⚠️ Crypto involves risk: you may lose part or all of the capital you invest. Theta is not a financial advisor and does not guarantee any return. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

Why trust it

Trade-only key, no withdrawals

The API key reads and trades — but can't withdraw. Your funds never leave your exchange account.

Never sells at a loss

No stop-loss, by design: if price drops, the bot holds and reopens later. You only realize a gain.

Free test mode

Simulate with a virtual balance, no time limit, before risking a single real cent.

Grows on its own, public plan

Half of each profit reinvests, half goes to a vault; the pilot climbs from $100 to $10,000 following a published plan. A rule, not a promise.

How DCA works on ADA

DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) buys a fixed amount of ADA at regular intervals — regardless of price. With Theta, you set the amount and frequency; the bot runs on its own in the cloud, nonstop.

  1. 1Create an API key on Binance with read-and-trade permission only — no withdrawals.
  2. 2Connect the key in Theta and select the ADA/USDT pair.
  3. 3Pick the "Calm Reserve" preset (pure DCA) or set the interval and amount per order manually.
  4. 4Turn on test mode: Theta simulates the orders with a virtual balance (free, no time limit).
  5. 5Go live: the bot buys Cardano automatically at the interval you set.

On Bybit, the fee (~0.1%) is charged in the coin you receive; API orders fall outside the MNT-token discount. None of the three exchanges takes custody of your funds — the key is trade-only.

Frequently asked questions

Can Theta withdraw my ADA?
No. You connect Theta to Cardano on your Binance, Bybit and Coinbase account with an API key that only has read-and-trade permission — no withdrawal rights. The bot trades the ADA/USDT pair directly on the exchange but cannot move funds off it.
Does DCA guarantee a profit on ADA?
No. DCA smooths your average entry price over time, reducing the impact of volatility. As a Layer 1 coin, Cardano — an academically driven blockchain focused on formal security and smart contracts — may go up or down; there is no guaranteed return.
What's the recommended minimum to accumulate ADA?
Binance requires ~5 USDT per order. For DCA on Cardano, Theta recommends at least 20 USDT per coin so the reinforcements work.
Can I accumulate ADA and other coins at once?
Yes. The Pro plan allows multiple bots at once — you can accumulate Cardano (Layer 1) and other pairs like BTC or ETH simultaneously, each with its own settings.
Does Theta sell my ADA at a loss?
No. The Accumulate (DCA) strategy never sells — it only buys Cardano at intervals and holds the position. And if you run Cycle on the same coin, it also never sells at a loss: if ADA drops below cost, it holds and reopens the cycle once price recovers.

DCA or Cycle: which one is for you?

DCA (Accumulate) buys ADA at intervals and holds — ideal if you just want to stack Cardano without worrying about timing. Cycle buys the dip and sells in profit — ideal if you want to realize gains on Cardano without ever selling at a loss. Both use the same trade-only key, no withdrawals.
