# FAQ

### What is Rayze?

Rayze enables traders to launch fully investable funds in minutes - allowing others to back their conviction with real capital and traders to monetize their edge. Funds have direct access to leading venues like Hyperliquid, Polymarket, and Aave, plus every token onchain.

### How do funds work?

A fund is an onchain entity with its own treasury, governance, and execution layer. An operator creates the fund, sets its rules, and trades from the fund treasury. Contributors deposit USDC, receive SHARES representing their proportional ownership, and can monitor every trade in real time. All fund activity is recorded onchain.

### Who controls my money?

You do. Fund capital is held in a Safe multisig - not by Rayze, not by the operator personally. Admins have execution authority to trade on behalf of the fund, but they cannot withdraw capital to their own wallet. Rayze has no signing authority over any fund treasury. You retain ownership of your proportional share from deposit to withdrawal.

### What are the fees?

Rayze charges two platform fees: 25 basis points on every trade executed through the fund, and 1% on capital withdrawn from the fund treasury. Fund operators may also set their own management and performance fees, which are visible on the fund's profile before you deposit.

### Why Rayze?

Every trade, position, and withdrawal is recorded onchain. You do not rely on self-reported numbers or quarterly statements. Fund rules are enforced by smart contracts - allocation limits, drawdown thresholds, and governance parameters cannot be overridden by the operator. Capital is non-custodial by design.

### How do I start?

**As a contributor** - Create a wallet, deposit USDC, and request to join a fund. Your deposit enters the Limbo Vault while the fund reviews your request. If accepted, you become a member with full visibility into the fund.

**As an operator** - Apply to Cohort 01 at [rayze.io/cohort-01](https://rayze.io/cohort-01). Once accepted, create your fund, configure its rules, seed it with capital, and start trading.
