Deposits and Withdrawals

TL;DR: Deposits are detected within seconds via WebSocket monitoring — send SOL to your Stratium wallet address and copy trading begins automatically. Withdrawals complete in 10–30 seconds with no Stratium fee: any open token positions are sold to SOL first, then the full amount is transferred to your destination address.

#How do I deposit SOL into Stratium?

#Step-by-step deposit process

1. Open the Stratium bot on Telegram (or go to Funds in the web dashboard)
2. Tap the Deposit button in the menu
3. Copy your wallet address or scan the QR code
4. Send SOL from any Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Coinbase, Binance, OKX, or any exchange that supports Solana withdrawals

#How quickly is my deposit detected?

Stratium monitors your wallet via persistent WebSocket connections to Solana RPC nodes. Deposits are detected and reflected in your balance within seconds of on-chain confirmation — no need to notify the bot or wait for manual review.

Solana's block time is approximately 400ms (Solana documentation), and most deposits confirm within 1–2 seconds of submission. During periods of network congestion, confirmation may take up to 1–2 minutes.

#What is the minimum deposit?

There is no enforced minimum. Stratium recommends starting with at least 0.1 SOL to ensure you have enough for:

• Initial trade execution (minimum trade sizes are typically 0.01–0.05 SOL depending on your scaling factor)
• Transaction fees (~$0.001 per trade on Solana — negligible compared to Ethereum's $5–50 gas fees)
• The 0.01 SOL minimum reserve Stratium keeps in your wallet at all times

#Can I make multiple deposits?

Yes. You can deposit additional SOL at any time from any wallet or exchange. Each deposit is automatically detected and added to your available balance. There is no maximum deposit limit.

#How do I withdraw my funds from Stratium?

#Step-by-step withdrawal process

1. Tap the Withdraw button in the bot menu (or go to Funds → Withdraw in the web dashboard)
2. Tap Withdraw to confirm you want to proceed
3. Enter your destination Solana wallet address
4. Confirm the withdrawal

#What happens to my open token positions?

If you hold open token positions (tokens other than SOL) at the time of withdrawal, Stratium liquidates them before transferring:

1. Calculate — Determines the SOL equivalent of your withdrawal amount
2. Sell token positions — Sells tokens to SOL via Jupiter, starting with the smallest positions first to minimize market impact
3. Transfer — Sends the full SOL amount to your destination address
4. Notify — Sends you a Telegram notification with the transaction signature and Solscan link

Note: Selling tokens during withdrawal may incur slippage, especially for low-liquidity tokens. The actual amount received may differ slightly from the displayed estimate. Stratium uses the same Jupiter routing and slippage protection as regular copy trades.

#What are the withdrawal fees?

Fee Type	Amount
Stratium withdrawal fee	None
Solana network fee	~$0.001 (standard transaction fee)
Token liquidation slippage	0–3% depending on token liquidity

Stratium does not charge any fee on withdrawals — the only cost is the standard Solana network fee (~0.000005 SOL) for the transfer transaction itself.

#How long does a withdrawal take?

Withdrawals typically complete within 10–30 seconds:

• Token liquidation: 5–15 seconds (if you hold open positions)
• SOL transfer to destination: 5–10 seconds
• On-chain confirmation: Near-instant on Solana (~1–2 seconds)

#What is the minimum SOL reserve?

Stratium maintains a minimum SOL balance in your wallet at all times to ensure the wallet remains functional:

• Default minimum reserve: 0.01 SOL
• This reserve ensures transaction fees can always be paid and small trades can still execute
• When you request a 100% withdrawal, this reserve is included — your wallet will be fully emptied

If a trade would bring your SOL balance below the reserve threshold, the trade is either skipped or the trade size is reduced to maintain the minimum.

#How do I verify my transactions on-chain?

Every deposit and withdrawal creates a permanent Solana blockchain transaction:

• The bot sends you the transaction signature (a unique 88-character string) for each operation
• Click the signature or paste it into Solscan to see full transaction details
• All transactions are permanently recorded on the Solana blockchain and cannot be altered

You can also view your full deposit and withdrawal history in the Funds section of the Telegram bot or web dashboard.

#Tips for managing your balance

• Keep a small balance for ongoing trades — withdrawing 100% pauses all trading activity until you deposit again
• Deposit more than the minimum to take advantage of multiple strategy assignments (more SOL = more concurrent trades across strategies)
• Check your positions before withdrawing — in the Portfolio view, review open token positions since they will be liquidated at market price during withdrawal
• Save your withdrawal address — the bot remembers your last used address for convenience on future withdrawals
