/settings → Guardrails. All three belong to the profile.

​
Degen Mode

Off by default. Auto Buy and limit buys follow the same rule while it is on. Sells always keep your normal slippage, whichever way this is set. That is deliberate: it keeps the fee inside the minimum you have agreed to accept.
Degen Mode exists for the case where a fill at any price beats no fill at all — a launch moving faster than any sane slippage setting can follow.On a thin pool it is also how you buy the top of your own candle. It does not make a restricted token sellable, and it does not guarantee a fill.
Toggle it from Guardrails, or from the Degen button on any token panel.

​
Auto-Adjust

Off by default. The trade card names the amount it settled on, so a smaller buy is never a surprise after the fact. This is the setting that stops “tap $50, have $47.30, get nothing” — useful if you often trade close to your full balance, and harmless otherwise.

​
Gas Surplus

Off by default. Dawn pays up to $5 of network gas on every trade. When a trade needs more than that, this setting decides what happens. Presets are $1 · $2 · $5 · $10, or type your own up to $50.

​
It applies to stops too

Take-profit and stop-loss sells follow the same limit. A stop-loss that needs more gas than you allow will not fire.If you rely on stops — and especially on a volatile chain where gas spikes exactly when you need to exit — set a surplus limit rather than leaving it off.

​
Choosing a set

Careful

Degen off, Auto-Adjust on, Gas Surplus $2. Nothing surprising happens, and your stops still fire.

Fast

Degen on, Auto-Adjust on, Gas Surplus $10. You will fill on almost anything, sometimes badly.
Keep them in separate profiles rather than toggling between them — that way you can never be in the wrong mode by accident.
