Questions from the Trail
Frequently Asked Questions
How Ironhide Arbitrage works — the activation, the hunts, the fees, and the pact you make when you ride the frontier.
The Frontier
What is Ironhide Arbitrage?
Ironhide Arbitrage is a decentralized application on the BNB Smart Chain built around Rocco “Ironhide” — a tough arbitrage engine that scans dozens of markets across the chain for tiny price differences and charges through them. You connect your own wallet, activate the engine, and let Rocco hunt price gaps on your behalf.
Who is Rocco “Ironhide”?
Rocco is the engine itself, personified. He reads live prices straight from BSC exchange contracts, checks low-fee pools only (0.10% per swap or less), compares every buy venue against every sell venue, follows three-token loops such as USDT → BNB → CAKE → USDT, subtracts exchange fees and gas, and only strikes when a gap survives the costs. Find the gap. Charge through.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, no password, and no custody. Your wallet is your identity, your USDT stays in it, and you keep your own keys at all times.
The Ironhide Charge
What is the Ironhide Charge?
The Ironhide Charge is a free activation: you choose a USDT spending limit and approve it for the Ironhide contract in your own wallet. There is no activation fee — connect, approve your limit, and the hunt begins.
How often does the engine hunt?
There is no fixed number of executions per hour. Once activated, Rocco re-reads live BSC prices every second and executes only when a qualifying gap appears — a round trip that clears exchange fees and network gas. When no gap qualifies, nothing happens and nothing is spent.
Are there different activation levels?
No. There is a single activation — the Ironhide Charge. Every rider gets the same engine, the same live watch, and the same terms.
Your Wallet, Your Funds
Do I send my USDT anywhere?
No. Your USDT stays in your own wallet. You approve a spending limit for the Ironhide contract, and each execution borrows up to that amount, runs every swap and returns it to you with your earnings in the same transaction. If the route wouldn't come back with more than it started with, the whole transaction cancels and nothing moves. The bot itself never holds your funds.
What is the spending limit?
The most the contract may use from your wallet in an execution. You choose it, and you can change it anytime. The bot uses the lower of your limit and the USDT actually in your wallet — your Charge Balance. The minimum is 25 USDT.
Why is the minimum 25 USDT?
Network gas costs about the same for every execution, while earnings grow with the amount used. Below 25 USDT, gas would take most or all of a typical gain, so executions would rarely go through. The minimum is written into the Ironhide contract's code and can never be changed by anyone, including the admin.
What happens if I have less than 25 USDT available?
The Ironhide Charge and Rocco at Work both stop for you — no more charges. To start again, keep at least 25 USDT in your wallet and set your limit to 25 USDT or higher.
Is there a maximum per execution?
No. The Ironhide contract has no maximum per execution, during the beta (through November 15) or after it ends on November 16. An execution uses up to the lower of your spending limit and the USDT in your wallet. This rule is written into the contract's code and can never be changed by anyone, including the admin.
How do I stop?
Press Stop on the Engine page, which sets your limit back to zero in your wallet. From that moment the contract can't use any of your USDT. You can also take the approval back from any wallet or approval-checker tool — you never need anyone's permission.
Which token is used?
Everything is denominated in USDT on BEP-20. Make sure you are on the BNB Smart Chain network before you send anything.
Fees and Earnings
What fees are there?
The network gas for each execution comes out of its gain first. Then a 10% dev fee is taken from what's left: 5% to the dev wallet and 5% to the rider who referred you. You keep 90%. The gas payback can never be more than half of an execution's gain, and the rider who referred you is locked into the contract from a free message you sign when you activate, so the bot can never redirect that 5%. Activation is free, and if a hunt finds nothing, nothing is charged — a cancelled execution costs you nothing.
How much will I earn?
There are no guaranteed earnings and no set payout amounts. Arbitrage gaps are thin, short-lived, and heavily competed for. Some scan cycles find nothing at all. Treat every figure on the site as illustrative, not a promise.
Why does Rocco sometimes find nothing?
A gap only counts if it survives exchange fees, price impact, and gas. Most gaps on BSC do not, and competing bots close the rest within a block. Rocco reports honestly rather than inventing a win.
The Crash
How does the referral program work?
A group of rhinos is called a crash — and yours pays you. Every wallet gets a rider link. When someone enters the frontier through your link, they are bound to your crash, and you earn 50% of the dev fee collected from their executed arbitrages — for as long as they hunt.
Can I see who I referred?
Yes. Your crash list on the engine page shows the wallet address of each rider bound to you, the date they were bound, and the tribute they have generated.
Access and Safety
Why does the engine page ask me to connect?
The trail is closed until a wallet on BSC is connected, because everything inside is tied to your address — your activation, your spending limit, your ledger, and your crash.
Is Ironhide Arbitrage finished?
Ironhide Arbitrage is in beta through November 15 and officially leaves beta on November 16. During this period, we are monitoring the bot closely and resolving any issues as they arise. Each new rider helps us test the system under real conditions, so wider participation allows us to refine performance and reliability before full release.
Will you ever ask for my seed phrase?
Never. No one from Ironhide Arbitrage will ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Anyone who does is trying to rob you.
Still uncertain? Read the disclaimer before activating the Ironhide Charge.
