đ How Zap Pilot Works
đ§ The Core Mechanismâ
Zap Pilot is a Sentiment-Driven Portfolio Autopilot. We use the Fear & Greed Index to automatically determine how much of your portfolio should be in Crypto (BTC/ETH) vs. Stablecoins.
Key Principlesâ
- Buy Fear: When the market is scared, we increase crypto allocation.
- Defend Greed: When the market is euphoric, we take profits into stables.
- Non-Custodial: You sign every move. We never hold your funds.
1ī¸âŖ Connect & Depositâ
You connect your wallet (Metamask, etc.) and deposit funds. Instead of picking a random strategy, you are opting into our Regime-Based Model.
2ī¸âŖ The Regimesâ
Your funds are allocated based on the 5 Market Regimes:
| Regime | Indicator | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Extreme Fear | đ´ FGI < 25 | 70% Crypto / 30% Stable |
| Fear | đ FGI 25-45 | 60% Crypto / 40% Stable |
| Neutral | đĄ FGI 46-54 | 50% Crypto / 50% Stable |
| Greed | đĸ FGI 55-75 | 40% Crypto / 60% Stable |
| Extreme Greed | đŠ FGI > 75 | 30% Crypto / 70% Stable |

3ī¸âŖ đ Kelly Allocationâ
To optimize which specific protocols we use (e.g., Aave vs. Compound for stables, or Uniswap vs. Curve for LP), we use the Kelly Criterion. This ensures we maximize yield while minimizing smart contract risk.

4ī¸âŖ âģī¸ Rebalancing (User-Driven)â
When the market regime shifts (e.g., Fear â Neutral), we generate a Rebalance Proposal.
- Notification: You get an alert (Email/Calendar).
- Execution: You click "Rebalance" on the Zap Pilot dashboard.
- Gradual Execution: Logic splits the trade over 5-10 days to minimize slippage and timing risk.
đ Security & Transparencyâ
- Non-Custodial: Your funds always remain in your wallet.
- On-Chain Execution: All transactions are transparent.
- User-Controlled: You approve every move.
