Every question, answered
Plain answers to everything people ask about BlazePhoenix — and because our axiom is compute, don't trust, each answer points at something you can verify yourself.
What is BlazePhoenix?+
A fully on-chain DEX aggregator and provably-solvent staking engine on Base, Ethereum, Optimism and Arbitrum. Its defining property: the quote you see is computed by the same on-chain contract that executes the swap, so there is no pricing server to trust. Axiom: compute, don't trust.
What are the fees?+
One protocol fee of 0.28%, already included in the quoted output — the number on screen is what you receive. Gas is paid to the network (cents on L2s). There are no deposit, withdrawal, subscription or API fees, and execution surplus is returned to you fee-exempt.
Is BlazePhoenix safe? Has it been audited?+
The protocol is unaudited and immutable — read that honestly: no third-party audit yet, and no admin who can pause or patch it. What replaces trust is verifiability: contracts are verified on every explorer, quotes are reproducible via a free eth_call, the minimum output is contract-enforced, and staking solvency is provable live (isSolvent()). Use position sizes consistent with an unaudited protocol and verify every claim yourself — every page here ends with the command.
Do I need an account or KYC?+
No. There is nothing to sign up for: your wallet address is your account. The site never asks for identity, email, or custody of funds. Funds leave your wallet only at the atomic instant of a swap you signed.
Which wallets work?+
Any of 300+ via MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect and injected providers. Smart-account wallets (EIP-5792) get a one-confirmation flow: wrap + approve + swap execute atomically. EIP-7702 delegated EOAs are supported as first-class callers.
What slippage should I set?+
Starting points: ~0.2% for deep established pairs, 0.5–1% for volatile or thin tokens — deliberately, knowing tolerance is a cost you may pay. Too loose posts a bounty for sandwich bots; too tight reverts (cheap on L2s). Whatever you set, the contract independently enforces its own floor — the Iron Law Φ, hard-clamped at 75% with per-leg floors — which your setting can only tighten.
Why did my transaction revert?+
Almost always: the market moved past your minimum before inclusion, and the contract refused to fill you worse — the protection working, not failing. You lose the gas (cents on L2), never the trade amount. Re-quote and retry, or loosen slippage one notch if it repeats.
What is the Pool X-Ray?+
A free scanner for phantom liquidity: it reads any token's deepest pools and compares the depth they ADVERTISE with the balances the pool contracts actually hold on-chain. You get a verdict, the phantom percentage, and a max-safe-trade estimate. Works on any token — including ours — with no signup.
How does staking work and where does the yield come from?+
Lock BZPX from 90 days to 7 years; longer locks boost rewards on a public quadratic curve from 1.10× up to 2.75×. Yield comes from a fixed emission — 180,000,000 BZPX over 7 years — plus interest paid by borrowers. No rebasing, no variable promises: the curves are contract constants.
Can the staking pool become insolvent?+
By construction an insolvent state is unreachable, not merely monitored: every transaction must satisfy the Master Conservation Identity or it reverts (the conserves guard). Anyone can verify at any block, free: call isSolvent() on the staking contract — the /solvency page renders the full live report.
Can I borrow against my stake?+
Yes — up to 50% of your effective stake, with liquidation starting at 95% debt-to-stake. Collateral and debt are the same token, so no price oracle exists anywhere in the system: nothing to manipulate. The borrow rate turns steep above 80% pool utilisation to protect exit liquidity.
What is the BZPX airdrop?+
40,000,000 BZPX (4% of the fixed 1,000,000,000 supply) is reserved for the community airdrop. Pull the reel on the Airdrop page and register a wallet — one pull per person. Claim details are announced only on the official channels listed at /verify.
Is there a free API? Rate limits?+
Yes — no key, no signup, open CORS: /api/quote (add recipient for signable calldata), /api/quote/batch, /api/xray, /api/badge. Poll freely: identical concurrent requests coalesce into one on-chain call and previews are edge-cached ~1 block. OpenAPI 3.1 at /api/openapi.json; agents can also plug in natively via MCP at /mcp.
Which chains are supported?+
Base (8453), Ethereum (1), Optimism (10) and Arbitrum (42161) — byte-identical contracts on each, so quoting and safety behave the same everywhere. Verified addresses for every chain are listed at /verify and machine-readably at /api/manifest.
How is BlazePhoenix different from 1inch-style aggregators or intent systems like UniswapX?+
Classic aggregators quote on a private server you must trust; intent systems auction your order to off-chain solvers you must trust collectively. BlazePhoenix computes routing, quoting and the output floor ON the chain itself — reproducible by anyone with one eth_call. Different bet: verifiability over auction. The honest comparison lives at /learn/intents-vs-onchain-routing and the criteria checklist at /compare.
Who is behind BlazePhoenix? Can I verify the contracts?+
The protocol is developed pseudonymously by Mitra (profile on DoraHacks) and designed so you never need to trust the developer: contracts are verified on every explorer, fund-touching powers are renounceable, and every economic claim is reproducible from public state. Start at /verify — the canonical page for official addresses and channels.
