Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Ava Guardian — what it does, how it stays safe, what it costs, which chains it supports.

FAQ#

Is this safe? Does Ava hold my funds?#

No. Ava is non-custodial — funds never leave your wallet and you hold your keys. It acts only within on-chain spend caps you set, and you approve every action. It's not financial advice; you confirm before anything executes.

See Non-Custodial Design for the full picture.

Do I need to sign or connect a wallet to start?#

No. Start read-only with just a wallet address in Telegram — no signing for analysis. You sign once, later, only if you ask Ava to act on your behalf — and that signature creates a permission with spend caps you set that you can revoke anytime.

See Read-Only Mode.

What does it cost?#

5 messages free, no deposit, no management fee. Beyond that you pay only for what you use — plus a small fee only when Ava takes a value-creating action.

Full breakdown: Pricing.

What can Ava actually do?#

It can:

  • Watch your positions (health factor on Aave, idle balances, risky token approvals).
  • Warn you, in plain English, before risk gets serious.
  • Propose a concrete fix at the moment risk is real — and, when you confirm, execute it within the caps you've set.

It does not trade speculatively, time the market, use leverage, or move funds in ways you didn't authorize.

Do I need to know DeFi or how to code?#

No. Ask in plain English; Ava explains your risk and proposes the fix. No dashboards, no jargon, no code.

Which chains and protocols?#

Ethereum and Base to start, on audited protocols like Aave. More EVM chains follow as audits + simulation paths land.

Can Ava trade for me?#

No, by design. Ava is a guardian, not a trading bot. It protects open positions, helps you rebalance for safety, and watches for risk. It doesn't pick trades, time entries, or use leverage. If a "boost / leverage-up" action ever ships, it will be opt-in and clearly off the default Guardian surface.

What happens if I lose my Telegram account?#

Your funds are unaffected — they're in your wallet, not in Telegram. You re-link the Guardian to your wallet from a new Telegram account and continue. The on-chain permission stays valid until you revoke it.

How do I stop using Ava?#

  • Stop chatting with it — usage fees go to zero.
  • And/or revoke the on-chain permission so Ava can't act even if it wanted to: Revoking Access.

No account to close, no card to cancel.

Is this financial advice?#

No. Ava explains what it sees and proposes actions. You decide. Nothing in Telegram or on this site is investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any asset. Not Financial Advice.
