Funding, wallets and safety
Updated: 2026-07-04
You only need funds for live trading
Paper bots and backtesting are completely free of on-chain money — you can use the platform for weeks without funding anything. A funded wallet becomes necessary only at the moment you switch a bot to live trading.
Funding a bot wallet
Each account gets dedicated bot wallets on the platform. You fund them with USDC (a dollar-pegged stablecoin) directly from your own crypto wallet, such as MetaMask — the Add Funds dialog walks you through it. The balance then backs your live bots' trades.
Withdrawals are signature-gated
Moving funds out — or changing your payout address — requires a signature from your own MetaMask wallet, and funds can only be sent to the payout address you registered. Gogobots cannot redirect your withdrawal anywhere else. This is the core safety property of the platform: trading is automated, cashing out stays under your personal control.
Loss limits you set yourself
Every live bot has a circuit breaker: a hard drawdown limit you configure. If the bot's losses reach that limit, it stops automatically — no manual intervention needed. A bot cannot lose more than you allowed it to. Separately, a panic stop halts all your bots at once, instantly, from the dashboard.
Additional protections
Bot wallet keys are encrypted at rest and are never shown in the interface, in logs or anywhere else. Bots stop automatically if the wallet balance falls below what a single trade requires, and email notifications tell you when a bot stops and why.
