What do I need to start investing?
To start investing you need to meet three requirements:
- Have your Airtm account verified.
- Have at least 5 USDC available in your balance.
- Read and accept the risks associated with the product.
Once done, go to the investment section, choose the amount, and confirm the operation.
How much can I invest and how often?
- Maximum amount: limited by your verification level on Airtm (same limits as withdrawals).
- Frequency: you can invest multiple times — there's no limit on individual operations.
- Volume: limits apply to total volume moved (daily/monthly) based on your verification level.
To increase your investment capacity, upgrade your verification level on Airtm.
What risks exist when investing in DeFi?
It's important to understand the risks before investing:
Smart Contract Risk
If a hacker exploits a vulnerability in the protocol's code, there could be a loss of funds. To mitigate this, the protocol undergoes rigorous audits. View audits →
Price Oracle Failure
If the oracle reports incorrect prices, it could generate losses. Oracles are also audited.
USDC Volatility
There's a small possibility that USDC loses its peg to the dollar. This is a risk external to the protocol.
