This page is the plain version of what that means — including the parts that are not in your favour.
The controls that matter
Exchange keys cannot withdraw
Autmint holds trade-only API keys on the venues where cycles execute. The keys can place buys and sells; they cannot move assets off the venue.
Local payouts must match your name
A money-market note that settles directly pays only to a bank account verified in your own name. That account can never be used as a deposit source.
Every order has a reference
Each buy, sell, placement and fill is written to one ledger with the venue reference and the failure reason when there is one. Nothing is summarised away.
What Autmint cannot do
- Move your money to anyone other than you
- Change a cycle target — it is fixed at a double
- Spend money in a money-market term before it matures
- Hide a failed order, a fee, or a pending transfer from the ledger
What protection you do not have
USDT is a token issued by a third party. It is not money held at a bank, its value depends on that issuer continuing to honour it, and it is not covered by federal deposit insurance (FDIC) or investor protection (SIPC). A transfer sent on the wrong network, or from an address you have not registered, can be delayed or lost and Autmint cannot reverse it. Money inside a money-market note is owed to you by the provider that holds it, not by Autmint, and is exposed to the exchange rate until it settles. Crypto held inside an open cycle can fall in value with no floor and no deadline. Autmint being careful does not make any of those risks go away.
