Is this MLM or a pyramid scheme?
No. RIFT is a trading platform. You earn builder fees from real trading volume generated by your network — not from recruiting people. If nobody in your network trades, you earn nothing from them. The income is tied to actual market activity, not sign-up fees.
Can I really start with just $21?
Yes. Your first deposit includes a $10 one-time wallet creation fee plus a minimum of $11 trading capital — $21 total to begin live trading. The $10 wallet fee is charged once only — never again. You can also practice risk-free on a $10,000 demo account immediately after free registration before committing any real capital.
What is the difference between manual and auto trading?
Manual trading is free — you register, fund from $21, and trade crypto futures yourself. You decide when to open and close every trade. Auto trading requires a license ($100–$1,000 per year) which unlocks the AI trading engine in your app. The AI then trades 24/7 on your behalf across crypto, stock and commodity futures — no experience or screen-watching needed. Both paths earn builder fees from your network.
Do I need a license to earn builder fees?
No. Builder fees are earned from both manual and auto trading networks — a license is not required to earn them. If your network trades manually, you earn manual builder fees. If they trade with AI automation, you earn auto builder fees. You can earn from both simultaneously. The license only determines whether YOU use AI automation for your own trading.
Can I earn from both manual and auto trading at the same time?
Yes — all four income streams can run simultaneously. Your own trading profit (manual or auto), manual builder fees from your network, and auto builder fees from your network are completely independent. If someone in your network does both manual and auto trading, you earn builder fees from both their activities at the same time.
What happens if someone in my chain is inactive?
For both manual and auto trading — an inactive middle person does not break the chain. Builder fees flow upward through all 5 levels regardless of whether middle members are actively trading. As long as someone deeper in your network is trading, you earn from their activity.
How long does a license last? Do I need to renew?
Each license is valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. After 365 days, the AI auto-trading feature is deactivated until you renew. Manual trading and builder fee earning continue regardless of license status. Renewing keeps the AI running and maintains access to all three markets for auto trading.
What is compounding and how does it work?
Compounding is available on auto trading. If your 24h trading profit is at least $1, you can click the compounding button in the app to add that profit back into your trading capital — growing your base for the next cycle. You can also add earned builder fees to your capital when compounding. Compounding is always at your discretion — never forced.
How much can I earn from manual trading?
Manual trading profit depends entirely on your own trading decisions and market conditions. The app shows potential take-profit levels and you close trades when you are satisfied with the result — or the app closes automatically at your pre-set stop-loss or take-profit. There is no fixed estimate. Results vary per trader and per trade.
What if I lose money trading?
Trading always carries risk and RIFT does not guarantee profits. Auto trading includes built-in stop-loss and take-profit management on every cycle. Manual trading lets you set your own stop-loss and take-profit levels. Only ever trade capital you can afford to lose — and use the free $10,000 demo account to understand the platform before committing real capital.
How and when do I actually get paid builder fees?
Builder fees accumulate in real time as your network trades. Payouts are processed on-chain via the Hyperliquid protocol — directly to your wallet. There is no platform holding your money at any stage. You own your funds entirely. Builder fees from manual trading accumulate from every trade volume. Auto builder fees accumulate from every profitable 24h cycle in your network.
Is RIFT regulated? Is it safe?
RIFT is a non-custodial DeFi protocol built on Hyperliquid Layer 1. It is not regulated in the traditional sense — like most DeFi platforms. The safety comes from the architecture: your funds never leave your wallet, every transaction is recorded on-chain, and there is no central party that can freeze or lose your capital.
