FAQ

Short answers to what people ask most.

Does Sama hold my tokens?

No. Tokens move directly between the wallets in a round. The settlement contract holds nothing before or after.

What do I sign?

First a free signature to join a round. If you're matched, a free signature to approve the exact plan, and a token allowance for exactly what you send.

What if nobody matches me?

Nothing moves. You can carry your rebalance into the next round, swap it on PancakeSwap, or drop it.

Do I need BNB?

Not when gas sponsorship is on. Signatures are always free.

Is this investment advice?

No. You pick the target; Sama only lines up the trades.

Why did nothing match in my round?

Matching needs somebody heading the other way on the same assets at the same time. A small Circle, a one-sided market, or assets few people hold (tier C) all make a match less likely. Roll your leftover into the next round or invite people who trade the same assets.

Can I leave a round after joining?

Joining only signs your limits; nothing moves until you approve a plan. If you don't approve, the plan expires after 30 minutes and nothing moves. After approving, you can still withdraw with cancelNonce before settlement.

Who sends the settlement transaction?

Any participant. Once everyone approved, the first person to press Submit settlement pays the gas for everyone's transfers.

What price do I get?

The round's snapshot price, the same for every member. It is shown before you join and again before you approve.

Does Sama charge a fee?

The settlement contract takes no fee. You pay network gas for allowances and settlement, and PancakeSwap's pool fee if you choose to swap a leftover.

Can other members see my address?

Not in Sama: members appear as Peer 2, Peer 3. The settlement itself is a public BNB Chain transaction, like any other.
