# FAQ

## Getting started

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What does it cost to use Dequan?">
    Scout is the default tier and it is free. You pay only the platform fee on trades you make (transparent, surfaced per-trade) plus standard Solana priority fees. There is no subscription, no minimum, no funding requirement to access features.

    Sniper and Apex are invite-only paid tiers with reduced fees and higher limits. See [Tiers Overview](/tiers/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to fund a Lightning Wallet to use Dequan?">
    No, but it is highly recommended! See [Non-Custodial First](/safety/non-custodial-first) and [Lightning Wallet](/execution/lightning-wallet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which wallets work with Dequan?">
    Any Solana wallet with standard Sign-In-with-Solana support: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Glow, OKX Wallet, hardware wallets (Ledger via supported wallet apps), and others. If your wallet supports the standard, Dequan supports it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Dequan available on mobile?">
    Yes, but only for selling tokens in holdings. The full app runs on any desktop because it is too difficult to spot micro movements on a small screen.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to sign up?">
    You connect a wallet. That's it. No email, no KYC, no password. Sign-in is a one-time signed challenge from your wallet (see [Key Handling](/safety/key-handling)).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## The platform

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the Pump Zone, in one sentence?">
    A live spatial map of every active Solana meme token, where horizontal position is market cap and vertical position is real-time momentum — letting you read the entire market by formation rather than scrolling a list. See [Pump Zone Overview](/pump-zone/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is Dequan different from other Solana sniper tools?">
    Three structural differences:

    1. **Spatial discovery** (Pump Zone) instead of list scrolling.
    2. **Pre-execution warmup** — the trade is being prepared the moment you open a chart, not when you click buy.
    3. **Parallel landing** — every trade is broadcast across multiple paths simultaneously.

    See [What Makes Dequan Different](/what-makes-dequan-different).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Dequan support tokens on chains other than Solana?">
    No. Dequan is Solana-native. We focus on doing one chain extremely well rather than spreading across many.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Dequan work for non-meme trading?">
    Yes. The platform works for any Solana token — major assets included. The Pump Zone is most valuable for meme/launch tokens because that's where momentum-spotting matters most, but the chart suite, execution pipeline, and safety features apply equally to any token.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I have to use the Pump Zone, or can I just use a list view?">
    The [Sniper List](/pump-zone/sniper-list-vs-pump-zone) is a dense ranked-list alternative if you prefer it. The Sniper List mimics older original methods for trading which suck, but we've added ranking and meaningful background colors and effects to give it more of an edge for finding good tokens. It's there if you like looking at lists, but we highly recommend using the Pump Zone. Once you see how easy it is to spot good tokens, you'll never go back.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Safety and custody

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Dequan custodial?">
    By default, no. Your main wallet signs every trade and your private key never enters Dequan's systems. Lightning Wallet is an optional, sandboxed custodial wallet you can fund (and withdraw from) at will. See [Non-Custodial First](/safety/non-custodial-first).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my funds if Dequan goes down?">
    Funds in your main wallet are unaffected — those keys are yours. Funds in Lightning Wallet remain on-chain at your Lightning address; if our app is unreachable, the platform team has documented procedures to release them, and a key-recovery process is part of operational continuity planning.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does Dequan catch honeypots?">
    Live simulation against on-chain pool state, run on chart-open. If a token is unsellable, the simulation fails and the buy panel is disabled with a warning. See [Honeypot Guard](/safety/honeypot-guard).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if a token rugs while I'm holding it?">
    The [Liquidity Drain Detection](/safety/liquidity-drain-detection) system watches the underlying pool's reserves and fires an alert (with one-tap exit) the moment a drain begins, often before the price feed has fully repriced.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can Dequan front-run my trades?">
    No. Dequan does not run a sequencer, does not have privileged ordering rights, and does not see trades before they are submitted. Your transactions go through the same Solana network as everyone else's, and the platform's submission paths are diverse public infrastructure, not a private chokepoint.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Execution

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How fast is Dequan, actually?">
    Under normal network conditions, broadcast-to-confirmation is well under a second on most retail trades. The full breakdown is recorded for every trade you make — see [Latency Transparency](/reliability/latency-transparency). We don't expect you to trust the claim; we expect you to check the data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does my Lightning Wallet trade feel faster than my main-wallet trade?">
    Because the signing step on Lightning is server-side and instant, while main-wallet signing requires you to confirm a wallet popup. The popup is mostly *your* time, not Dequan's, but it adds 1–3 seconds per trade. See [Lightning Wallet](/execution/lightning-wallet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why do my Dequan trades land when other tools' trades revert?">
    Three factors: adaptive priority fees (calibrated to live network percentiles), adaptive slippage (calibrated to actual quote impact), and parallel-path landing (multiple submission lanes racing). Static defaults plus single-path submission is why other tools' transactions revert. See [Execution Philosophy](/execution/philosophy).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Tiers and referrals

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Scout really 'fully featured'?">
    Yes. Every functional feature on the platform is in Scout. Tiers govern fee rates and limits — not feature access. See [Tiers Overview](/tiers/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get invited to Sniper or Apex?">
    Sustained activity at Scout's volume cap, community introduction, or direct outreach. See [Sniper & Apex](/tiers/sniper-and-apex). There is no public sign-up page for upgraded tiers.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How much can I earn on referrals?">
    A meaningful percentage of your referees' trading fees. Heavy referrers in active communities earn substantial sustained income. See [Referral Program](/referrals/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I'm flagged for referral abuse incorrectly?">
    The throttle status is shown in your account view with reasoning. Most flags are correctable through normal activity over a short window. Disputes can be raised through support. See [Referral Anti-Abuse](/safety/referral-anti-abuse).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Account and support

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I delete my account?">
    Disconnect your wallet and stop using the platform. Your trade history remains in your wallet's on-chain transaction history (which we don't control), but Dequan stores no off-chain personal data that needs deletion separately.

    If you have an active Lightning Wallet, withdraw it first.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I get support?">
    Open a [support ticket](https://discord.com/channels/1480608573989064704/1480621565468217344) in our Discord.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do you have an API?">
    Not publicly. Dequan is a UI product. Programmatic access to data feeds and execution is not exposed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is the source code open?">
    No. The data pipeline, execution engine, and Pump Zone scoring contain meaningful intellectual property that is the platform's competitive moat. We publish operational transparency — health, latency, fees, post-mortems — but not source.
