Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Short answers to the most common questions.
Are my funds safe with BaniPool?
BaniPool never holds your funds: assets stay in your wallet or in protocol contracts (pools, vaults) in your name. Remaining risks are smart-contract risk (third-party protocols and BaniPool contracts that have only been reviewed internally), market risk (impermanent loss, slippage) and token risk. Start with small amounts.
What if the BaniPool site is down?
Your funds remain accessible directly through the protocol contracts on the blockchain (for example the official Uniswap interface or a block explorer). Automation pauses until the service recovers; keeper permissions can be revoked directly on the contract.
Why was my transaction rejected or failed?
- Simulation failed: the price moved beyond slippage, the balance or approval is insufficient, or the amount is too small. Create a new quote.
- Quote expired: quotes are valid for a few minutes; request again before signing.
- Price impact above 5% is only allowed with Expert Mode.
- The network is having issues: check
/status; transactions are paused for safety.
How do I revoke approvals?
NFT approvals to the Zap and keeper contracts can be revoked from the position page and the keeper panel at /automation. ERC-20 approvals created by BaniPool are always for the transaction amount, so they are used up; you can also check them with tools such as revoke.cash.
What data is stored about me?
Your wallet address at login, watchlist, preferences, automation rules and the history of transactions made through BaniPool. Email only if you link it for notifications. Visit statistics do not use tracking cookies. Delete your data any time via /settings (or DELETE /v1/me/data). Details in the Privacy Policy.
Have BaniPool contracts been audited?
Not yet by a third party. The contracts have been reviewed internally, tested automatically (locally and on mainnet forks) and tested with real transactions; their addresses and bytecode are verified on-chain (see the Smart contracts page). A third-party audit is planned.
What does the "scam token detected on BaniPool" warning mean?
The token was graded F by the automated security checks (e.g. cannot be sold, very high tax, impersonating an official asset, a serial token-launcher creator, or almost all volume from bots), so it was added to the BaniPool blacklist. Do not buy, provide liquidity or approve that token. The rating is updated when the token is re-checked; contact the admin if you believe it is wrong.
Why are my position fees small when the coin volume is large?
Routers (e.g. Jupiter) split every swap across all pools by liquidity depth. Your fees are proportional to your share of liquidity at the active price, not the coin total volume. Choose a competitive fee (see the Fee Advisor), narrow the range (use Automation) or add capital.
Why does Phantom show "Request blocked"?
The Phantom scanner sometimes flags new domains as risky before looking at the transaction. BaniPool transactions are still simulated and you can review them in the wallet balance preview. Alternatively use Solflare or Backpack.
Where do I report a problem?
Use the contact email on the Terms of Use page. For security reports, do not disclose vulnerability details publicly before they are fixed.
