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 solvency-enforced staking engine on Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. 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.

Which version is live right now — V1 or V2?+

What you can use today is V1: deployed, self-custodial and real, but a pre-production test build, so treat it as a staged test and size accordingly. V2 — the protocol the whitepaper specifies, with the manipulation-robust median, the universal AMM abstraction, computable gas bounds and result verification — is not deployed yet. It is under audit and targeted to go live on 15 November 2026, after the public bug bounty window closes on 7 November. The full staking programme opens in Q2 2027. The whole picture, with what to check, is at /learn/what-is-live-today.

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?+

Its security argument is verifiability, not attestation: immutable contracts (no upgradeable proxy — the code cannot be changed), source verified on every explorer, quotes reproducible via a free eth_call, a contract-enforced minimum output, and staking solvency provable live by anyone (isSolvent()). The one thing not done yet: an independent external audit — it is planned. Until it lands, size positions as if a bug is possible 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 80% 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 phantom liquidity, and how do I check for it?+

Phantom liquidity is depth a pool ADVERTISES but does not actually hold. Screeners report the advertised figure; the chain reports the truth. To check it yourself, take the pool address and call balanceOf on it for each side of the pair — that is what the pool really holds — then compare against the depth the listing claims. Our quotes are capacity-clamped to the real balances, so a pool cannot promise tokens it does not have.

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 on a biennial halving curve over sixteen years — plus interest paid by borrowers. No rebasing, no variable promises: the curves are contract constants.

Can the staking pool become insolvent?+

By construction a hidden shortfall is unreachable, not merely monitored: every transaction must satisfy the Master Conservation Identity or it reverts (the conserves guard). It can become insolvent only through a realised loss beyond the protocol reserve, which is rare: that loss is booked to totalBadDebt and counted in owed, so isSolvent() reports it until anyone recapitalises it with absorbBadDebt. 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?+

130,000,000 BZPX (13% of the fixed 1,000,000,000 supply) is the Airdrop & Bounties pool, which funds the community airdrop. There is no entry form and nothing to submit — eligibility is measured from on-chain behaviour, so a farmer running 20,000 wallets gains no advantage over one real user. Rules and the claim contract publish on-chain ahead of the snapshot, and are announced only on the official channels listed at /verify.

Is there a free API? Rate limits?+

Yes — no key, no signup, open CORS, and it runs on YOUR RPC: the SDK (npm i @blazephoenix/sdk viem) quotes, builds verified calldata and executes in-process through your own node; over HTTP, /api/quote/prepare returns the exact eth_call to run on your node and /api/quote/decode turns the answer into the quote and signable calldata. We perform no RPC for integrators, so there is no quota of ours to hit. Contracts per chain and version at /api/deployments, OpenAPI 3.1 at /api/openapi.json; AI agents run the local MCP server (npx -y @blazephoenix/mcp) on their own RPC.

Which chains are supported?+

Five: Base (8453), Ethereum (1), Optimism (10), Arbitrum (42161) and Robinhood Chain (4663) — byte-identical contracts on each, so quoting and safety behave the same everywhere. Robinhood Chain uses USDG as its deep quote asset rather than USDC. 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.

Is BlazePhoenix related to BluePhoenix Solutions or other "Blaze" projects?+

No. BluePhoenix Solutions is an unrelated software-modernization company, and wallets or tokens that merely contain the word Blaze are not us. The only official token is BZPX on Base (0x053D75c00FdD571538492e3B1686Bd963a0911A7) and the canonical list of official addresses and channels lives at /verify — anything not listed there is not BlazePhoenix.

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.
