What users ask most often
If you need detail specific to your setup, contact us and we will point you to the relevant explanation.
What does Yellowfish actually do?
Yellowfish consolidates activity from multiple exchange connections into one ledger for oversight. It normalises balances, transfers and trade history so you can review allocation, exposure and downside indicators in one place, rather than checking each venue separately.
How do exchange connections work?
You connect read-oriented access keys where supported by the venue, and Yellowfish pulls balances and history for aggregation. You can pause, reconnect or remove a connection at any time. Connection status, last sync time and any errors are shown in the interface.
Do you move or hold my assets?
No. Yellowfish does not take custody and does not move assets between venues. It is an analytics layer for visibility and review. Any rebalancing or trading remains executed by you on the exchange itself.
How are transfers between my own accounts handled?
Internal transfers are matched and labelled so they are not counted as new deposits or withdrawals. This keeps performance and allocation views cleaner when you move assets between your own connected venues or sub-accounts.
What is the unified ledger?
The unified ledger is a normalised record of your connected activity: holdings by venue, transaction history, and derived summaries such as allocation and realised activity. Where records conflict or are incomplete, the item is flagged for review rather than silently corrected.
What are predictive rebalancing signals?
They are model-based prompts that highlight when allocation has drifted from a target you define, or when volatility and concentration conditions change. They are informational indicators to support review — not instructions — and you decide whether any action is appropriate.
How do downside controls work?
You can define thresholds for review, such as concentration limits, drawdown alerts and venue-exposure notes. When a threshold is crossed, Yellowfish surfaces an alert in the dashboard and in the event log. Alerts do not execute trades automatically.
Who can access my workspace?
Access is managed through individual logins with role-based permissions, such as viewer or administrator. You can invite or remove members and review the access list. We recommend using unique credentials and enabling available additional verification on your email and exchange accounts.
How is connection data protected?
Data in transit is encrypted, access keys are stored in encrypted form, and permissions follow least-privilege principles. You can revoke keys at the exchange at any time, which stops further syncing. See the security overview and contact us if you need detail for an internal review.
Is Yellowfish investment advice?
No. Yellowfish provides analytical software and does not provide regulated investment advice. Model outputs are based on historical and current connected data and do not guarantee future results. Digital assets carry risk, including loss of capital, and you should consider independent advice where needed.
