How GRID Works
GRID is a non-custodial trading bot that provides liquidity on Orca DEX. When you sign up, we create an encrypted Solana wallet just for you - only accessible with your password. You maintain full ownership and can export your private keys anytime.
The Core Concept
Earn Trading Fees While Staying Hedged
You deposit funds β Bot provides liquidity β Traders pay fees β Bot hedges exposure β You earn net yield
What Makes GRID Different
Unlike custodial trading services or basic LP strategies:
Your Wallet, Your Keys
We create a dedicated wallet encrypted with your password. You can export your private keys anytime - it's truly your wallet.
Delta-Managed
The bot hedges directional exposure using Drift perpetuals, aiming to profit from fees regardless of price direction.
Volatility-Adaptive
Position ranges automatically adjust based on market volatility to optimize fee capture.
Real Yield
Returns come from actual trading fees on Orca DEX, not token emissions or inflation.
Your Trading Journey
Let's follow what happens when you start using GRID:
Create Your Account
Sign up with your email and create a secure password. GRID generates a new Solana wallet just for you.
Your wallet is encrypted with your password - only you can access it.
Deposit Funds
Send SOL or USDC to your GRID wallet address. Minimum $500 recommended for optimal position sizing.
The bot will automatically balance your deposits for 50/50 SOL/USDC allocation.
Start the Bot
Enter your password to decrypt your wallet and activate trading. The bot only runs when you authorize it.
Your password decrypts the wallet - we never store it or have access to your keys.

How Fees Are Generated
Your account earns returns through automated liquidity provision. Here's what that means:
The Liquidity Provision Model
Think of it like a market maker:
πTraders need to swap SOL for USDC (and vice versa) on Orca DEX
π§GRID provides the liquidity (your SOL and USDC) that makes these trades possible
π°Every trade pays a fee (0.01% to 0.30%) to liquidity providers like you
π‘οΈThe hedge engine offsets directional exposure using Drift perpetuals
Why Concentrated Liquidity?
Higher Fee Capture
By concentrating liquidity in active price ranges, you earn more fees per dollar deployed
Capital Efficiency
Your capital works harder in the ranges where trading actually happens
Dynamic Adjustment
GRID automatically adjusts ranges when market conditions change
Position Management
Volatility Regimes
The bot detects three market conditions and adjusts strategy accordingly:
| Regime | Volatility | Range Strategy | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crab | Low (<3% daily) | Tight ranges (5-7%) | Aggressive fee capture |
| Normal | Medium (3-8% daily) | Balanced ranges (7.5-10%) | Standard operation |
| Blast | High (>8% daily) | Wide ranges (10-15%) | Capital protection |
Automatic Rebalancing
When positions go out of range or volatility changes significantly, the bot:
- Closes the current position
- Harvests any accumulated fees
- Recalculates optimal ranges for current conditions
- Opens new positions in the updated ranges
- Adjusts hedge positions accordingly
Withdrawing Your Funds
GRID offers complete flexibility - withdraw anytime:
β‘ Stop Bot & Withdraw
Stop the bot and request a withdrawal. The system closes your positions and funds return to your wallet.
Process: Stop bot β Positions close β Funds in your wallet β Withdraw to any address
π Export Keys & Self-Custody
Request your private keys and import them into any Solana wallet. Manage your positions directly or withdraw as you wish.
No Lock-ups
Your Money, Your Control
- No minimum holding period
- No withdrawal fees or penalties
- No approval delays
- Export private keys anytime
Understanding Costs
While the bot aims to maximize net returns, there are costs to consider:
Network Fees
Solana transaction fees (~0.00001 SOL per tx) are paid from your account for position operations.
Slippage
Position opening/closing and rebalancing may incur small slippage costs, especially in volatile markets.
Funding Rates
Hedge positions on Drift incur funding rate payments. These are factored into net returns.
