FAQ#

Is this safe? Does Ava hold my funds?#

No. Ava is non-custodial — funds stay in wallets you own, and Ava holds no keys to your wallet. In Manual mode (the default), you sign every transaction yourself. Auto mode is optional: Ava acts on its own only inside an agent permission you sign — specific contracts, a total spending limit per token, an expiry, one chain — enforced on-chain by your wallet itself. Ava can't create or widen its own permission, and it never gets full control of your wallet. To run Auto on your own wallet, you upgrade it once (an EIP-7702 upgrade: same address, same keys) — only ever to the contract Ava shows you. You can pause a job, revoke a permission, or undo the upgrade anytime. It's not financial advice.

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 only when you want Ava to act. In Manual mode, you sign each transaction in your own wallet. In Auto mode, you sign an agent permission — a signature, not a transaction, so no gas — with a total spending limit per token and an expiry. Every Auto action runs under it, including always-on jobs like health-factor protection, and disabling it stops them all. Auto on your own wallet also needs a one-time upgrade first (same address, same keys); or use a separate Ava smart wallet you fund.

See Read-Only Mode and Permissions & Limits.

What does it cost?#

Ava is free today — no deposit, no subscription, and nothing is charged. We're shaping pricing with early users, and you'll always see the cost before anything is ever charged.

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 prepare the transaction for you to confirm — or, in Auto mode, run always-on protection inside an agent permission you've signed.

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.

Full list: Supported Chains.

Can Ava trade for me?#

Not on its own initiative. Ava is a guardian, not a trading bot. It protects open positions, helps you rebalance for safety, and watches for risk. It will carry out a swap you ask for on Uniswap V3, or a weekly swap you set up, but it doesn't pick trades, time entries, or use leverage.

What happens if I lose my Telegram account?#

Your funds are unaffected — they're in wallets you own, not in Telegram, and Ava holds no keys to your wallet. Auto mode is managed in Ava Studio on the web, not in chat: pause jobs on the Running page, disable agent permissions on the Wallets page, or undo your wallet's upgrade to stop Auto on it. Every permission also expires on its own.

How do I stop using Ava?#

• Stop chatting with it. Ava is free today, so there's nothing to cancel.
• If you use Auto mode: disable your agent permissions on the Wallets page — that stops every job and action that used them — or undo your wallet's upgrade — one transaction that turns it back into a plain wallet. Undoing doesn't erase stored permissions, so if you might upgrade again, disable them and finish their on-chain removal first. If you used a separate Ava smart wallet, withdraw your funds from it too (withdrawals always go back to your main wallet). 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.
