Getting Started

Step 1: Create or Import Your Wallet

Send /start to the bot. You can either generate a fresh wallet on Ink (L2) or import an existing private key — including one you already use on Nado — so your positions and balances carry over. New wallets receive a small ETH airdrop for gas fees.

Step 2: Fund Your Wallet

Bridge USDT0 to the wallet address the bot gave you.

Testnet users can also get free USDT0 from the Nado Faucet at testnet.nado.xyz/portfolio/faucet. The bot will notify you automatically when USDT0 arrives in your wallet.

Step 3: Deposit to Trading Account

Run /deposit and choose an amount (or "Deposit All"). Your funds move from your wallet into your Nado trading subaccount. Funds are available in ~10 seconds.

Step 4: Start Trading

You're ready. See Trading Commands below.

Trading Commands

All trading commands work only in DMs with the bot (not in group chats).

/long — Open a Long (Market)

/long <symbol> <leverage> <margin>

Examples:
/long BTC 10x $100          → 10x long on BTC with $100 margin
/long ETH 5x $50            → 5x long on ETH with $50 margin
/long BTC 10x $100 isolated → Same but with isolated margin

/short — Open a Short (Market)

Works exactly like /long but opens a short position.

/short BTC 10x $100
/short ETH 20x $200 isolated

/limit — Place a Limit Order

Places a Good-Till-Cancel order that expires in 7 days.

/limit <side> <symbol> <leverage> <margin> @<price>

Examples:
/limit long BTC 10x $100 @94000    → Buy BTC at $94,000
/limit short ETH 5x $50 @4000     → Short ETH at $4,000

Closing Positions

/close — Close a Position (Market)

/close <symbol>              → Close entire position
/close <symbol> <percent>    → Close a percentage (e.g., 50%)
/close <symbol> <size>       → Close exact size (e.g., 0.005)
/close all                   → Close ALL open positions

/limitclose — Limit Close Order

Places a reduce-only limit order (7-day expiry).

/limitclose <symbol> <amount> @<price>

Examples:
/limitclose BTC 50% @100000        → Close 50% of BTC at $100k
/limitclose ETH 0.5 @4000         → Close 0.5 ETH at $4,000

Margin Modes

• Cross (default) — All positions share the same margin pool. Higher capital efficiency but risk of cascading liquidations.
• Isolated — Each position has its own isolated margin. Losses limited to the margin assigned.

Add isolated at the end of any open command to use isolated margin. Change the default in /settings.

Position Management

/positions (aliases: /pos, /p)

View all open positions with real-time data:

• Size — Position size in base currency
• Entry Price — Average entry price
• Mark Price — Current oracle price
• PnL — Unrealized profit/loss ($ and %)
• Leverage — Current effective leverage
• Liquidation Price — Estimated liquidation threshold

Quick-action buttons appear below each position: Close 25% / Close 50% / Close 100%, Set TP, and Set SL.

/orders

View all open limit orders (pending fills).

/cancel

/cancel <symbol>             → Cancel all limit orders for a symbol
/cancel all                  → Cancel all open limit orders

Take Profit & Stop Loss

Protect your positions with automated triggers. All triggers expire after 30 days.

/tp — Set Take Profit

/tp <symbol> <price>

Example: /tp BTC 100000 — Take profit when BTC hits $100,000

/sl — Set Stop Loss

/sl <symbol> <price>

Example: /sl BTC 90000 — Stop loss when BTC drops to $90,000

/tpsl — Set Both at Once

/tpsl <symbol> <tp_price> <sl_price>

Example: /tpsl BTC 100000 90000 — TP at $100k, SL at $90k

/triggers (alias: /trig)

View all active trigger orders (TP/SL).

/canceltriggers

/canceltriggers <symbol>     → Cancel all triggers for a symbol

How Triggers Work

• Triggers monitor the oracle price (not mark price)
• Long TP: Triggers when price goes above your target
• Long SL: Triggers when price goes below your target
• Short TP/SL: Opposite logic
• TP slippage: 0.5% (tight, since price is favorable)
• SL slippage: 3.0% (wider, to ensure fill in volatile conditions)
• Triggers are reduce-only — they can only close, not open positions

Market Data

/markets

List all available perpetual futures markets with current prices.

/price

Returns bid/ask, mid price, mark (oracle) price, and open interest.

/price <symbol>

Example: /price BTC

/funding

View current funding rates for all markets.

• Positive rate — Longs pay shorts
• Negative rate — Shorts pay longs

Rates displayed as %/hour, sorted by absolute value.

Account & Balance

/balance (aliases: /bal, /b)

• Wallet Balance — USDT0 sitting in your bot wallet (on-chain)
• Equity — Total trading account value (including unrealized PnL)
• Available Margin — Free margin for new positions
• Used Margin — Margin locked in open positions

/deposit

Move USDT0 from your wallet into your trading account. Options: Deposit All, $50 quick deposit, or enter a custom amount. Funds are available in ~10 seconds after confirmation.

/withdraw

/withdraw <amount>           → Withdraw specific amount
/withdraw all                → Withdraw maximum available

• Minimum withdrawal: 5 USDT0
• Only withdraws up to your available (free) margin — won't affect open positions
• Funds return to your bot wallet address

Settings

Use /settings to adjust your trading preferences. These defaults apply when you don't specify them in a command — you can always override per-trade.

Rewards (DRIP)

Use /drip (alias /rewards) to view your DRIP rewards earned from trading.

• Earn 0.1 DRIP per $1 of trading volume (notional)
• Volume = price x size for every trade executed
• DRIP accumulates automatically — no claiming needed
• DRIP will be used to mint VOID, Blot's fee-capture token

Wallet & Security

Your Wallet

• Generate a new wallet or import an existing one (including wallets already used on Nado)
• Imported wallets retain all existing positions and balances
• Gas (ETH) is provided automatically for new wallets

/export — Export Private Key

Reveals your wallet's private key for backup. Requires confirmation before showing. The key is displayed for 30 seconds then auto-deleted.

Importing an Existing Wallet

You can import any existing Ink wallet into Blot Bot by providing your private key. This is especially useful if you already trade on Nado — your positions, balances, and subaccount carry over immediately. Import is available during /start or at any time through the bot settings.

Security Model

• Private keys encrypted with AES-256-GCM (development) or AWS KMS (production)
• Keys are NEVER stored in plaintext
• All sensitive commands work only in private DMs
• Per-user command locking prevents race conditions
• Circuit breaker protects against cascading failures

Supported Markets

All markets are perpetual futures collateralized with USDT0. Use /markets to see the latest available markets — new pairs may be added at any time.

FAQ

Is my wallet safe?

Yes. Your private key is encrypted with military-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM or AWS KMS) and never stored in plaintext. Only you can access it via /export.

Can I see my positions on blot.wtf?

Yes. If you imported your existing wallet, your positions are already visible on blot.wtf. If you created a new wallet, export the key with /export and import it into a browser wallet like MetaMask or Rabby — then connect to blot.wtf to see the same positions and balances.

What is USDT0?

USDT0 is the stablecoin used as collateral on Nado DEX (Ink chain). It's pegged 1:1 to USD. Bridge it from other chains using the links in the Getting Started section above.

What happens if I get liquidated?

If your position's margin drops below the maintenance requirement, it will be automatically liquidated by the protocol. You'll receive a notification from the bot. To avoid liquidation, use stop losses and manage your leverage.

Can I use the bot in group chats?

Only non-sensitive commands like /price, /markets, and /funding work in groups. All trading and account commands require private DMs for security.

What is the DRIP reward?

DRIP is earned automatically as you trade (0.1 DRIP per $1 volume). It will be used to mint VOID, Blot's fee-capture token. Check your balance with /drip.

How do I withdraw to my personal wallet?

• /withdraw all — moves USDT0 from trading account to bot wallet
• Use /export to get your private key
• Import the key into a wallet app (e.g., MetaMask) to send funds wherever you want

What chain is this on?

Ink — an L2 rollup. Block explorer: explorer.inkonchain.com

What are funding rates?

Funding rates are periodic payments between longs and shorts to keep the perpetual price anchored to spot. Positive rates mean longs pay shorts; negative means shorts pay longs. Check with /funding.
