App Settings
Resting the pointer on the gear in the header, or clicking it, opens App settings as a dropdown under it: general preferences that apply across the whole app, separate from Automation & gas (which are per-wallet, per-chain automation configuration). Display currency and RPCs open inside the dropdown, with Back to App settings. With a mouse it stays open while the pointer is on the gear or the dropdown and closes when the pointer moves away; a page opened inside it stays until you press Escape or click outside. Opened from the keyboard or by a tap, it also stays until then. The dropdown and the Notices list show one at a time. On phones, App settings opens from the menu, or as a bottom drawer from a link elsewhere.
On mobile, tap Menu at the bottom right to open the navigation drawer. It holds Home, App settings, Notices and the pages the bar doesn’t cover. These screens stay inside the drawer. Menu stays visible while scrolling and returns to the menu. The device’s Back button dismisses the menu without leaving the current page. App dialogs, including settings forms and confirmations, open as bottom drawers. Swipe inside longer forms, including Customize columns, to reach the bottom controls. Close a drawer with its close button, by tapping outside, or by dragging the handle down. Desktop dialogs stay centered.
In Positions’ Customize columns menu, the Exit token picker opens in a searchable dropdown as wide as its input, or a bottom drawer on phones. Choose a token or press Escape to return to the menu; the drawer also has a Close button. Select lists and dropdown menus open above the settings form.
Notices
Notices that apply to your wallet or the current page, such as a gas account running low, share one row under the header. Dismissing one doesn’t lose it: the bell in the header (rest the pointer on it or click it), or Notices in the mobile menu, lists every notice, shown and hidden. Each hidden one says how long it stays hidden, and Show again puts it back in the row; Show all again restores every hidden notice at once. A notice leaves the list once it no longer applies. The bell is always in the header; while there are notices it shows a count of all of them, including hidden ones, without opening the list. The list ends with Notify this device, which turns on push notifications: a notification on this device when a position goes out of or back into range, and when a gas account your automated positions rely on gets low or runs out, while vfat is open. Turning it on asks the browser for permission first; it stays off if the browser refuses.
Theme
Theme, at the top of App settings’ Display group, offers Light, Dark and System side by side. System follows your device’s appearance and updates automatically when it changes. It is the default when no theme preference is saved. Existing saved Light or Dark preferences are kept, and your selection is remembered in this browser.
Colors keep the same meaning in both themes. Blue marks primary actions, including Connect wallet and automation settings, and purple marks rewards and points. Transaction buttons keep the color of their action type. Selected controls and applied filters are highlighted, invalid values keep their error highlight, and keyboard focus stays visible.
Rest the pointer on the connected wallet in the header, or click it, to open its menu: your address with a copy button, the native balance on the current network, Fund wallet, Send, Activity, Network, More wallet options (switching wallets and email wallet settings), HyperEVM block mode and Disconnect. On phones, the Wallet tab opens the same menu as a drawer. Until a wallet is connected, the same places offer Connect wallet.
HyperEVM block mode, in the wallet menu, lets you choose between Fast blocks (every transaction confirms in ~1s, capped at 3M gas) or Big blocks (up to 30M gas, but every HyperEVM transaction from this wallet waits ~1 minute). Big blocks require a Hyperliquid Core account for that wallet. If it doesn’t have one yet, the app walks you through creating one by sending a small amount of HYPE; the remainder stays in your Core balance and can be moved back to HyperEVM anytime.
Season
vfat decorates itself for the time of year. Each season tints the page surfaces in its own colours, keeping the same contrast between the page, cards, tables and text as the standard look. It also puts an accessory on the vfat logo, swaps the loading indicator, strings a small garland along the bottom of the header and lays a landscape across the Home page, just under the introduction. Buttons, charts, gains, losses and warnings keep their usual colours. Seasons follow your local date, work with both light and dark mode, and never change your theme choice. Open tabs update at local midnight and check the date again when you return to them. Outside a season, the app uses its standard look.
On the days around each holiday (marked below), the Home page comes alive: particles drift behind the page, characters fly along the top and, with a mouse, the pointer leaves a short trail. On other pages the decorations stay at the header edge so they never cover tables, forms or numbers. On phones the garland runs along the top of the bottom navigation, and Home adds small hanging decorations in the top corners and, on the peak days, a little visitor crossing the top of the screen.
| Season | Dates | Peak days | What you’ll see |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin Genesis Day | January 3 | January 3 | A miner’s hard hat on the logo, falling block hashes, rising blocks and a Block 0 card with the genesis message |
| Lunar New Year | The eve of Lunar New Year through the Lantern Festival | The eve through the third day | Red and gold, swinging red lanterns, a firecracker string, plum blossoms, rising sky lanterns and the year’s zodiac animal |
| Valentine’s Day | February 13 – 14 | February 13 – 14 | Rose and pink, a heart balloon tied to the logo, rising hearts, candy hearts and Cupid’s arrow |
| St. Patrick’s Day | March 16 – 17 | March 16 – 17 | Green and gold, a leprechaun hat, a rainbow ending in a glowing pot of gold, falling shamrocks and rolling hills |
| Bitcoin Pizza Day | May 22 | May 22 | Falling pizza slices, a checkered tablecloth trim and a receipt for the 10,000 BTC pizzas with what they’re worth today |
| vfat birthday | July 28 – 30 | July 28 – 30 | A party hat on the logo, bunting, balloons, confetti and a birthday cake with a candle for every year |
| The Merge | September 15 | September 15 | Indigo and teal, panda ears on the logo, two chains joining, floating ETH diamonds and the Merge panda |
| Halloween | October 15 – November 1 | October 29 – November 1 | Pumpkin lights, a witch hat, a moonlit graveyard, ghosts, bats, cobwebs and a dangling spider |
| Christmas | December 1 – 26 | December 20 – 26 | Twinkling lights, a Santa hat, snowfall, a snowman, a decorated tree and Santa’s sleigh |
| New Year | December 27 – January 2 | December 31 – January 1 | Gold and midnight, a top hat, fireworks over a city skyline, the arriving year in neon and a countdown to midnight |
If Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day fall on the same days, Valentine’s Day is shown, except on the eve of Lunar New Year and on Lunar New Year itself.
A few things are worth finding: click the accessory on the vfat logo, look out for a successful deposit, increase, harvest or compound, and keep vfat open as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. On Halloween, empty pages have company.
If your device asks for reduced motion, scenes stay still and moving decorations, bursts and the pointer trail are hidden. Decorations never block clicks or taps.
To use the standard look instead, turn off Seasonal themes under Display in App settings. The switch appears there only while a season is running. Your choice is remembered in this browser and applies to future seasons too.
Display
Display currency shows the currency used for values across the app; select it to choose another. Search by currency name or symbol and pick the currency used to display dollar-equivalent values across the app.
Where balances show cents, nonzero USD and EUR values below one cent appear as <$0.01 or <€0.01. Hover or tap a value with details to inspect its amount. Other display currencies, including ETH and BTC, retain significant digits in both the main value and its explanation.
Seasonal themes appears here while a season is running; see Season above.
Networks
Network icons use the chain’s published logo when its usual icon is unavailable. If neither image loads, the chain’s initial appears instead; the network name and selection still work.
RPCs opens the list of chains. Every supported chain uses a default RPC. Open a chain here to switch it to a custom RPC URL of your own (validated against that chain’s actual chain ID before it’s accepted). Changing a chain’s RPC disconnects your wallet; reconnect to apply the change.
Set where they're used
Settings that change one feature are set where that feature is, not here:
- Rebalance goals, Range percentages, Rebalance starts from and Liquidity bars: Range settings, from the sliders button on any range chart
- Maximum pool fee: Yield’s Fee chip
- Slippage, Price impact limit, Dust limits, Quick actions and Deposit automation: see Transaction defaults below
Transaction defaults
Defaults for manual, one-off transactions, not automation (see Automation for that). Each is shown in the form that uses it, and you save a new one there:
- Slippage: every form’s slippage row starts from your default. When you pick another value, Your default is 0.5%. Make 1% my default appears under it; without that, the change applies to this action only.
- Price impact limit: forms that use swaps show Price impact (%) beside slippage, before you request a quote. It starts from your saved limit. An edit applies to this action; Make 1% my default saves it for future actions. Transactions above this limit still ask you to review the price impact before signing.
- Max dust: forms that add liquidity show Max dust (%), including deposits with underlying tokens, increases, compounds, moves and rebalances. It shows the value used by the quote, including a saved position-specific override. An edit applies to this action; the Make … my default link updates your general default without removing position-specific overrides. Actions that do not use max dust, such as token swaps, withdrawals and bin-pool actions, omit it. Max dust is the leftover share tolerated when manually adding liquidity. Leftover tokens stay in your wallet and do not earn in the position.
- High dust limit: when a failed quote leaves too much unused, transaction recovery offers High dust limit picks of 50, 70, 90 or 100%. Below this safety limit you can retry with higher max dust; at or above it, retry the quote or raise the safety limit first. These manual dust limits do not change automation dust limits.
- Quick actions: Positions’ Customize columns menu has Quick actions, with Review before Exit and Review before Rebalance switches and the Exit token chosen per chain. A row’s Exit panel also picks the token and can save it with Exit to USDC on Base every time. Chains without a choice exit to their native token; if a chosen token can’t be loaded or has no price, the row exits to the native token instead. The Withdraw tab and Auto-exit keep their own token choices.
- Deposit automation: a deposit’s automations start from your saved defaults. When you change which ones are on, how rebalance handles rewards, or its dust, slippage or price impact limits, the section lists the differences and offers Save as my defaults. Editing one deposit’s limits no longer changes your defaults by itself.
When token prices are unavailable, swaps selling the same token can still show a combined price-impact percentage weighted by the amounts sold. If swaps sell different tokens and prices are missing, vfat uses the worst individual swap impact. An impact above your threshold still requires confirmation, which labels the dollar loss estimate as unavailable. If any swap lacks a reliable price-impact percentage, the transaction is blocked.
For manual Sickle actions, quotes at least ten seconds old are simulated again after in-app confirmations, before wallet submission. If an RPC reports a revert, the app checks the other configured RPCs. As soon as one succeeds, the transaction can proceed to wallet confirmation without waiting for slower RPCs. If none succeeds within the check’s time limit, or your wallet changes during the check, submission stops; retry to request and review a fresh quote. If the initial check times out or the RPCs cannot complete it without reporting a revert, the transaction can proceed to wallet confirmation. This check preserves the quoted route and minimum outputs. Ten seconds is only a trigger for an extra check: prices can still change during wallet confirmation or before mining, including for very narrow liquidity ranges.
