Technical details about security, infrastructure, and how dots works under the hood.
No. dots is fully self-custodial. Wallet connections use RainbowKit + wagmi, which means your private keys never leave your device. Transactions are signed client-side. We only read public on-chain data.
dots supports 14 EVM-compatible chains: Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche, zkSync Era, Scroll, Linea, Blast, Mantle, Gnosis, and Celo. Each chain has Alchemy as primary RPC, Infura as secondary, and public endpoints as fallback.
For each chain, dots attempts to connect via Alchemy first (300M compute units/mo free tier). If that fails, it falls back to Infura (100K requests/day). If both are unavailable, it uses public RPCs (LlamaRPC, official chain endpoints). This 3-tier system ensures maximum uptime.
Token balances are fetched through a cascading provider system: Covalent API (full token list with USD values) → Moralis API (ERC-20 token data) → direct RPC calls (native balance only) + CoinGecko for pricing. At minimum, native token balances are always available via RPC.
Yes. The entire codebase — frontend, API routes, service layers, and database schema — is open source. You can self-host the dashboard, audit the code, or contribute to development.
The dots Score is a composite health metric (0-100) that evaluates your portfolio based on diversification, stablecoin buffer ratio, recent performance, and chain exposure. It is calculated client-side and is not financial advice.
dots fetches market data from the Polymarket CLOB API. You can view trending markets, track your positions, compare entry vs. current probabilities, and see potential payouts — all within the dashboard.
A WalletConnect project ID is required for wallet connections (free, 1-minute signup). Alchemy and Infura API keys are optional but recommended for reliable RPC access. Covalent/Moralis keys unlock full multi-token portfolio views beyond native balances.
The Pro tier ($19/mo via Stripe) unlocks advanced analytics features: performance history, risk analysis matrices, token comparison tools, and allocation optimization. The free tier includes full portfolio aggregation, transfers, and prediction market tracking.
