Otomate requires a small number of on-chain signatures to authorize execution.

These signatures do NOT give Otomate custody of your funds.
\
They only authorize smart contract interactions on Ink.<br>

\
&#x20;A second signature is required to authorize automated execution.

This allows Otomate to execute trades on your behalf
\
based on the selected trader exposure.<br>
