Non-Custodial Philosophy

Trust is the foundation of any decentralized financial application. At PolyOrbit, we adhere to a strict Non-Custodial Philosophy. This means that PolyOrbit never takes possession of your assets, private keys, or withdrawal permissions.

Defining Non-Custodial

In a traditional centralized exchange (CEX), you deposit funds into a wallet owned by the company. If that company fails, your funds are at risk.

In PolyOrbit's non-custodial architecture, your funds remain on the blockchain, secured by your own private key or within the audited smart contracts of the Polymarket protocol. PolyOrbit acts only as an interface and an automation engine, not a bank.

How Assets Are Managed

1. USDC Holdings: Your stablecoins remain in your personal Web3 wallet (e.g., Phantom or MetaMask) or the Polymarket Proxy Contract associated with your address.

2. Market Positions: Shares purchased through PolyOrbit are tokenized assets held in your account. You can view, trade, or transfer these shares via any other interface (such as the official Polymarket website) at any time.

3. No Deposit Required: You do not "deposit" money into PolyOrbit. Instead, you grant the application permission to route orders to the Polymarket Exchange on your behalf.

The "Can't Be Evil" Standard

Because we do not hold user funds, we cannot freeze your account, confiscate your assets, or prevent you from withdrawing your capital. Even if the PolyOrbit website goes offline, your funds and positions remain accessible directly through the Polygon blockchain explorers or the Polymarket interface.
