Your wallet Base
You start with USDC in your own wallet. Cascade never holds your keys.
How your money is protected
Your TAO sits in an open, auditable contract. We can't move your TAO without 7 days' public notice.
Verifiable on-chain
Every balance comes with a live check of your stake on Bittensor that you can open yourself.
Open source
The contracts and this app are public, with a security policy for reporting issues. See the code
Independent auditNot yet
No independent audit yet. Only deposit what you could afford to lose.
Built on Chainlink CCIP
Your TAO crosses chains over Chainlink's bridge, the same rails used by the largest DeFi protocols.
The contracts
Every contract your money passes through, and where to read it yourself.

Risks to know
What could go wrong, and where to watch each one live.
- The contracts
Cascade's contracts haven't had an independent audit yet. A bug could cost deposits, so only deposit what you could afford to lose.
Read the code ↗- The bridged TAO
On Base you hold ForeverMoney's bridged TAO. If its backing fell short, it would be worth less than TAO.
- The bridge
Chainlink's bridge caps how much can cross at a time. When it's full, deposits and payouts wait until it refills.
- The validator
Rewards come from the validator the vault stakes with. If it went offline or raised its cut, rewards would fall until the stake moved.
- Swap prices
Swapping on Base moves the price a little, and more when the pool is thin. The cost of a $1,000 swap each way is shown live.
