FAQ
General Questions
Is FaaSFi a gambling platform? No. FaaSFi is a financial infrastructure protocol designed for risk transfer and information discovery. While the underlying prediction markets (Polymarket, Limitless) are often used for speculation, FaaSFi aggregates this liquidity to create hedging instruments (OBCDs) for corporations and governance signals (Futarchy) for DAOs.
How does FaaSFi differ from using Polymarket directly? Directly using Polymarket requires managing cryptocurrency wallets, navigating complex on-chain transactions, and facing potential slippage on large orders. FaaSFi provides a unified "Bloomberg Terminal" style interface that aggregates liquidity from multiple sources (Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless) to ensure the best price execution. Additionally, FaaSFi offers regulatory wrappers that allow US institutions to participate legally.
Is my capital safe? FaaSFi employs a non-custodial architecture for DeFi trades, meaning your funds remain in your control via smart contract wallets. For US regulated trades via Kalshi, funds are held in segregated bank accounts compliant with CFTC regulations. However, all financial products carry risk. Please review our Risk Disclosure Statement before trading.
Operational Questions
Why was my order rejected? Orders may be rejected for several reasons:
Slippage Tolerance: The market moved faster than your defined max slippage during execution.
Geo-Blocking: You attempted to access a Restricted Liquidity Venue (like Polymarket) from a US IP address.
Insufficient Funds: Your proxy wallet or sub-account lacked the necessary collateral.
How are disputes resolved? FaaSFi relies on the dispute resolution mechanisms of the underlying platforms.
Polymarket: Resolved by the UMA Optimistic Oracle.
Kalshi: Resolved by federal data sources (e.g., Bureau of Labor Statistics) and verified by the exchange.
Limitless: Resolved by the Pyth Network or on-chain governance. If there is a conflict between sources, the FaaSFi Master Oracle uses a "majority rule" consensus to determine the settlement value for OBCD contracts.
