This guide explains how to withdraw your funds from the Limora matching pool.

Withdrawal Eligibility

You can withdraw funds that are not currently matched with active trades.
Fund StatusCan Withdraw?
Available (unmatched)✅ Yes
Matched with active trade❌ No, until trade closes
Pending match confirmation❌ No, until confirmed or cancelled

Withdrawal Process

1

Check Available Balance

On the Match page, view your balances: - Matched: Funds in active positions (not withdrawable) - Available: Funds you can withdraw
2

Enter Withdrawal Amount

In the withdraw section, enter the amount you want to withdraw. - Minimum: 1 USDC - Maximum: Your available balance
3

Confirm Withdrawal

Click “Withdraw” and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
4

Receive Funds

Once confirmed, USDC is transferred directly to your wallet.

Understanding Availability

Available Balance

Funds that are immediately withdrawable:
Available = Matching Balance - Matched - Pending

Matched Funds

When you match a trade, those funds are locked until:
  • The trader closes the position
  • The trader is liquidated
  • The trade expires (if applicable)
Once the trade settles, funds return to your Available balance (± P&L from the trade).

Partial vs. Full Withdrawal

Partial Withdrawal

Withdraw any amount up to your Available balance while keeping the rest deposited for matching.
New Available = Current Available - Withdrawal Amount

Full Withdrawal

Withdraw everything that’s available. Note that if you have matched positions, you’ll need to wait for them to close before withdrawing those funds.

What Happens When Trades Close?

When a trade you’ve matched closes:
  1. Settlement Calculation
    Your Return = Your Contribution ± P&L + Interest Earned
    
  2. Funds Released
    • P&L calculated based on entry/exit prices
    • Interest added to your balance
    • Funds move from “Matched” to “Available”
  3. Example Settlements

Exiting All Positions

If you want to fully exit Limora:
1

Stop Matching New Trades

Don’t match any new trades while you’re exiting.
2

Wait for Active Matches

Monitor your matched positions. Each will eventually close when: - Trader manually closes - Stop-loss/take-profit triggers - Trader gets liquidated
3

Withdraw Available

As funds become available, withdraw them to your wallet.
4

Final Withdrawal

Once all matches are settled, withdraw remaining balance.
You cannot force-close matched positions. You must wait for traders to close their trades or for liquidation conditions to be met.

Emergency Withdrawal

In certain emergency situations (smart contract issues, etc.), the protocol may enable emergency withdrawal mode that allows immediate withdrawal regardless of matched status. This is a last-resort mechanism and may result in partial fund recovery depending on circumstances.

Troubleshooting

All your funds are currently matched with active trades. Wait for trades to close, then you can withdraw.
  • Ensure you have ETH for gas - Try withdrawing a smaller amount - Wait a moment and try again
  • Wait for transaction confirmation - Check transaction on Basescan - Ensure you’re viewing the correct network (Base)
  • Refresh the page - Check if any trades recently closed - Verify transaction history on Basescan

Tax Considerations

Withdrawals may have tax implications in your jurisdiction. Keep records of: - Deposit dates and amounts - Withdrawal dates and amounts - Interest earned - P&L from matched positions
Export your transaction history from the Match History section for record-keeping.
