/settings → Guardrails. All three belong to the profile. Degen Mode and Auto-Adjust are off by default, and Gas Surplus starts at $5 on a new account.

​
Degen Mode

Auto Buy and limit buys follow it too. Sells always keep your normal slippage. Switch it here, or with the Degen button on any token panel.
Use it only when a fill at any price beats no fill, like a launch moving faster than any slippage can follow. On a thin pool it’s how you buy the top of your own candle. It doesn’t make a restricted token sellable, and it doesn’t guarantee a fill.

​
Auto-Adjust

On, a buy bigger than your balance is reduced to the largest buy your balance covers, and goes through. Off, it’s refused and nothing is spent. Useful if you often trade close to your full balance.

​
Gas Surplus

Dawn pays up to $5 of network gas on every trade. Gas Surplus is how much more a trade may take from your USDC when it needs more than that, up to $50. Past your limit, or with it off, a buy or sell you tap on a coin’s panel asks you to pay the extra first. Automatic sells, like a take profit, stop loss, trailing or limit sell, or a copy’s sell, pay up to $50 of extra gas whatever your limit, out of what the sale brings in. Any other trade is declined and nothing is spent.
Careful: Degen off, Auto-Adjust on, Gas Surplus $2. Fast: Degen on, Auto-Adjust on, Gas Surplus $10, which fills on almost anything, sometimes badly. Keep each in its own profile rather than toggling between them.
