Overview

This is Aridika in one page. What the engine actually does, how a client interacts with it from first fund to first withdrawal, which guardrails sit in between — written for someone who has fifteen minutes and does not want to click twenty tabs.

Overview sections

The 60-second TL;DR

You open an account in roughly five minutes. You fund it with as little as $250 — card, SEPA, SWIFT, BTC, ETH or USDT. You choose one of three risk profiles. The autonomous engine starts routing trades on your balance across more than forty regulated exchange venues inside the same minute. You watch the dashboard whenever you want; you withdraw whenever you want; you change profile whenever you want. Aridika takes no spread mark-up, no deposit fee, no withdrawal fee, no management fee and no performance fee. We make our revenue on the maker-rebate side of the exchange venues we trade on — meaning our interests and yours are aligned by design.

The client flow, end-to-end

  1. Open the account. Email, country of residence, tax identifier, a short KYC flow (passport or national ID + a liveness selfie). Median completion time in 2024 was 4 minutes 12 seconds.
  2. Fund the account. Choose a funding rail — card is instant, SEPA settles the same banking day, SWIFT within 2 business days, on-chain crypto settles after the destination exchange’s confirmation threshold.
  3. Pick a risk profile. Steady, Dynamic or Pioneer. Default is Dynamic. You can change profile from the dashboard at any time; the engine reconfigures inside the next trading cycle.
  4. Hit “Activate.” The engine starts routing orders in the same minute. There is no further input required from you.
  5. Watch (or do not watch) the dashboard. Real-time balance curve, open-position summary, cumulative P&L, per-venue allocation. You can set balance-threshold alerts, daily email digests, or neither.
  6. Withdraw any day. Pay-outs settle in crypto (minutes to one confirmation), SEPA (same banking day up to 15:00 CET), SWIFT (1–2 business days), or supported e-wallets (minutes). There is no lock-up window, no exit fee on the Aridika side, and no “give us 30 days’ notice” clause.

Risk profiles explained

The three profiles exist because the single most important variable in trading is how much pain you can tolerate on a bad week, not how much return you want on a good one. Everybody says they want 2.1% a day until the model is 11% underwater on a Wednesday.

  • Estável — targeted ~0.8%/day, historical weekly drawdown ceiling around 3%. Suitable for anyone who thinks of their balance as “savings I would rather compound than leave in a current account.” Highly liquid venues only, no exposure above position-size caps, no overnight carry during macro-sensitive weeks.
  • Dinâmico — targeted ~1.4%/day, historical weekly drawdown ceiling around 7%. The default. Suitable for someone who understands that crypto is volatile but wants the engine to make the trade-off calls on their behalf.
  • Pioneiro — targeted ~2.1%/day, historical weekly drawdown ceiling around 14%. For clients with a long time horizon who are explicitly comfortable with occasional double-digit drawdown weeks. Includes exposure to higher-beta assets and leveraged perpetual futures positions where regulations permit.

Numbers above are 24-month trailing historical averages for live client accounts, net of all costs. Past performance never guarantees future outcomes; see Divulgação de riscos.

Fees — the whole table

  • Account opening — $0.
  • Monthly maintenance — $0.
  • Deposit fee — $0 on all rails. Third-party card acquirer may add a 1.5% processing surcharge; this is passed through at cost and shown before confirmation.
  • Withdrawal fee — $0 on Aridika’s side. On-chain crypto withdrawals pay the network gas; SEPA is free; SWIFT may be charged by correspondent banks.
  • Trading commission / spread mark-up — $0. Aridika does not mark up spreads; it transacts at exchange mid-mark.
  • Management fee — $0.
  • Performance fee — $0.
  • Inactivity fee — $0.

Yes, we have the whole table. Yes, it fits in nine bullet points. No, there is no row 10.

Supported venues

Aridika routes orders through 40+ regulated venues. The current roster (dashboard-live) includes Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, HTX, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitfinex, Gemini, Bitstamp, MEXC, plus a long tail of regional and DeFi venues per asset. The engine selects which venue to use per order, per millisecond, based on effective price, available depth, taker-fee tier, and historical fill reliability.

Deposit & withdrawal rails

  • Card — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, UnionPay. Instant settlement.
  • SEPA — EUR deposits and withdrawals from any SEPA-connected bank. Same banking-day settlement.
  • SWIFT — USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, SGD, HKD, AED and 24 other currencies. 1–2 business days.
  • On-chain crypto — BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20), USDC, BNB, SOL and a long tail. Minimum deposit = $25 equivalent to cover network fees.
  • E-wallets — Skrill, Neteller, Payoneer, Wise. Varies per region.

Security & custody

Every client balance sits in a segregated custody account separate from Aridika’s company treasury. All traffic between the dashboard, the API and the engine is encrypted with AES-256-GCM over TLS 1.3. Multi-factor authentication is enabled by default on every account and cannot be fully disabled; passkeys and hardware security keys (WebAuthn FIDO2) are supported alongside TOTP. Withdrawal addresses go through a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off window the first time they are added. There is a per-account withdrawal cap you set yourself; raising it requires MFA re-authentication and an email confirmation.

Limits, caveats & what Aridika does NOT do

In the interest of calibration, here is what Aridika is not:

  • It is not a wallet. Your capital is custodied with venue partners under segregation; you do not hold your own private keys inside Aridika.
  • It is not a self-directed trading platform. You cannot place manual orders inside the dashboard; by design, the engine is the only thing that trades.
  • It is not a staking or lending platform. We do not re-hypothecate client balances or lend them out for yield; the only yield on an Aridika account comes from the engine’s trading P&L.
  • It is not a guarantee. Markets can and will produce losing weeks; the three profiles are calibrated to the pain tolerance of three personas, not to any level of guaranteed return.
  • It is not legal, tax or investment advice. Please consult a licensed adviser in your jurisdiction before deploying material capital.
