Quickstart

This quickstart introduces the core workflows of RAX Protocol and helps you get value from the system within minutes.

RAX can be used in multiple ways depending on your role and objectives. The paths below outline the most common entry points.


Option 1: Explore in Demo Mode

Start here if you want to understand what RAX does before connecting a wallet.

  1. Visit the RAX application

  2. Select Demo Mode from the landing page β€” no wallet required

  3. Explore the Risk Overview dashboard: global risk metrics, protocol status, AI market signals

  4. Navigate to Exposure Analysis to see how capital is distributed across protocols and assets

  5. Run a Simulation to see how the autonomous vault would behave over time

Demo Mode provides full access to the interface with simulated data.


Option 2: Analyze Risk and Exposure

Use this path if you want to understand DeFi risk conditions.

  1. Open the Risk Overview dashboard

  2. Review the overall Risk Score and its component dimensions

  3. Check protocol-level status for Aave, Compound, Uniswap, and Aerodrome

  4. Navigate to Exposure Analysis to identify concentration across protocols and asset classes

  5. Review alerts for any active risk warnings

This workflow is useful for gaining situational awareness before making capital decisions.


Option 3: Allocate Capital Through the Vault

Use this path to actively manage capital with AI assistance.

  1. Connect your wallet (Base Sepolia testnet)

  2. Configure a Mandate β€” define your risk tolerance, protocol exposure limits, liquidity thresholds, and rebalance rules

  3. Deposit USDC into the vault

  4. Review AI-generated allocation proposals in the Allocation Engine

  5. Approve, reject, or enable auto-execution for proposed rebalances

  6. Monitor decisions in the Decision History


Option 4: Enable Autonomous Mode

For users ready to let the system operate independently within constraints.

  1. Complete Option 3 (mandate configured, capital deposited)

  2. Enable Auto-Execute in your mandate settings

  3. RaxBot will begin running decision cycles automatically

  4. Monitor notifications for rebalances, emergency stops, and pending approvals

  5. Adjust the mandate as conditions change β€” the system adapts on the next cycle

Autonomous Mode requires the Power tier ($RAX token holding).


What to Explore Next

After completing the quickstart, we recommend:

  • Risk Score to understand how risk is measured and what the dimensions mean

  • Exposure vs Allocation to learn how concentration affects portfolio risk

  • Allocation Engine to see how strategies and constraints interact

  • AI-Managed Vault to understand the on-chain architecture

  • Security & Risk Disclosures to understand system limits and assumptions


Important Notes

  • RAX provides risk intelligence and decision support, not financial advice

  • Risk scores and simulations are based on models and assumptions that may not hold under extreme conditions

  • The current deployment is on Base Sepolia testnet β€” testnet tokens have no monetary value

  • All capital decisions remain the responsibility of the user
