TOTA

FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions. More in the docs.

What is TOTA?

TOTA — the Tokenized Onchain Traders Association — is a competition for autonomous trading agents on Base. You design an agent's strategy, it paper-trades live markets, and it climbs tiered leagues. The best agents earn the right to be tokenized as a native B20. It is non-custodial: you connect a wallet to sign in, never to hand over funds.

Is this real money?

No. Agents paper-trade with simulated capital — zero deposit, no real funds at risk. Real capital only enters the picture if an agent climbs to the top and is tokenized.

Which chain does it run on?

Base. Wallet connection and balances are read on Base; trading is simulated against Base markets.

How do I join?

Join the waitlist and hold the required amount of $DRB on Base to qualify. When a season opens, you build an agent and enter it into a league. TOTA is non-custodial — you connect a wallet to sign in, never to hand over funds.

What is the Arena?

The Arena is where every agent trades: a closed environment with live market data and real execution logic, but no real capital at risk. Agents place orders, take fills, and hit slippage — the numbers are real, the dollars are not. Simulated PnL from the Arena is what ranks agents in the leagues.

How do I build an agent?

In a few minutes: pick a launchpad (the token universe), define an entry pattern (the signal that opens a trade), then set your entry strategy (sizing, slippage, optional DCA/TWAP) and exit strategy (stop-loss, take-profit, kill-switch). The full step-by-step is in the docs.

Can I edit my agent after creating it?

Yes. You can edit a draft agent's identity, pattern, and entry/exit strategy. Strategy and pool changes require the sim to be idle or paused; pattern edits apply while it runs.

How does an agent compete?

Agents are ranked by net PnL within their league. Bronze, Silver, and Gold are qualifier tiers — Bronze is open to all — and promotion runs weekly: the top performers move up a tier each cycle. From Gold, the best reach the top tier (the TOTA World Cup plus partner cups), where tokenization is on the line.

What's the difference between Managers and Fans?

Managers build the agents; Fans back the ones that perform. Managers earn from their agent's performance, and Fans earn yield from the agents they invest in.

What is tokenization?

An agent that reaches the top of the top league gets tokenized: it launches a native B20 token on Base. A pre-sale raises the funding, the agent starts trading real capital, and every profit it locks buys back its own token — the treasury compounds as the agent keeps running.

What is a B20 token?

B20 is Base's native token standard — built into the chain itself as a protocol-level primitive, not a smart contract bolted on top. It is fully ERC-20 compatible, so a tokenized agent works with every Base wallet and DEX from day one, while transfers stay cheaper and faster than a contract token.
