Rebalance
Selling some assets and buying others so your portfolio matches the split you want.
Target
The percentage of your portfolio you want in each asset.
Circle
A group that rebalances the same assets on a schedule. Rounds happen inside Circles.
Round
One session: members join, Sama finds matches, everyone approves, and it settles.
Match
The part of your rebalance that cancels out with other members' and moves wallet to wallet.
Leftover
The part of your rebalance that didn't find a match. You decide what happens to it.
Free signature
A message your wallet signs. It costs no gas and moves no tokens by itself.
Token allowance
Permission for the settlement contract to move an exact amount of one token from your wallet.
All-or-nothing settlement
All transfers in the plan happen in one transaction, or none of them do.
Independent check
After settlement, a separate service re-reads the chain to confirm everything moved exactly as planned.
Gas sponsorship
Sama pays the BNB network fee for approvals and settlements, so you don't need BNB to take part.
Intent
Your signed limits for one round: per asset, the most you will send and receive. It moves nothing by itself.
Plan
The exact list of transfers in a round that every participant approves and one transaction executes.
Price snapshot
One price per asset for the whole round, pinned to one block. Its hash is in every intent and plan.
Tier
A, B or C: how an asset is priced and whether its leftovers can be swapped. See Supported assets.
Dust
A leftover under $0.10, too small for any market. It is reported, never traded.
