Question 1

Is Vestige Index non-custodial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vestige Index never holds your funds. Every swap is signed directly by your wallet. Vestige Index quotes and routes through integrated provider rails such as LI.FI, 1inch, 0x, Velora, THORChain, Maya, Chainflip and Jupiter.

Question 2

Can I swap native Bitcoin without wrapping it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vestige Index routes native BTC through THORChain, Maya Protocol and Chainflip — no wBTC, no bridging, no wrapping. BTC stays BTC.

Question 3

Does Vestige Index require KYC or an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Vestige Index is permissionless — connect a wallet and swap. No registration, no KYC, no email, no identity verification.

Question 4

What fees does Vestige Index charge?

Accepted Answer

A platform fee may apply on eligible EVM routes only when Vestige Index improves the quoted baseline. VIGIX access tiers may reduce eligible platform fees. Provider, network and protocol fees may still apply.

Question 5

What is UTXO Guard?

Accepted Answer

UTXO Guard is Vestige Index's pre-signing risk scoring engine. It analyzes the transaction before your wallet signs and surfaces issues — malicious approvals, MEV exposure, contract risk — so you can cancel before signing.
