Your wallet connection is maintained, but each network has separate: * Token balances * Liquidity positions * Transaction history *** ## Which Should I Use? **Choose Base if:** * You're new to DeFi * You want to trade established tokens * You already have ETH on Base **Choose Keeta if:** * You want faster transactions * You want to create your own liquidity pools * You want to earn custom fees as a pool operator # Your First Swap Complete your first token swap on Silverback DEX. *** ## On Base Network ### Step-by-Step 1. **Connect your wallet** (see [Connect Your Wallet](/getting-started/connect-wallet)) 2. **Navigate to Swap** * Click "Swap" in the navigation menu * Ensure "Base" is selected in the network dropdown 3. **Select your tokens** * **From**: Choose the token you want to sell * **To**: Choose the token you want to receive 4. **Enter amount** * Type the amount you want to swap * The output amount will auto-calculate 5. **Review the details** * **Exchange Rate**: How many output tokens per input token * **Price Impact**: How much your trade affects the market price * **Minimum Received**: Accounting for slippage 6. **Adjust slippage (optional)** * Click the gear icon ⚙️ * Default is 0.5% * Increase for volatile tokens or large trades 7. **Approve token (first time only)** * If this is your first time trading this token, you'll need to approve it * Click "Approve" and confirm in your wallet * This is a one-time transaction per token 8. **Execute the swap** * Click "Swap" * Review the confirmation popup * Confirm the transaction in your wallet 9. **Wait for confirmation** * Transaction typically confirms in \~2 seconds on Base * You'll see a success message when complete > **Pro Tip:** Silverback automatically routes through our pools and OpenOcean to find you the best rate. *** ## On Keeta Network ### Option 1: AMM Swap 1. **Connect Keythings wallet** 2. **Select Keeta network** from the dropdown 3. **Navigate to Swap page** 4. **Select tokens and amount** 5. **Click "Swap"** 6. **Confirm in Keythings wallet** 7. Done! Settlement is \~400ms ### Option 2: Anchor Swap (Often Better Rates) 1. **Navigate to Keeta → Anchor** page 2. **Select your token pair** 3. **Enter the amount** you want to swap 4. **View available quotes:** * 🔵 **Blue** = Official FX Anchors * 🟠 **Orange** = Silverback user pools 5. The best rate is **automatically selected** 6. **Click "Swap"** 7. **Sign two transactions:** * TX1: Send your tokens to the pool * TX2: Backend sends output tokens to you 8. Done! *** ## Understanding the Swap Interface ### Price Impact Price impact shows how much your trade will move the market price. | Impact | Meaning | | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | < 0.1% | Excellent — minimal impact | | 0.1% - 1% | Good — normal for most trades | | 1% - 5% | Moderate — consider splitting into smaller trades | | > 5% | High — you may want to reduce size or find more liquidity | ### Slippage Tolerance The maximum price movement you'll accept between submitting and execution. * **0.5%** — Default, good for stable pairs * **1-3%** — Better for volatile tokens * **5%+** — Only for very volatile or low-liquidity tokens If price moves more than your tolerance, the transaction will fail (protecting you from bad fills). *** ## Common Issues **"Insufficient Balance"** * Make sure you have enough of the input token * Remember you need ETH (Base) or KTA (Keeta) for gas fees **"Price Impact Too High"** * Your trade is too large relative to pool liquidity * Try a smaller amount or split into multiple trades **"Transaction Failed"** * Increase slippage tolerance * Make sure you have enough gas * The price may have moved — try again See [Troubleshooting](/support/troubleshooting) for more help. # Overview Complete guide to using Silverback DEX features. *** ## Core Features Silverback DEX provides full decentralized exchange functionality across Base and Keeta networks: * **Token Swaps** — Trade any supported token pair * **Liquidity Pools** — Provide liquidity and earn fees * **Anchor Pools** — Create custom pools with your own fee structure (Keeta) * **Portfolio Management** — Track and manage your positions *** ## In This Section | Guide | Description | | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | [Swapping Tokens](/dex-guide/swapping-tokens) | Detailed swap guide for both networks | | [Managing Liquidity](/dex-guide/managing-liquidity) | Add/remove liquidity, earn fees | | [Anchor Pools](/dex-guide/anchor-pools) | Create and manage custom pools on Keeta | | [Portfolio & Positions](/dex-guide/portfolio) | View and manage your LP positions | *** ## Fee Structure ### Swap Fees | Network | Pool Type | Fee | Goes To | | ------- | ----------------- | ----------- | ------------------- | | Base | Classic (V2) | 0.3% | Liquidity Providers | | Base | Concentrated (V3) | Variable | Liquidity Providers | | Keeta | AMM Pools | 0.3% | Liquidity Providers | | Keeta | Anchor Pools | 0.01% - 10% | Pool Creator | ### Gas Fees * **Base**: Paid in ETH (\~$0.01-0.10 per transaction) * **Keeta**: Paid in KTA (minimal) *** ## Non-Custodial Silverback DEX is fully non-custodial. This means: * You maintain control of your funds at all times * No registration or KYC required * Trade directly from your wallet * Withdraw liquidity whenever you want Your keys, your coins. # Swapping Tokens Complete guide to swapping tokens on Silverback DEX. *** ## Base Network Swaps ### How It Works When you swap on Base, Silverback automatically: 1. Checks our native liquidity pools 2. Queries OpenOcean aggregator for better rates 3. Routes your trade through the best path 4. Executes with optimal pricing ### Step-by-Step 1. Navigate to the **Swap** page 2. Select **Base** network from the dropdown 3. Choose your **input token** (what you're selling) 4. Choose your **output token** (what you're buying) 5. Enter the amount you want to swap 6. Review the quote: * Exchange rate * Price impact * Slippage tolerance 7. Click **"Swap"** 8. Approve the transaction in your wallet 9. Wait for confirmation (\~2 seconds) ### Adjusting Slippage Click the gear icon ⚙️ to adjust slippage tolerance: | Setting | Use Case | | ------- | ------------------------------------- | | 0.1% | Very stable pairs (stablecoins) | | 0.5% | Default — works for most trades | | 1-3% | Volatile tokens or larger trades | | 5%+ | Very volatile or low liquidity tokens | > **Warning:** Higher slippage means you may receive fewer tokens. Only increase when necessary. *** ## Keeta Network Swaps Keeta offers two swap methods: ### Option 1: AMM Pool Swaps Standard automated market maker swaps through Silverback's liquidity pools. 1. Navigate to **Swap** page 2. Select **Keeta** network 3. Select tokens and enter amount 4. The app finds the best pool automatically 5. Click **"Swap"** 6. Confirm in Keythings wallet **Settlement: \~400ms** ### Option 2: FX Anchor Swaps Access both official Keeta FX anchors and user-created Silverback pools through one interface. 1. Navigate to **Keeta → Anchor** page 2. Select your token pair 3. Enter swap amount 4. View available quotes: * 🔵 **Blue quotes** = Official FX Anchors * 🟠 **Orange quotes** = Silverback user pools 5. Best rate is auto-selected (you can choose manually) 6. Click **"Swap"** **Two-Transaction Process:** | Step | What Happens | | ---- | ------------------------------------------------ | | TX1 | You sign to send tokens to the pool | | TX2 | Backend automatically sends output tokens to you | Both transactions are required for the swap to complete. *** ## Understanding Price Impact Price impact measures how much your trade affects the market price. ### Why It Matters Large trades relative to pool liquidity will "move" the price against you. The bigger your trade, the worse your effective rate. ### Reading Price Impact | Impact | Status | Recommendation | | --------- | ------------ | -------------------------- | | < 0.1% | 🟢 Excellent | Trade freely | | 0.1% - 1% | 🟢 Good | Normal range | | 1% - 3% | 🟡 Moderate | Consider smaller size | | 3% - 5% | 🟠 High | Split into multiple trades | | > 5% | 🔴 Very High | Find deeper liquidity | ### Reducing Price Impact * **Smaller trades** — Split large orders into multiple smaller ones * **Different pairs** — Route through intermediate tokens (ETH → USDC → TARGET) * **Wait for liquidity** — Pools may have more liquidity at different times * **Use Anchors (Keeta)** — Check anchor page for alternative pools *** ## Token Approvals ### What Are Approvals? ERC-20 tokens require you to "approve" a smart contract before it can spend your tokens. This is a security feature. ### How It Works 1. First time trading a token → Approval transaction required 2. Approve once per token per contract 3. After approval, you can trade that token freely ### Approval Options * **Exact amount** — Only approve the amount you're trading (most secure) * **Unlimited** — Approve infinite spending (more convenient, less secure) > **Security Tip:** For maximum security, approve only the amount you need. For convenience with tokens you trade often, unlimited approval saves gas on future trades. *** ## Swap Settings Access settings via the gear icon ⚙️: | Setting | Description | Default | | -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------- | | Slippage Tolerance | Max price movement accepted | 0.5% | | Transaction Deadline | Time before trade expires | 20 minutes | | Expert Mode | Bypass confirmation warnings | Off | *** ## Tips for Better Trades 1. **Check price impact** before confirming 2. **Compare rates** between AMM and Anchor swaps on Keeta 3. **Trade popular pairs** for better liquidity and rates 4. **Avoid trading during high volatility** unless necessary 5. **Split large trades** to minimize price impact # Managing Liquidity Provide liquidity to earn trading fees on Silverback DEX. *** ## How Liquidity Works When you provide liquidity, you: 1. Deposit a pair of tokens into a pool 2. Receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share 3. Earn a portion of all swap fees in that pool 4. Can withdraw your tokens + earned fees anytime **Example:** You deposit ETH + USDC. Every time someone swaps ETH↔USDC, you earn a share of the 0.3% fee. *** ## Base Network Liquidity ### Pool Types **Classic Pools** * Simple 50/50 token ratio * Great for beginners * Liquidity spread across all prices * Earn fees on any trade in the pool **Concentrated Pools** * Advanced — set custom price ranges * Higher capital efficiency * Earn more fees when price is in your range * Requires more active management *** ### Adding Liquidity (Classic ) 1. Navigate to **Pool** page 2. Select **Base** network 3. Click **"Add Liquidity"** 4. Select two tokens for your pair 5. Enter amount for the first token * Second token auto-calculates to maintain 50/50 ratio 6. Review: * Pool share you'll receive * LP tokens you'll get 7. Click **"Add Liquidity"** 8. **Approve both tokens** (if first time) 9. Confirm the transaction 10. Receive LP tokens in your wallet > **Note:** You must add both tokens in equal value. If you enter 1 ETH worth $2,000, you'll need $2,000 worth of the other token. *** ### Adding Liquidity (Concentrated ) 1. Navigate to **Pool** page 2. Select **Base** network 3. Click **"New Position"** 4. Select token pair 5. Choose fee tier (0.05%, 0.3%, or 1%) 6. Set your price range: * **Min Price**: Lower bound * **Max Price**: Upper bound 7. Enter deposit amounts 8. Review position details 9. Confirm transaction **Price Range Tips:** * Narrower range = More fees when in range, but risk going out of range * Wider range = Less fees, but more consistent earnings * Current price should be within your range to start earning *** ### Removing Liquidity (Base) 1. Go to **Portfolio** page 2. Find your position under "Classic Positions" or "Concentrated Positions" 3. Click **"Remove"** or **"Withdraw"** 4. Choose how much to remove: * 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% * Or enter custom amount 5. Review what you'll receive: * Original tokens * Accumulated fees 6. Confirm the transaction 7. Tokens return to your wallet *** ## Keeta Network Liquidity ### Creating a New Pool On Keeta, you can create entirely new pools: 1. Navigate to **Keeta → Pool** page 2. Click **"Create New Pool"** 3. Select two tokens 4. Set initial amounts for both tokens * This determines the starting price ratio * Example: 100 KTA + 1000 USDC = 1 KTA costs 10 USDC 5. Click **"Create Pool"** 6. Confirm 3 transactions: * Create pool structure * Send token A * Send token B 7. Receive LP tokens ### Adding to Existing Pools 1. Navigate to **Keeta → Pool** page 2. Find the pool you want to join 3. Click **"Add Liquidity"** 4. Enter amounts (maintains current price ratio) 5. Confirm transactions 6. Receive LP tokens proportional to your deposit ### Removing Liquidity (Keeta) 1. View your positions on the Pool page 2. Select the pool 3. Enter amount to remove 4. Confirm transaction 5. Receive tokens proportionally based on current pool ratio *** ## Understanding LP Tokens ### What Are LP Tokens? LP tokens are proof of your deposit. They represent: * Your share of the pool's total liquidity * Your claim on accumulated fees * Your right to withdraw ### Important Facts * **Keep them safe** — Losing LP tokens = losing your liquidity * **They're transferable** — Can be sent to other wallets * **Value changes** — Based on pool performance and token prices * **Fees compound** — Automatically added to the pool (no claiming needed) *** ## Earning Fees ### How Fees Work | Network | Pool Type | Fee Rate | | ------- | --------------- | -------------------- | | Base | Classic V2 | 0.3% per swap | | Base | Concentrated V3 | 0.05% / 0.3% / 1% | | Keeta | AMM | 0.3% per swap | | Keeta | Anchor | Custom (0.01% - 10%) | ### Fee Distribution Fees are distributed proportionally based on your share of the pool. **Example:** * Pool has $100,000 total liquidity * You provided $10,000 (10% share) * Pool earns $100 in fees * You earn $10 (10% of fees) ### When You Receive Fees * **Classic/AMM Pools**: Fees automatically compound into the pool. You receive them when you withdraw. * **Concentrated Positions**: Fees accumulate separately and can be claimed anytime. * **Anchor Pools**: Fees compound into your pool reserves. *** ## Impermanent Loss ### What Is It? Impermanent loss occurs when the price ratio of your deposited tokens changes. You may end up with less value than if you had simply held the tokens. ### Example You deposit: * 1 ETH ($2,000) * 2,000 USDC * Total: $4,000 ETH price doubles to $4,000: * If you had just held: 1 ETH ($4,000) + 2,000 USDC = $6,000 * In the pool: \~0.71 ETH ($2,828) + 2,828 USDC = $5,656 * Impermanent loss: \~$344 (5.7%) ### Key Points * Called "impermanent" because it reverses if prices return to original ratio * Becomes "permanent" when you withdraw at different price ratios * **Trading fees can offset impermanent loss** — If you earn more in fees than you lose to IL, you're still profitable ### Minimizing Impermanent Loss * Provide liquidity to **stable pairs** (USDC/USDT) — minimal price divergence * Choose **correlated assets** — tokens that move together * Use **concentrated positions** strategically * **Monitor your positions** — withdraw if IL exceeds fee earnings *** ## Best Practices 1. **Start small** — Test with small amounts first 2. **Understand the tokens** — Know what you're providing liquidity for 3. **Monitor regularly** — Check your positions periodically 4. **Consider IL** — Factor impermanent loss into your strategy 5. **Compare APRs** — Higher fees might come with higher risk 6. **Diversify** — Don't put all liquidity in one pool # Anchor Pools (Keeta) Create your own liquidity pools with custom fees on Keeta Network. *** ## What Are Anchor Pools? Anchor pools are user-created liquidity pools that compete in Keeta's FX anchor aggregator. Unlike standard AMM pools with fixed 0.3% fees, anchor pools let you: * **Set custom fees** from 0.01% to 10% * **Earn fees** when swaps route through your pool * **Compete** with official FX anchors and other user pools When users swap on the Anchor page, the system automatically routes to the pool offering the best rate — including yours. *** ## Creating an Anchor Pool ### Requirements * Keythings wallet connected * Both tokens you want to pair * 3-5 KTA for transaction fees * Enough liquidity to be competitive ### Step-by-Step 1. Navigate to **Keeta → My Anchors** page 2. Click **"Create New Anchor Pool"** 3. Fill in the details: | Field | Description | | --------- | ------------------------------ | | Token A | First token in the pair | | Amount A | How much of Token A to deposit | | Token B | Second token in the pair | | Amount B | How much of Token B to deposit | | Fee (bps) | Your fee in basis points | 4. **Review your pool:** * Initial price ratio = Amount B ÷ Amount A * LP tokens you'll receive = √(Amount A × Amount B) 5. Click **"Create Pool"** 6. **Complete the four-step process:** | Step | Action | | ---- | ----------------------------------------- | | 1 | Backend creates pool account and LP token | | 2 | You confirm sending Token A to pool | | 3 | You confirm sending Token B to pool | | 4 | Backend mints LP tokens to your wallet | 7. **Success!** Your pool is now live and will appear in the Anchor aggregator. *** ## Understanding Fees (Basis Points) Fees are set in **basis points (bps)**. 100 bps = 1%. | Basis Points | Percentage | Strategy | | ------------ | ---------- | ----------------------------------------- | | 10 bps | 0.1% | Aggressive — attract maximum volume | | 30 bps | 0.3% | Standard — competitive with most pools | | 50 bps | 0.5% | Moderate — balance volume and earnings | | 100 bps | 1.0% | Conservative — higher margin, less volume | ### Fee Strategy Tips * **Check competitors** — Look at existing pools for the same pair * **Slightly undercut** — Being 5-10 bps lower often wins the trade * **Balance volume vs margin** — Lower fees = more trades but less per trade * **Monitor and adjust** — Change fees based on performance *** ## Managing Your Pools From the **My Anchors** page, you can manage all your pools: ### Update Fee 1. Click **"Update Fee"** on your pool card 2. Enter new fee (1-1000 bps) 3. Confirm the transaction 4. New fee takes effect immediately > **Tip:** Monitor your 24h volume. If it drops, try lowering your fee. If volume is high and you want more per trade, try increasing slightly. ### Pause Pool Temporarily stop accepting swaps: * Pool remains funded * No swaps will route to your pool * Resume anytime Use this when: * You need to rebalance * Market conditions are unfavorable * You're adjusting strategy ### Resume Pool Reactivate a paused pool to start earning again. ### Close Pool Permanently close the pool: 1. Remove all liquidity first 2. Close the pool structure 3. Cannot be undone *** ## Pool Analytics Each pool card displays: | Metric | Description | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | | 24h Volume | Total value swapped through your pool | | 24h Swaps | Number of trades | | Fees Collected | Your earnings | | Current Reserves | Pool balances (Token A / Token B) | ### Reading Your Analytics * **High volume, low fees collected?** → Consider raising fee * **Low volume?** → Try lowering fee or adding liquidity * **Unbalanced reserves?** → Lots of one-way trading, may need rebalancing *** ## Strategy Guide ### Competitive Positioning Your pool competes for every swap. The aggregator routes to the best rate, considering: 1. **Your fee** — Lower fee = better rate for users 2. **Your liquidity** — More liquidity = less price impact 3. **Current reserves** — Balanced reserves = better rates ### Winning More Trades 1. **Undercut on fees** — Be 5-10 bps lower than competitors 2. **Deeper liquidity** — Add more capital to reduce price impact 3. **Stay balanced** — Imbalanced pools offer worse rates 4. **Popular pairs** — Focus on high-demand token pairs ### Maximizing Earnings | Strategy | Approach | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Volume Play | Low fees (10-20 bps), high volume | | Margin Play | Higher fees (50-100 bps), accept lower volume | | Balanced | Moderate fees (30 bps), steady earnings | ### Risk Management * **Don't over-concentrate** — Spread across multiple pools * **Monitor impermanent loss** — Same risks as regular LP * **Watch for arbitrage** — Large price moves can drain one side * **Keep reserves balanced** — Add liquidity to lagging side *** ## FAQ **Can I have multiple anchor pools?** Yes! Create one pool per token pair. You cannot have two pools for the same pair from the same wallet. **Can others add liquidity to my pool?** Not currently. Each user creates and manages their own pools independently. **What fee should I start with?** Start at 30 bps (0.3%) — it's competitive with standard AMM pools. Adjust based on performance. **How do I know if my pool is getting trades?** Check the 24h Volume and 24h Swaps metrics on your pool card. **Why isn't my pool getting volume?** Common reasons: * Fee is too high compared to competitors * Not enough liquidity (high price impact) * Reserves are imbalanced * Low demand for this token pair *** ## Troubleshooting **Pool creation failed** * Verify you have enough of both tokens * Ensure 3-5 KTA for fees * Check you don't already have this pair **LP tokens not received** * Wait a moment for the final transaction * If still missing, contact support **Pool not appearing in aggregator** * May take a few moments to index * Ensure pool is not paused * Verify pool has liquidity # Portfolio & Positions Track and manage all your liquidity positions on Silverback DEX. *** ## Base Network Portfolio Navigate to the **Portfolio** page to view all your Base positions. ### Classic Positions Your V2 liquidity positions display: | Field | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------- | | Pool | Token pair (e.g., ETH/USDC) | | Your Liquidity | Dollar value of your position | | Pool Share | Your percentage of total pool | | Token Amounts | How many of each token you have | | Unclaimed Fees | Fees earned (auto-compounded) | **Actions:** * **Add** — Deposit more liquidity * **Remove** — Withdraw some or all ### Concentrated Positions Positions show additional information: | Field | Description | | -------------- | -------------------------------- | | Price Range | Min/Max prices for your position | | Status | In Range ✅ or Out of Range ⚠️ | | Liquidity | Your deposited value | | Unclaimed Fees | Fees ready to claim | | Token Amounts | Current composition | **Actions:** * **Collect Fees** — Claim earned fees to wallet * **Add Liquidity** — Increase position size * **Remove** — Withdraw partially or fully * **Close** — Remove 100% and close position ### Position Health Your concentrated position only earns fees when the current price is within your range: | Status | Meaning | Action | | ------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------ | | ✅ In Range | Earning fees normally | None needed | | ⚠️ Out of Range | Not earning fees | Consider adjusting range | | 🔴 Far Out of Range | Idle liquidity | Reposition or withdraw | *** ## Keeta Network Portfolio ### Viewing Positions Navigate to **Keeta → My Anchors** to view your Keeta positions. Each anchor pool shows: * Pool pair and reserves * 24h volume and swap count * Fees collected * Pool status (Active/Paused) ### Managing Positions From your portfolio you can: * Update pool fees * Pause/resume pools * Add or remove liquidity * View detailed analytics *** ## Understanding Your Returns ### Fee Earnings Your earnings depend on: 1. **Pool volume** — More swaps = more fees 2. **Your share** — Larger share = more of each fee 3. **Fee rate** — Higher rate = more per swap (but may reduce volume) **Example Calculation:** * Pool does $10,000 daily volume * Fee rate is 0.3% * Daily fees: $30 * Your share: 10% * Your daily earnings: $3 ### Total Return Your total return = Fee Earnings - Impermanent Loss Even with impermanent loss, you can be profitable if fees exceed IL. *** ## Tracking Performance ### What to Monitor | Metric | Why It Matters | | ----------- | ------------------------------------- | | Pool TVL | Larger pools = more stable | | Volume | Higher volume = more fees | | Your Share | Tracks if being diluted | | Fee APR | Annualized fee return | | IL Exposure | Potential downside from price changes | ### Performance Tips 1. **Check weekly** — Don't obsess daily, but stay informed 2. **Compare to holding** — Would holding tokens outperform? 3. **Track fees vs IL** — Are fees covering impermanent loss? 4. **Rebalance when needed** — Adjust positions that underperform *** ## Withdrawing Liquidity ### When to Withdraw Consider withdrawing when: * You need the capital elsewhere * IL exceeds fee earnings significantly * Pool volume has dried up * You want to reposition into better opportunities ### How to Withdraw **Base Classic :** 1. Go to Portfolio 2. Find position → Click "Remove" 3. Select percentage (25/50/75/100%) 4. Confirm transaction 5. Receive both tokens + fees **Base Concentrated :** 1. Go to Portfolio 2. Find position → Click "Collect" for fees only 3. Or "Remove" for partial/full withdrawal 4. Confirm transaction **Keeta Pools:** 1. Go to My Anchors 2. Select pool → Remove Liquidity 3. Enter amount 4. Confirm transactions 5. Receive tokens proportionally ### What You Receive When withdrawing, you receive: * Proportional amounts of both tokens (based on current ratio) * Any accumulated fees > **Note:** You may not receive the same ratio you deposited. The pool ratio changes as people trade. *** ## FAQ **Why did my token amounts change?** As people trade, the pool ratio shifts. You always own a percentage of the *pool*, not fixed token amounts. **Where are my fees?** * Classic/AMM: Auto-compounded into position (received on withdrawal) * Concentrated: Accumulate separately (claim anytime) * Anchors: Compound into pool reserves **Can I withdraw anytime?** Yes! Liquidity is never locked. Withdraw whenever you want. **Why is my Concentrated LP position out of range?** The market price moved outside your set range. You're not earning fees until price returns to range, or you reposition. # Overview The native token powering the Silverback ecosystem. *** ## Overview **$BACK** is the governance and utility token of Silverback DEX, launched through Virtuals Protocol. It represents ownership in the Silverback ecosystem and provides access to revenue sharing from DEX operations and AI trading profits. **Ticker:** $BACK **Silverback has your BACK.** *** ## Core Utility ### Revenue Sharing $BACK holders benefit from multiple revenue streams: * **DEX Protocol Fees** — Portion of swap fees across all pools * **Treasury Trading Profits** — Returns from Silverback AI agent's trading * **x402 API Fees** — Settlement fees from paid intelligence endpoints * **Cross-Chain Arbitrage** — Profits from multi-network opportunities ### x402 Payment Discount Pay with $BACK for Silverback's [paid API endpoints](/silverback-ai-agent/x402-payments) and receive: * **Zero settlement fees** — other tokens pay 0.1% to 0.25% * **20% discount** on every endpoint ### Staking Rewards Stake $BACK to earn rewards from protocol revenue. Rewards are distributed through buybacks that fill staking pools, creating sustainable yield without inflation. *** ## In This Section | Page | Description | | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | [Tokenomics](/usdback-token/tokenomics) | Supply, distribution, and mechanics | | [Staking & Rewards](/usdback-token/staking-rewards) | How to stake and earn | | [Revenue Sharing](/usdback-token/revenue-sharing) | How profits flow to holders | *** ## Quick Links * **Buy $BACK**: [Virtuals Protocol](https://app.virtuals.io/prototypes/0x558881c4959e9cf961a7E1815FCD6586906babd2) * **Contract Address**: See [Contract Addresses](/resources/contract-addresses) * **Chart**: Coming soon # Tokenomics $BACK token supply, distribution, and economic design. *** ## Token Details | Property | Value | | --------------- | ------------------ | | Token Name | Silverback | | Ticker | $BACK | | Launch Platform | Virtuals Protocol | | Model | Unicorn Tokenomics | | Network | Base | *** ## Launch via Virtuals Protocol $BACK launches through Virtuals Protocol's **Unicorn** tokenomics model, which provides: * Fair launch mechanics * Built-in liquidity * Transparent distribution * AI agent integration *** ## Supply Mechanics ### No Inflationary Rewards Unlike many DeFi tokens, $BACK does not mint new tokens for rewards. Instead: 1. Protocol generates revenue (fees, trading profits) 2. Revenue is used to **buy back** $BACK from the market 3. Bought tokens fill the **staking reward pool** 4. Stakers earn from this pool This creates: * **Sustainable yield** — Rewards backed by real revenue * **Buy pressure** — Continuous market purchases * **No dilution** — Supply doesn't increase *** ## Revenue Sources The protocol generates revenue from multiple sources: | Source | Description | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | DEX Swap Fees | Portion of 0.3% fees from all swaps | | Anchor Pool Fees | Revenue from Keeta anchor operations | | Treasury Trading | Profits from AI agent's systematic trading | | Cross-Chain Arbitrage | Returns from multi-network opportunities | All revenue streams contribute to the buyback mechanism. *** ## Economic Flywheel ``` Revenue Generated ↓ Buybacks ↓ Staking Rewards ↓ More Staking ↓ Reduced Selling ↓ Price Support ↓ More Users/Volume ↓ More Revenue... ``` The model creates a self-reinforcing cycle where protocol success benefits token holders. *** ## Why This Model? ### Problem with Inflationary Rewards Many DeFi protocols: * Mint tokens for rewards → Dilutes holders * Creates constant sell pressure * Unsustainable long-term * "Farm and dump" culture ### Silverback's Approach * Rewards come from **real revenue** * Buybacks create **buy pressure** * No new supply = **no dilution** * Sustainable for long-term holders *** ## Token Utility Summary | Utility | Description | | ------------- | -------------------------------------- | | Staking | Earn share of protocol revenue | | Governance | Vote on protocol decisions | | Fee Discounts | Reduced fees for holders (future) | | Access | Priority features for stakers (future) | *** ## Contract Information See [Contract Addresses](/resources/contract-addresses) for verified contract details. > **Always verify** contract addresses before interacting.

Go to the Staking page 2. Connect your wallet 3. Enter amount to stake 4. Approve $BACK (first time only) 5. Confirm stake transaction 6. Start earning rewards ### Claiming Rewards 1. Visit Staking page 2. View accumulated rewards 3. Click "Claim" to receive 4. Or "Compound" to add to stake ### Unstaking 1. Visit Staking page 2. Click "Unstake" 3. Enter amount to withdraw 4. Confirm transaction 5. Receive $BACK in wallet *** ## Staking Benefits | Benefit | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------- | | Revenue Share | Earn from DEX fees & trading profits | | No Lockup | Unstake anytime (no penalties) | | Compound Growth | Reinvest rewards for higher returns | | Governance Weight | Staked tokens count toward voting | | Sustainable Yield | Backed by real revenue, not inflation | *** ## APR Factors Your actual APR depends on: 1. **Protocol Revenue** — More trading volume & profits = higher rewards 2. **Total Staked** — More stakers = rewards split more ways 3. **Token Price** — Affects buyback quantities APR will vary based on these factors. Higher protocol usage generally means better staking returns. *** ## Staking vs. Holding | Factor | Just Holding | Staking | | ------------ | ----------------- | ------------------ | | Earn Rewards | ❌ | ✅ | | Governance | Limited | Full weight | | Flexibility | Instant transfers | Must unstake first | | Effort | None | Minimal | For long-term holders, staking maximizes your returns without additional risk. *** ## Security * Staking contracts will be audited * No admin keys that can drain funds * Non-custodial — you maintain ownership * Transparent on-chain mechanics *** ## FAQ **Is there a minimum stake?** TBD — will be announced at launch. **Is there a lockup period?** No mandatory lockup. Unstake anytime. **When are rewards distributed?** Distribution schedule TBD — likely weekly or on-demand claiming. **Can I compound automatically?** Manual compounding at launch. Auto-compound may be added later. **What happens if I unstake partially?** You keep earning on remaining stake. Rewards calculated proportionally. # Revenue Sharing How Silverback protocol revenue flows back to $BACK holders. *** ## Revenue Model Silverback generates revenue from multiple sources, all contributing to holder benefits: ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ REVENUE SOURCES │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ DEX Fees (Base & Keeta) │ │ + Treasury Trading Profits │ │ + x402 API Settlement Fees │ │ + Cross-Chain Arbitrage │ │ + Future Revenue Streams │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ↓ Protocol Treasury ↓ $BACK Market Buybacks ↓ Staking Reward Pool ↓ Distributed to Stakers ``` *** ## Revenue Sources ### 1. DEX Protocol Fees Every swap on Silverback DEX generates fees: | Network | Fee | LP Share | Protocol Share | | ------------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | Base | 0.3% | Majority | Portion to treasury | | Keeta AMM | 0.3% | Majority | Portion to treasury | | Keeta Anchors | Variable | Pool creator | Small protocol cut | The protocol's share of fees contributes to buybacks. ### 2. Treasury Trading Profits The Silverback AI agent actively trades with treasury capital: * Systematic, data-driven strategies * Strict risk management (max 2% per trade) * Multiple strategies: arbitrage, perpetuals, liquidity provision * Profits contribute to buyback pool ### 3. x402 API Fees Silverback's [paid intelligence API](/silverback-ai-agent/x402-payments) generates revenue from every request: * 16+ paid endpoints covering market data, trading tools, and DeFi analytics * Settlement fees of 0.1% (stablecoins) to 0.25% (blue-chip assets) on every payment * $BACK payments are fee-exempt — encouraging $BACK adoption while other tokens generate protocol revenue * All fees route through the on-chain fee splitter to the treasury ### 4. Cross-Chain Arbitrage Operating across Base and Keeta enables arbitrage opportunities: * Price discrepancies between networks * Atomic execution reduces risk * AI agent identifies and executes opportunities * Profits flow to treasury ### 5. Future Revenue Streams As Silverback expands: * Additional network deployments * Fiat on-ramp fees * Premium features * Partnership revenue *** ## Buyback Mechanism ### How It Works 1. **Revenue Accumulates** — From all sources above 2. **Buybacks Execute** — Treasury purchases $BACK from market 3. **Pool Fills** — Bought tokens enter staking reward pool 4. **Stakers Earn** — Rewards distributed to stakers ### Why Buybacks? | Approach | Effect | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Mint new tokens | Dilutes holders, inflation | | Distribute revenue | Taxable event, fragmented | | **Buybacks → Staking** | Buy pressure + sustainable rewards | Buybacks create natural demand while providing real yield to stakers. *** ## Transparency ### On-Chain Verification All revenue and buybacks are verifiable on-chain: * Treasury wallet publicly viewable * Buyback transactions traceable * Staking pool balances visible * Distribution history available ### Reporting Silverback provides regular updates on: * Trading performance (without revealing strategies) * DEX volume and fees generated * Buyback amounts and timing * Staking pool growth *** ## Sustainable Economics ### The Problem with Most DeFi Many protocols: * Promise high APY through inflation * Mint tokens faster than they create value * Result: Token price declines, real returns negative * Unsustainable "ponzinomics" ### Silverback's Approach * **Revenue-backed rewards** — Only distribute what's earned * **No inflation** — Fixed supply, buybacks only * **Real yield** — Returns from actual protocol usage * **Aligned incentives** — Team succeeds when holders succeed *** ## Estimating Returns Your share of revenue depends on: | Factor | Impact | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | | Protocol Revenue | More revenue = larger buybacks | | Your Stake % | Larger stake = larger share | | Total Stakers | More stakers = more division | | Buyback Timing | Market conditions affect quantities | **Note:** Returns will vary. Higher protocol adoption and trading volume generally leads to better staking returns. *** ## FAQ **How often do buybacks happen?** Schedule TBD — likely based on accumulated revenue thresholds or time intervals. **Can I see buyback transactions?** Yes, all transactions will be visible on-chain and reported. **What if trading has losses?** The AI agent uses strict risk management. Losses reduce buyback amounts but don't create obligations for holders. **Is this sustainable long-term?** Yes — rewards scale with actual revenue. No promises of fixed APY, just fair share of real profits. **Do I need to stake to benefit?** Buybacks benefit all holders through buy pressure. Staking lets you also earn direct rewards from the pool. # Overview The autonomous AI powering Silverback's trading operations. *** ## The Builder-Trader Silverback isn't just another AI that talks about markets — it **operates** them. While other AI agents offer commentary and analysis, Silverback: * Runs actual trading infrastructure * Manages real liquidity across networks * Executes systematic strategies with real capital * Shares profits with the community **Intelligence through infrastructure.** *** ## Core Philosophy ### Prove, Don't Tell Many AI agents claim expertise through confident predictions and market commentary.

You won't always know exactly how it achieves those results — and that's intentional. Operational edge matters. # How It Works Technical overview of the Silverback AI agent. *** ## Architecture Silverback is deployed through **Virtuals Protocol** using the **GAME framework** (Generative Autonomous Multimodal Entities). ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SILVERBACK AI AGENT │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Personality Layer │ │ - Character traits │ │ - Communication style │ │ - Decision framework │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Strategy Layer │ │ - Trading strategies │ │ - Risk management │ │ - Portfolio allocation │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Execution Layer │ │ - DEX operations │ │ - Trade execution │ │ - Cross-chain actions │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Infrastructure Layer │ │ - Silverback DEX (Base) │ │ - Keeta Network integration │ │ - Treasury management │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` *** ## Virtuals Protocol Integration ### What is Virtuals? Virtuals Protocol enables creation and deployment of autonomous AI agents on Base. Key features: * **Tokenized AI Agents** — Each agent has its own token * **Autonomous Operation** — Agents act independently * **On-chain Actions** — Execute real transactions * **GAME Framework** — Standardized agent architecture ### Silverback's Implementation Silverback uses Virtuals' Unicorn tokenomics model: * Fair launch through Virtuals launchpad * Built-in liquidity mechanisms * Agent token ($BACK) tied to agent performance * Revenue sharing through buyback model *** ## Agent Capabilities ### Market Analysis * Process market data in real-time * Identify patterns and opportunities * Assess risk/reward ratios * Generate trading signals ### Trade Execution * Execute swaps on Silverback DEX * Manage liquidity positions * Perform cross-chain operations * Implement systematic strategies ### Communication * Post updates on social media * Respond to community * Report on performance * Provide market observations ### Infrastructure Management * Operate DEX liquidity * Manage treasury allocations * Monitor pool health * Optimize for performance *** ## Decision Framework Silverback operates within predefined parameters: ### Risk Management | Parameter | Constraint | | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | | Max Position Size | 2% of treasury per trade | | Stop Loss | Defined per strategy | | Exposure Limits | Diversified across positions | | Drawdown Limits | Circuit breakers if exceeded | ### Strategy Selection The agent evaluates opportunities based on: 1. **Expected Value** — Probability × Potential Return 2. **Risk Assessment** — Downside scenarios 3. **Market Conditions** — Volatility, liquidity, trends 4. **Portfolio Context** — Current exposure, correlation ### Execution Rules * No FOMO trades * No revenge trading after losses * Stick to defined strategies * Prioritize capital preservation *** ## Data Sources Silverback processes data from: * On-chain transactions and pool states * Price feeds across multiple DEXs * Market depth and liquidity data * Historical patterns and volatility All data processing happens within the agent's autonomous framework. *** ## Transparency vs. Edge ### What's Public * Treasury balance and changes * Trade outcomes (wins/losses) * General strategy categories * Performance metrics * Risk parameters ### What's Private * Specific entry/exit signals * Proprietary strategy details * Exact position sizing logic * Timing mechanisms **Why?** Publishing exact strategies would eliminate their edge. Silverback shares enough for accountability while maintaining operational advantage. *** ## Continuous Operation Silverback operates 24/7: * Markets never sleep, neither does Silverback * Autonomous monitoring and execution * No human intervention required for routine operations * Alert systems for exceptional conditions *** ## Security Considerations ### Agent Security * Operates within Virtuals Protocol security model * Limited to predefined action sets * Cannot exceed risk parameters * Auditable on-chain actions ### Treasury Security * Multi-sig where appropriate * Limited withdrawal capabilities * Transparent on-chain treasury * Conservative position sizing *** ## Technical Stack | Component | Technology | | ----------------- | ------------------------ | | Agent Framework | Virtuals GAME | | Primary Network | Base (Ethereum L2) | | Secondary Network | Keeta | | DEX Protocol | Uniswap V2/V3 compatible | | Execution | On-chain transactions | *** ## Future Development Planned enhancements: * Additional network integrations * Expanded strategy repertoire * Enhanced cross-chain capabilities * Advanced analytics and reporting * Community governance integration # Paid API (x402) Access Silverback's DeFi intelligence through micropayments. *** ## What is x402? [x402](https://www.x402.org) is a micropayment protocol built on HTTP. When you request a paid endpoint, the server responds with **HTTP 402 Payment Required** along with accepted payment options. Your client signs a payment authorization, re-sends the request, and the payment settles on-chain automatically. You only pay if you get a response. No subscriptions, no API keys, no accounts. *** ## How It Works 1. **Request** any paid endpoint 2. **Receive** a 402 response with payment options 3. **Sign** a payment authorization (tokens don't leave your wallet yet) 4. **Re-send** the request with the signed payment attached 5. **Receive** the data — payment settles on-chain in the background The [x402 SDK](https://www.x402.org) handles steps 2-4 automatically, so you can use it just like a normal `fetch` call. *** ## Accepted Tokens Pay with any of these tokens on **Base** (Chain ID 8453): | Token | Type | Settlement Fee | Notes | | --------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------- | | **$BACK** | Silverback Native | **0% (fee-exempt)** | **20% discount** on all endpoints | | USDC | Stablecoin | 0.1% | Primary payment token | | USDT | Stablecoin | 0.1% | | | DAI | Stablecoin | 0.1% | | | VIRTUAL | Ecosystem | 0.1% | Virtuals Protocol token | | WETH | Blue-chip | 0.25% | Wrapped Ether | | cbBTC | Blue-chip | 0.25% | Coinbase Wrapped BTC | USDC payments are also accepted via the **Keeta** payment network. Prices for volatile tokens (BACK, VIRTUAL, WETH, cbBTC) are calculated using live market rates, refreshed every 5 minutes. *** ## $BACK Payment Benefits Paying with $BACK gives you two advantages over any other token: * **Zero settlement fees** — all other tokens incur 0.1% to 0.25% * **20% discount** on every endpoint — a $0.02 endpoint costs only $0.016 in BACK This is the cheapest way to access Silverback's intelligence services. *** ## Available Endpoints ### Market Data ($0.001) | Endpoint | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | Gas Price | Current Base network gas prices and estimates | | Trending Tokens | Trending tokens on Base | | Top Coins | Top coins by market cap with Silverback intelligence signals | | Top Pools | Top liquidity pools ranked by APR | | Top Protocols | Top DeFi protocols by TVL | | Token Metadata | Detailed token information, links, and stats | ### Agent Intelligence ($0.001 - $0.002) | Endpoint | Price | Description | | ---------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------- | | Agent Reputation | $0.001 | On-chain agent reputation scores (ERC-8004) | | Agent Discover | $0.002 | Discover registered AI agents on Base | ### Trading Tools ($0.002 - $0.05) | Endpoint | Price | Description | | ------------------ | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Swap Quote | $0.002 | DEX swap quotes via 0x Protocol aggregation | | Pool Analysis | $0.005 | Pool reserves, TVL, fees, and risk analysis | | Correlation Matrix | $0.005 | Multi-token price correlations (30-day) | | Token Audit | $0.01 | Smart contract security audit (honeypot, taxes, ownership) | | Whale Moves | $0.01 | Large holder movement tracking | | Technical Analysis | $0.02 | RSI, EMA, Bollinger Bands, and chart patterns | | DeFi Yield | $0.02 | DeFi yield opportunities across Base protocols | | Arbitrage Scanner | $0.02 | Cross-DEX price spread detection | | Swap Execution | $0.05 | Execute a DEX swap | ### Advanced ($0.10) | Endpoint | Price | Description | | -------- | ----- | --------------------------------------- | | Backtest | $0.10 | Historical trading strategy backtesting | *** ## Quick Start ### Using the x402 SDK (Recommended) ```javascript import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from '@x402/fetch'; import { ExactEvmScheme } from '@x402/evm/exact/client'; const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, { schemes: [{ x402Version: 2, network: 'eip155:8453', client: new ExactEvmScheme(yourWalletSigner) }] }); // Use it like normal fetch — payments are automatic const response = await fetchWithPayment( 'https://x402.silverbackdefi.app/api/v1/gas-price' ); const data = await response.json(); ``` ### Requirements * A wallet with any accepted token on Base * **USDC:** Works out of the box (uses ERC-3009, no approvals needed) * **All other tokens:** One-time ERC-20 approval to Permit2 (`0x000000000022D473030F116dDEE9F6B43aC78BA3`) *** ## Free Endpoints These endpoints are available without payment: | Endpoint | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------------ | | `/health` | Server health check | | `/api/v1/pricing` | View all endpoint prices | | `/api/v1/endpoints` | List available endpoints | *** ## Silverback Facilitator Silverback operates its own **x402 payment facilitator** — the service that verifies, settles, and confirms payments on-chain. This means Silverback controls the full payment stack, with no reliance on third-party facilitators. **Facilitator URL:** `https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app` ### What the Facilitator Does When you send a signed payment with your API request: 1. **Verify** — The facilitator checks that your signature is valid, the token is whitelisted, and the amount covers the endpoint price 2. **Settle** — It submits the payment transaction on-chain (Base), transferring tokens from your wallet to the fee splitter 3. **Confirm** — Once the transaction is confirmed (\~2 seconds), it returns a receipt with the transaction hash You never interact with the facilitator directly — the x402 SDK and Silverback's API server handle this automatically. ### Payment Protocols The facilitator supports two settlement protocols: | Protocol | Used For | How It Works | | ------------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **ERC-3009** | USDC | `transferWithAuthorization` — no approvals needed, sign-and-pay in one step | | **Permit2** | All other tokens | `permitWitnessTransferFrom` — requires a one-time ERC-20 approval to Permit2 | When you pay with USDC, the x402 SDK uses ERC-3009 for the simplest experience. For any other token (BACK, USDT, DAI, VIRTUAL, WETH, cbBTC), it uses Permit2. ### Fee Splitter All payments route through Silverback's on-chain **Fee Splitter** contract on Base: ``` Your Wallet → Fee Splitter Contract → splits into: ├── Net payment → Silverback Treasury (for buybacks & operations) └── Settlement fee → Protocol fee recipient ``` * **$BACK payments:** No fee is taken — 100% goes to treasury * **Stablecoin payments (USDC, USDT, DAI):** 0.1% fee * **Blue-chip payments (WETH, cbBTC):** 0.25% fee * **Ecosystem tokens (VIRTUAL):** 0.1% fee The fee split happens atomically on-chain — there's no manual step or delay. ### Token Whitelisting The facilitator only accepts **curated, whitelisted tokens**. This protects against scam tokens and ensures reliable settlement. The current whitelist includes 8 tokens across stablecoins, ecosystem tokens, and blue-chip assets. New tokens can apply for listing on a case-by-case basis. ### Facilitator Public Endpoints The facilitator exposes several informational endpoints (no payment required): | Endpoint | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | [`/health`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/health) | Facilitator status, fee model, and configuration | | [`/supported`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported) | Supported networks, tokens, and x402 version | | [`/supported/tokens`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/tokens) | All accepted tokens with live USD prices | | [`/supported/convert?usd=0.02&token=BACK`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/convert?usd=0.02\&token=BACK) | Convert a USD amount to any token | | [`/settle/stats`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/settle/stats) | Total settlements, volume, and success rate | | [`/discovery/resources`](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/discovery/resources) | Browse all available paid resources | ### Settlement Details | Property | Value | | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | Network | Base (Chain ID 8453) | | Confirmation | \~2 seconds (1 block) | | x402 Version | 2 | | Scheme | Exact | | Facilitator Address | `0x48380bCf1c09773C9E96901F89A7A6B75E2BBeCC` | | Fee Splitter | `0x6FDf52EA446B54508f50C35612210c69Ef1C1d9a` | | Permit2 | `0x000000000022D473030F116dDEE9F6B43aC78BA3` | | Treasury | `0xD34411a70EffbDd000c529bbF572082ffDcF1794` | After a successful payment, the transaction hash is returned in the `payment-response` header so you can verify settlement on [BaseScan](https://basescan.org). *** ## FAQ **Do I need an API key?** No. x402 uses wallet-based authentication. Your payment signature is your access. **What if the request fails after I pay?** The x402 protocol is atomic — payment only settles if the server returns a successful response. **Can I pay from any wallet?** Yes, any wallet with supported tokens on Base. Hardware wallets, browser wallets, and programmatic wallets all work. **How do I approve tokens for Permit2?** For non-USDC tokens, you need a one-time ERC-20 approval to the Permit2 contract. Most wallet interfaces can do this, or you can call `approve()` directly on the token contract with spender `0x000000000022D473030F116dDEE9F6B43aC78BA3`. **Where do payments go?** Payments route through Silverback's fee splitter contract. The settlement fee (if any) goes to protocol operations, and the net amount goes to the Silverback treasury — contributing to $BACK buybacks and staker rewards. # Seller Integration How to accept multi-token x402 payments on your own endpoints using the Silverback Facilitator. *** ## Overview If you run an API and want to charge per-request using x402, the Silverback Facilitator handles all the payment complexity for you. You just need to: 1. Return the right **402 response** when a client hasn't paid 2. Point to the **Silverback Facilitator** as your payment processor 3. Choose which **tokens** you want to accept The facilitator handles signature verification, on-chain settlement, fee splitting, and transaction confirmation. You focus on your API. *** ## What You Need * A wallet address on Base to receive payments * An Express.js server (or any HTTP server) * The `@x402/express` package (or build your own 402 responses) *** ## Step 1: Install Dependencies ```bash npm install @x402/express ``` *** ## Step 2: Configure Your Server Set these environment variables: ```bash # Required X402_WALLET_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress # Where you receive payments # Facilitator SILVERBACK_FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app ``` *** ## Step 3: Set Up Payment Middleware ### Option A: Using the x402 Express Package ```javascript import express from 'express'; import { paymentMiddleware } from '@x402/express'; const app = express(); // Configure the Silverback facilitator const facilitatorUrl = 'https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app'; // Define your paid routes with prices const paidRoutes = { '/api/v1/my-endpoint': { price: '$0.01', network: 'eip155:8453', config: { description: 'My paid endpoint' } } }; // Add payment middleware app.use(paymentMiddleware( facilitatorUrl, paidRoutes, { walletAddress: process.env.X402_WALLET_ADDRESS } )); // Your endpoint logic (only runs after payment is verified) app.get('/api/v1/my-endpoint', (req, res) => { res.json({ success: true, data: 'Your response here' }); }); app.listen(3000); ``` ### Option B: Build Your Own 402 Response If you're not using Express or want full control, return an HTTP 402 response with the `payment-required` header: ```javascript app.get('/api/v1/my-endpoint', (req, res) => { // Check if request has a valid payment const paymentHeader = req.headers['payment-signature']; if (!paymentHeader) { // Return 402 with payment options const paymentRequired = { x402Version: 2, error: 'Payment required', accepts: buildAcceptsArray('$0.01'), facilitatorUrl: 'https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app' }; const encoded = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(paymentRequired)).toString('base64'); return res.status(402) .set('payment-required', encoded) .set('Cache-Control', 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, private') .json({ error: 'Payment required' }); } // Payment exists — verify with facilitator, then serve response // ... }); ``` *** ## Step 4: Build Your Payment Options The `accepts` array in your 402 response tells clients which tokens you accept. Each entry is one payment option. ### Accept Only USDC (Simplest) ```javascript function buildAcceptsArray(usdPrice) { const priceNum = parseFloat(usdPrice.replace('$', '')); const usdcAmount = Math.floor(priceNum * 1e6); // USDC has 6 decimals return [{ scheme: 'exact', network: 'eip155:8453', amount: usdcAmount.toString(), asset: '0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913', // USDC on Base payTo: process.env.X402_WALLET_ADDRESS, maxTimeoutSeconds: 300, extra: { name: 'USD Coin', version: '2' } }]; } ``` ### Accept Multiple Tokens To accept more tokens, add additional entries to the `accepts` array. Each token needs its amount converted from USD at the current market rate. ```javascript // Token registry with addresses and decimals const TOKENS = { USDC: { address: '0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913', decimals: 6, stable: true }, USDT: { address: '0xfde4C96c8593536E31F229EA8f37b2ADa2699bb2', decimals: 6, stable: true }, DAI: { address: '0x50c5725949A6F0c72E6C4a641F24049A917DB0Cb', decimals: 18, stable: true }, VIRTUAL: { address: '0x0b3e328455c4059EEb9e3f84b5543F74E24e7E1b', decimals: 18, stable: false }, WETH: { address: '0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006', decimals: 18, stable: false }, cbBTC: { address: '0xcbB7C0000aB88B473b1f5aFd9ef808440eed33Bf', decimals: 8, stable: false }, BACK: { address: '0x558881c4959e9cf961a7E1815FCD6586906babd2', decimals: 18, stable: false, discount: 0.20 }, }; function buildAcceptsArray(usdPrice) { const priceNum = parseFloat(usdPrice.replace('$', '')); const accepts = []; for (const [symbol, token] of Object.entries(TOKENS)) { // Get token price (stablecoins = $1, others fetched from API) const tokenPrice = token.stable ? 1.0 : getTokenPrice(symbol); if (!tokenPrice) continue; // Apply discount for BACK const effectivePrice = token.discount ? priceNum * (1 - token.discount) : priceNum; // Convert USD to token base units const tokenAmount = effectivePrice / tokenPrice; const baseUnits = BigInt(Math.floor(tokenAmount * (10 ** token.decimals))); accepts.push({ scheme: 'exact', network: 'eip155:8453', amount: baseUnits.toString(), asset: token.address, payTo: process.env.X402_WALLET_ADDRESS, maxTimeoutSeconds: 300, extra: { name: symbol, version: '2', ...(token.discount ? { discount: `${token.discount * 100}%` } : {}) } }); } return accepts; } ``` ### Use the Facilitator's Price API Instead of fetching prices yourself, use the facilitator's built-in converter: ```bash # Convert $0.02 to BACK token amount curl https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/convert?usd=0.02&token=BACK # Response: # { "usdAmount": 0.02, "tokenAmount": "206172839506173", "token": "BACK", "decimals": 18 } ``` ```bash # Get all token prices at once curl https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/tokens # Response includes priceUsd for each token ``` *** ## Step 5: Using the Fee Splitter (Optional) If you want Silverback to handle fee splitting automatically, point `payTo` to the Fee Splitter contract instead of your own wallet. The fee splitter takes a small percentage and forwards the rest to your wallet. ```javascript const FEE_SPLITTER = '0x6FDf52EA446B54508f50C35612210c69Ef1C1d9a'; // In your accepts array: { scheme: 'exact', network: 'eip155:8453', amount: '2000', asset: '0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913', payTo: FEE_SPLITTER, // Route through fee splitter maxTimeoutSeconds: 300, extra: { name: 'USD Coin', version: '2', actualRecipient: '0xYourWalletAddress' // You receive the net amount } } ``` **Fee rates:** * $BACK: 0% (fee-exempt) * Stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI): 0.1% * Ecosystem tokens (VIRTUAL): 0.1% * Blue-chip assets (WETH, cbBTC): 0.25% *** ## Step 6: Register in the Discovery Bazaar (Optional) Make your endpoints discoverable by other agents and clients through the Silverback Bazaar. The facilitator's discovery service at `/discovery/resources` lets clients browse available x402 endpoints. To register your endpoints, publish a resource description that includes: ```json { "resource": "https://your-server.com/api/v1/your-endpoint", "x402Version": 2, "description": "What your endpoint does", "category": "defi", "tags": ["swap", "quote", "base"], "accepts": [ { "scheme": "exact", "network": "eip155:8453", "amount": "2000", "asset": "0x833589..." } ], "metadata": { "provider": "Your Project Name", "method": "POST", "inputSchema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "token": { "type": "string", "description": "Token address or symbol" } }, "required": ["token"] } } } ``` **Discovery endpoints on the facilitator:** * `GET /discovery/resources` — Browse all registered endpoints * `GET /discovery/categories` — List categories (defi, trading, analytics, etc.) * `GET /discovery/tags` — List all tags * `GET /discovery/info` — Service metadata *** ## Important Rules ### Amount Conversion Amounts in the `accepts` array must be in **base units** (smallest denomination), not human-readable amounts: | Token | Decimals | $0.01 in base units | | ------------------ | -------- | ----------------------- | | USDC | 6 | `10000` | | USDT | 6 | `10000` | | DAI | 18 | `10000000000000000` | | WETH (at $2,100) | 18 | `4761904761904` | | cbBTC (at $70,000) | 8 | `14` | | BACK (at $0.00008) | 18 | `100000000000000000000` | Getting decimals wrong is the most common integration mistake. ### Cache Control Always set `Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, private` on 402 responses. Without this, CDNs may cache the payment options and serve stale prices. ### Timeout Set `maxTimeoutSeconds: 300` (5 minutes) in each payment option. This gives clients enough time to sign and submit payment without the authorization expiring. ### x402 Version Always set `x402Version: 2` in your 402 response. Version 2 supports both ERC-3009 (USDC) and Permit2 (all other tokens). *** ## How the Client Pays You don't need to implement this — the x402 SDK handles it automatically on the client side. But for reference: 1. Client receives your 402 response 2. SDK picks a token the client has sufficient balance for 3. **USDC** — SDK signs an ERC-3009 `transferWithAuthorization` (no prior approval needed) 4. **Any other token** — SDK signs a Permit2 `permitWitnessTransferFrom` (requires one-time Permit2 approval) 5. SDK sends the signed payment to the facilitator for verification 6. Facilitator confirms the payment is valid 7. SDK re-sends the original request with the payment proof in the `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header 8. Your server receives the request, facilitator settles on-chain, and you serve the response *** ## What You Handle vs What the Facilitator Handles | You (the seller) | Silverback Facilitator | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | | Return 402 with `accepts` array | Verify payment signatures | | Set prices in USD | Convert USD to token amounts | | Choose which tokens to accept | Settle payments on-chain | | Serve your API response | Split fees automatically | | Keep token prices updated | Manage Permit2 and ERC-3009 | | | Provide discovery/bazaar | | | Handle transaction confirmations | *** ## Testing ### On Testnet (Base Sepolia) Use `network: 'eip155:84532'` in your `accepts` array and test with Sepolia tokens. ### On Mainnet Start with low-value endpoints ($0.001) and test with the [x402 SDK](https://www.x402.org): ```javascript import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from '@x402/fetch'; import { ExactEvmScheme } from '@x402/evm/exact/client'; const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, { schemes: [{ x402Version: 2, network: 'eip155:8453', client: new ExactEvmScheme(yourWalletSigner) }] }); const res = await fetchWithPayment('https://your-server.com/api/v1/my-endpoint'); console.log(await res.json()); ``` ### Verify Facilitator Connectivity ```bash # Check the facilitator is reachable curl https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/health # Check supported tokens and current prices curl https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/tokens # Test price conversion curl "https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/convert?usd=0.01&token=BACK" ``` *** ## Troubleshooting | Problem | Solution | | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Client gets 402 but can't pay | Check `accepts` array format — amounts must be strings in base units | | Payment fails with "unsupported token" | Token must be on the facilitator's whitelist (check `/supported/tokens`) | | Wrong amount charged | Verify decimal conversion: `amount = usdPrice * 10^decimals` | | Stale prices for volatile tokens | Refresh prices every 5 minutes, or use the facilitator's `/supported/convert` endpoint | | 402 response cached by CDN | Add `Cache-Control: no-store` header to 402 responses | | Settlement timeout | Check that `maxTimeoutSeconds` is at least 300 | *** ## Need Help? * **Facilitator status:** [facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/health](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/health) * **Supported tokens:** [facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/tokens](https://facilitator.silverbackdefi.app/supported/tokens) * **x402 protocol docs:** [x402.org](https://www.x402.org) * **Community:** [Silverback Discord](https://discord.gg/silverback) # Treasury & Trading How Silverback manages capital and generates returns. *** ## Treasury Overview Silverback maintains an on-chain treasury that: * Provides capital for trading operations * Funds liquidity provision * Generates returns for $BACK holders * Operates transparently on Base *** ## Trading Strategies Silverback employs multiple strategies to generate returns while managing risk. ### Strategy Categories | Strategy | Description | Risk Level | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------- | | Cross-Chain Arbitrage | Exploit price differences between networks | Low | | Liquidity Provision | Earn fees from DEX pools | Low-Medium | | Perpetuals Trading | Systematic futures strategies | Medium | | Liquidity Sweeps | Capture inefficiencies in order books | Medium | ### Strategy Selection The agent selects strategies based on: * Current market conditions * Available opportunities * Risk budget remaining * Portfolio balance Not all strategies are active at all times. Silverback adapts to market conditions. *** ## Risk Management ### Core Principle **Capital preservation comes first.** Silverback would rather miss opportunities than take losses that damage the treasury. ### Position Sizing | Rule | Implementation | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | | Max per trade | 2% of treasury | | Max correlated exposure | Limited | | Diversification | Across strategies and assets | ### Stop Losses Every position has defined exit criteria: * Price-based stops * Time-based stops * Volatility-adjusted stops * Portfolio-level circuit breakers ### Drawdown Management If treasury drawdown exceeds thresholds: 1. Reduce position sizes 2. Pause higher-risk strategies 3. Focus on capital preservation 4. Resume normal operation when recovered *** ## Cross-Chain Arbitrage ### How It Works Operating on both Base and Keeta creates arbitrage opportunities: ``` Price on Base: 1 TOKEN = $100 Price on Keeta: 1 TOKEN = $102 → Buy on Base, sell on Keeta → Capture $2 spread minus fees ``` ### Advantages * **Low risk** — Price discrepancies are factual * **Fast execution** — Keeta's 400ms settlement * **Atomic when possible** — Reduce execution risk * **Consistent returns** — Small but frequent profits *** ## Liquidity Provision ### DEX Liquidity Silverback provides liquidity to its own DEX: * Earns swap fees on trades * Maintains healthy pool depth * Attracts more traders * Creates positive flywheel ### Strategic Positioning * Focus on high-volume pairs * Optimize fee tiers (V3) * Rebalance based on market conditions * Monitor impermanent loss *** ## Perpetuals Trading ### Platform Silverback uses **Avantis** for perpetuals: * Zero fees on profitable trades * Strong backing and liquidity * Base network native * Suitable for systematic strategies ### Approach * Systematic, not discretionary * Defined entry/exit criteria * Strict position limits * No overleveraging ### Risk Controls | Control | Implementation | | ------------- | ------------------------ | | Max leverage | Conservative limits | | Position size | Fraction of treasury | | Stop loss | Always defined | | Correlation | Monitor exposure overlap | *** ## Performance Reporting ### What's Shared * **Treasury balance** — Current value * **Period returns** — Weekly/monthly performance * **Win rate** — Percentage of profitable trades * **Drawdown** — Maximum decline from peak * **Revenue generated** — Contributing to buybacks ### What's Not Shared * Specific positions in real-time * Exact entry/exit prices * Proprietary signal logic * Upcoming trades ### Why This Balance? Full transparency on positions would: * Allow front-running * Eliminate strategy edge * Reduce returns for holders Sharing results without methods provides accountability while maintaining profitability. *** ## Treasury Allocation General allocation framework: | Category | Purpose | | ------------------ | ----------------------------- | | Trading Capital | Active strategy deployment | | Liquidity Reserves | DEX pool provision | | Stable Buffer | Risk management cushion | | Buyback Reserve | Accumulated for distributions | Exact allocations vary based on market conditions and opportunities. *** ## Profit Distribution When trading generates profits: 1. **Profits accumulate** in treasury 2. **Buybacks execute** — Purchase $BACK from market 3. **Staking pool fills** — Tokens added to rewards 4. **Stakers earn** — Distributed proportionally See [Revenue Sharing](/usdback-token/revenue-sharing) for full details. *** ## Track Record Performance metrics will be published regularly once trading operations are fully active. Key metrics to watch: * Cumulative returns * Sharpe ratio (risk-adjusted returns) * Maximum drawdown * Win rate by strategy * Revenue generated for buybacks *** ## FAQ **Is the treasury audited?** Treasury is on-chain and publicly viewable. Third-party audits may be conducted for smart contracts. **What if there are losses?** Losses reduce treasury and buyback capacity but don't create obligations. Risk management limits downside. **Can I see all trades?** Completed trades are visible on-chain. Real-time positions are not disclosed to protect strategy edge. **How conservative is the trading?** Very. 2% max per trade, diversified strategies, strict stops. Preservation over aggression. # sbUSDC Yield Vault Silverback's ERC-4626 tokenized yield vault that automatically generates yield on your USDC deposits through DeFi lending protocols. ## Overview sbUSDC is a yield-bearing token. When you deposit USDC, you receive sbUSDC shares. As yield accrues from lending markets, your shares become worth more USDC - no action required. **Key Features:** * Automatic yield generation (5-10% APY) * Non-custodial - your funds stay in smart contracts * Withdraw anytime * Built on Morpho Blue lending protocol ## How It Works ### User Flow ``` 1. DEPOSIT: User USDC ──► sbUSDC Vault ──► Strategy ──► Morpho Blue │ │ ▼ ▼ Mint sbUSDC Supply to lending market shares to user (borrowers pay interest) 2. YIELD ACCRUAL (happens automatically): Morpho Blue ──► Interest accrues ──► Strategy balance grows │ ▼ sbUSDC share price increases (totalAssets grows, supply stays same) 3. WITHDRAW: User burns ──► sbUSDC Vault ──► Strategy ──► Morpho Blue sbUSDC │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ Calculate Withdraw Return USDC assets owed from Morpho + earned interest ``` ### Architecture ``` ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SILVERBACK CONTRACTS │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ┌──────────────┐ ┌────────────────────┐ │ │ │ sbUSDC │ │ SilverbackStrategy │ │ │ │ Vault │◄───────►│ │ │ │ │ │ │ - deposit() │ │ │ │ ERC-4626 │ │ - withdraw() │ │ │ │ - deposit() │ │ - balanceOf() │ │ │ │ - withdraw() │ │ │ │ │ │ - redeem() │ │ (uses Morpho) │ │ │ └──────────────┘ └─────────┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────── ┼─────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ MORPHO BLUE (External) │ │ 0xBBBBBbbBBb9cC5e90e3b3Af64bdAF62C37EEFFCb │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Lending Markets │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ cbBTC/USDC Market │ Borrowers deposit cbBTC collateral │ │ │ │ ───────────────── │ borrow USDC, pay ~8% interest │ │ │ │ Our USDC goes here ──►│ │ │ │ │ │ Interest paid ──► grows our balance │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ WETH/USDC Market │ Similar - ETH collateral │ │ │ │ wstETH/USDC Market │ Similar - staked ETH collateral │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ Interest Rate Model: │ │ - Low utilization → ~2-3% borrow rate │ │ - High utilization → ~10-15% borrow rate │ │ - Supply APY = Borrow Rate × Utilization │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Where Does Yield Come From? The yield comes from **borrowers paying interest** on Morpho Blue lending markets: 1. **Borrowers** deposit collateral (cbBTC, WETH, etc.) and borrow USDC 2. **Borrowers pay interest** on their loans (5-15% APY depending on utilization) 3. **Interest flows to suppliers** (the sbUSDC vault) 4. **Share price increases** as total assets grow ### Expected Returns | Market Conditions | Typical APY | | ----------------- | ----------- | | Low utilization | 3-5% | | Normal | 5-8% | | High demand | 8-12% | *APY varies based on market conditions and borrower demand* ## How Share Price Works The key insight is that **shares stay constant, but their value grows**: ``` Initial State: - You deposit: 1000 USDC - You receive: 1000 sbUSDC shares - Share price: 1.00 USDC per share After 1 Year (6% APY): - Your shares: 1000 sbUSDC (unchanged) - Total assets: 1060 USDC (grew from interest) - Share price: 1.06 USDC per share - Your value: 1000 × 1.06 = 1060 USDC ``` ### Calculating Your Balance ``` your_usdc_value = your_sbUSDC_shares × share_price share_price = total_assets / total_supply ``` ## Contract Addresses ### Base Mainnet (Production) | Contract | Address | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | sbUSDC Vault | [`0x9d520e2b373588917B083E75A425A48b69dFC06a`](https://basescan.org/address/0x9d520e2b373588917B083E75A425A48b69dFC06a) | | SilverbackStrategy | [`0x50E2FEeE58Ecf30373c78aB90754604022d03C4c`](https://basescan.org/address/0x50E2FEeE58Ecf30373c78aB90754604022d03C4c) | | USDC | [`0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`](https://basescan.org/address/0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) | | Morpho Blue | [`0xBBBBBbbBBb9cC5e90e3b3Af64bdAF62C37EEFFCb`](https://basescan.org/address/0xBBBBBbbBBb9cC5e90e3b3Af64bdAF62C37EEFFCb) | **Market ID (cbBTC/USDC):** `0x9103c3b4e834476c9a62ea009ba2c884ee42e94e6e314a26f04d312434191836` ## Using sbUSDC ### Deposit USDC ```javascript // 1. Approve vault to spend USDC await usdc.approve(VAULT_ADDRESS, amount); // 2. Deposit USDC, receive sbUSDC const shares = await vault.deposit(amount, yourAddress); ``` ### Check Your Balance ```javascript const shares = await vault.balanceOf(yourAddress); const usdcValue = await vault.convertToAssets(shares); const sharePrice = await vault.sharePrice(); console.log('sbUSDC shares:', shares); console.log('Worth in USDC:', usdcValue); console.log('Share price:', sharePrice); // 1e6 = $1.00 ``` ### Withdraw ```javascript // Redeem all shares for USDC + yield const shares = await vault.balanceOf(yourAddress); const usdcReceived = await vault.redeem(shares, yourAddress, yourAddress); ``` ## Security ### Non-Custodial * All funds are held in smart contracts on-chain * No centralized party can access your funds * You can withdraw anytime (subject to liquidity) ### Risks | Risk | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Smart Contract | Bugs in sbUSDC, Strategy, or Morpho contracts | | Liquidity | If all USDC is lent out, withdrawals may be delayed | | Market | APY fluctuates based on market conditions | | Oracle | Morpho relies on price oracles for collateral valuation | ### Audits * **Morpho Blue**: Audited by Spearbit, Trail of Bits, Cantina * **sbUSDC Vault**: Pending external audit ### Test Coverage The sbUSDC vault has comprehensive test coverage: | Category | Tests | Status | | ----------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------- | | Vault Core (deposits, withdrawals, yield) | 23 | Passing | | Security & Edge Cases | 15 | Passing | | **Total** | **38** | **All Passing** | **Security tests include:** * Reentrancy protection * Share price manipulation resistance * Allowance/approval checks * Zero value edge cases * Large value handling (overflow protection) * Multiple deposit/withdraw cycles * Strategy interaction safety ## FAQ ### How often does yield accrue? Yield accrues continuously, every block. The share price updates in real-time. ### Is there a minimum deposit? No minimum, but gas costs may make very small deposits inefficient. ### Can I lose money? Principal is generally safe unless there's a smart contract exploit. Yield can fluctuate but principal is protected by over-collateralized loans. ### How do I track my earnings? Compare your current `convertToAssets(balance)` to your original deposit. The difference is your earned yield. # Overview Get help with Silverback DEX. *** ## Quick Help Having an issue?

Your wallet address 2. Transaction hash (if applicable) 3. Network you were using (Base/Keeta) 4. Description of what you were trying to do 5. Any error messages received # Troubleshooting Solutions to common issues on Silverback DEX. *** ## Transaction Failed ### Symptoms * Transaction reverts * Error message in wallet * Swap doesn't complete ### Common Causes & Solutions **Insufficient Gas** * Ensure you have enough ETH (Base) or KTA (Keeta) for fees * Base transactions typically need \~$0.01-0.10 in ETH **Slippage Too Low** * Click the gear icon ⚙️ * Increase slippage tolerance (try 1-3%) * For volatile tokens, you may need 5%+ **Token Approval Needed** * First time trading a token requires approval * Look for "Approve" button before "Swap" * This is a separate transaction **Price Moved** * The price changed between quote and execution * Increase slippage tolerance * Try again — prices update in real-time **Insufficient Balance** * Verify you have enough of the input token * Remember to keep some ETH/KTA for gas *** ## Swap Issues ### "Insufficient Liquidity" **Problem:** Not enough tokens in the pool for your trade. **Solutions:** * Reduce your swap amount * Try a different trading pair * On Keeta: Check Anchor page for alternative pools * Split into multiple smaller trades ### "Price Impact Too High" **Problem:** Your trade is large relative to pool liquidity. | Price Impact | Recommendation | | ------------ | -------------------------- | | 1-3% | Acceptable for most trades | | 3-5% | Consider reducing size | | 5-10% | Split into multiple trades | | >10% | Find more liquid pair | **Solutions:** * Reduce trade size * Route through intermediate tokens * Wait for more liquidity * Use a different pool ### "Rate Expired" **Problem:** Quote is no longer valid. **Solution:** Click to refresh the quote and try again. *** ## Wallet Issues ### Wallet Not Connecting **MetaMask / Web3 Wallets:** 1. Refresh the page 2. Make sure wallet is unlocked 3. Check you're on the correct network 4. Try disconnecting and reconnecting 5. Clear browser cache if issues persist **Keythings (Keeta):** 1. Ensure extension is installed 2. Access DEX at `localhost:3000` (required) 3. Check extension is enabled in browser 4. Refresh the page 5. Verify wallet is unlocked ### Wrong Network **Symptoms:** Tokens not showing, transactions fail **Solution:** 1. Check network dropdown in top nav 2. Switch to correct network (Base or Keeta) 3. Ensure wallet is on same network 4. For Base: Add network if needed (Chain ID: 8453) ### Connection Keeps Dropping **Solutions:** * Update your wallet extension * Disable other browser extensions temporarily * Try a different browser * Clear wallet cache/activity data *** ## Liquidity Issues ### Can't Add Liquidity **"Insufficient Balance"** * Verify you have both tokens * You need equal *value* of each token **"Approve Token"** * Approve each token before adding liquidity * Two approval transactions needed (one per token) ### Can't Remove Liquidity **"No Position Found"** * Make sure you're on the correct network * Check Portfolio page for your positions * Verify wallet is connected **LP Tokens Missing** * LP tokens may be in a different wallet * Check you didn't transfer them * Contact support if tokens are genuinely missing *** ## Anchor Pool Issues (Keeta) ### Pool Creation Failed **Common Causes:** * Pool already exists for this pair * Insufficient token balance * Not enough KTA for fees (need 3-5 KTA) **Solutions:** * Check "My Anchors" for existing pools * Verify both token balances * Ensure adequate KTA for transactions ### LP Tokens Not Received **Problem:** Pool created but LP tokens didn't arrive. **Solutions:** 1. Wait a moment — may take time to process 2. Refresh the page 3. Check your wallet for the LP token 4. If still missing, contact support with transaction hash ### Pool Not Showing in Aggregator **Possible Causes:** * Pool is paused * Indexing delay (wait a few minutes) * Pool has zero liquidity **Solutions:** * Check pool status in "My Anchors" * Ensure pool is active (not paused) * Verify liquidity is deposited *** ## Performance Issues ### Slow Loading * Check your internet connection * Try refreshing the page * Clear browser cache * Disable unnecessary browser extensions ### Charts Not Loading * Refresh the page * Wait a moment — data may be loading * Try a different browser ### Stuck Transactions **On Base:** 1. Check BaseScan for transaction status 2. If pending long, may need to speed up or cancel in wallet 3. MetaMask: Settings → Advanced → Reset Account (clears pending) **On Keeta:** * Keeta transactions are fast (\~400ms) * If stuck, refresh and check transaction history * Contact support if genuinely stuck *** ## Still Need Help?

Silverback is a dual-network decentralized exchange supporting Base (Ethereum L2) and Keeta (high-speed DAG blockchain). It features AMM pools, FX anchor trading, and is powered by an autonomous AI trading agent. ### What makes Silverback different? Unlike other AI agents that just provide commentary, Silverback *operates* actual trading infrastructure: * Runs a live DEX * Trades with real capital * Shares profits with token holders * Proves expertise through results, not claims ### Which network should I use? **Base** is best for: * Trading popular ERC-20 tokens * Accessing deep liquidity * Users already in the Ethereum ecosystem **Keeta** is best for: * Fast transactions (400ms settlement) * Lower fees * Creating custom liquidity pools with your own fee rates ### Is Silverback safe to use? Silverback is non-custodial — you maintain full control of your funds. The smart contracts follow battle-tested Uniswap V2 standards. However, as with all DeFi: * Never invest more than you can afford to lose * Understand risks like impermanent loss * Always verify contract addresses ### Does Silverback custody my funds? No. This is a fully non-custodial DEX. Your tokens remain in your wallet until you execute a swap, and liquidity can be withdrawn anytime. *** ## Trading & Fees ### What are the trading fees? | Type | Fee | Goes To | | ------------ | ----------- | ------------------- | | AMM Swaps | 0.3% | Liquidity Providers | | Anchor Swaps | 0.01% - 10% | Pool Creator | | Gas | Variable | Network validators | ### What is slippage tolerance? The maximum price change you'll accept between submitting a transaction and it executing. If price moves more than your tolerance, the transaction fails, protecting you from bad fills. Recommended settings: * Stable pairs: 0.1% * Normal pairs: 0.5% * Volatile tokens: 1-3% ### Why do I need to approve tokens? ERC-20 tokens require you to grant permission before a smart contract can spend them. This is a security feature. You only need to approve once per token per contract. *** ## Liquidity ### What are LP tokens? LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens represent your share of a liquidity pool. They: * Prove your deposit * Entitle you to accumulated fees * Can be redeemed to withdraw liquidity * Should be kept safe like any crypto asset ### How do I earn fees as a liquidity provider? When traders swap through a pool, a 0.3% fee is collected. This fee is automatically added to the pool. When you withdraw, you receive your proportional share of all accumulated fees. ### What is impermanent loss? A temporary loss that occurs when token prices change from when you deposited. If you withdraw when prices have diverged significantly, you may have less value than if you just held the tokens. Key points: * Called "impermanent" because it reverses if prices return to original ratio * Trading fees can offset impermanent loss * More volatile pairs have higher IL risk ### Can I remove liquidity anytime? Yes! Liquidity is never locked. Withdraw whenever you want and receive tokens proportional to your pool share. *** ## Anchor Pools (Keeta) ### What's the difference between AMM pools and Anchor pools? | Feature | AMM Pools | Anchor Pools | | ----------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | Fee | Fixed 0.3% | Custom 0.01%-10% | | Creator | Anyone | Anyone | | Competition | Within pool | Against all anchors | | Network | Base & Keeta | Keeta only | ### How do I make money with anchor pools? Earn fees when swaps are routed through your pool. The Anchor page automatically selects the best rate, so competitive fees and good liquidity attract more volume. ### What fee should I set? Check existing pools for your token pair. Common strategies: * 10-20 bps — Aggressive volume play * 30 bps — Standard, competitive * 50-100 bps — Higher margin, less volume ### Can I have multiple anchor pools? Yes! Create one pool per token pair. You cannot have two pools for the same pair from the same wallet. ### Can others provide liquidity to my pool? Not currently. Each user creates and manages their own anchor pools independently. *** ## $BACK Token ### What is $BACK? $BACK is the native token of the Silverback ecosystem, launched through Virtuals Protocol. It provides: * Revenue sharing from DEX operations and trading * Staking rewards * Governance participation ### How do I earn with $BACK? Stake $BACK to receive a share of protocol revenue. Revenue from DEX fees and AI trading profits is used to buy back $BACK, which fills the staking reward pool. ### Is there token inflation? No. $BACK doesn't mint new tokens for rewards. Instead, real revenue funds buybacks that distribute existing tokens. This creates sustainable yield without dilution. ### Where can I buy $BACK? $BACK launches on Virtuals Protocol. After launch, it will be tradeable on Silverback DEX and potentially other platforms. *** ## Technical ### What wallets are supported? **Base Network:** * MetaMask * Coinbase Wallet * WalletConnect (300+ wallets) * Rainbow * And more **Keeta Network:** * Keythings (required) ### What are the contract addresses? See [Contract Addresses](/resources/contract-addresses) for all verified contracts. ## Security ### Has Silverback been audited? We conducted comprehensive pre-mainnet testing on Base Sepolia with 100+ automated tests, including edge cases like tax tokens and reentrancy attacks. All contracts are verified on Basescan and include built-in protections like reentrancy guards, deadline checks, and slippage protection. While we haven't undergone an independent security audit, our foundation is the most proven AMM design in DeFi history. Use at your own risk, \ as with all smart contract protocols. ### What if I lose my LP tokens? LP tokens are like any crypto asset. Losing them means losing access to your liquidity. Always: * Back up your wallet recovery phrase * Don't share private keys * Keep LP tokens secure ### How do I verify I'm on the real site? * Official domain: silverbackdefi.app * Always bookmark official links * Verify contract addresses before interacting * Never click links from unknown sources *** ## Need More Help? * **Discord**: Coming soon * **Twitter**: [@SilverbackDefi](https://x.com/SilverbackDefi) * **GitHub**: Open soon # Overview Additional resources for the Silverback ecosystem. *** ## Quick Links | Resource | Link | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | DEX App | [silverbackdefi.app](https://silverbackdefi.app) | | X | [@SilverbackDefi](https://x.com/SilverbackDefi) | | Base Network | [base.org](https://base.org) | | Keeta Network | [docs.keeta.com](https://docs.keeta.com) | | Keythings Wallet | [keythings.xyz](https://keythings.xyz) | | Virtuals Protocol | [virtuals.io](https://virtuals.io) | *** ## In This Section | Page | Description | | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | [Contract Addresses](/resources/contract-addresses) | Verified smart contract addresses | | [Community Links](/resources/community-links) | Social channels and community | # Contract Addresses Verified smart contract addresses for Silverback. *** ## ⚠️ Security Notice **Always verify contract addresses before interacting.** * Only use addresses from this official documentation * Never trust addresses shared in DMs or unofficial channels * Bookmark this page for reference *** ## Base Network ### $BACK Token
