Why Trade wstETH/WETH?

How DCA Bot Trades This Pair
DCA Bot operates entirely from your own Safe smart account on Arbitrum. The bot has a Smart Session permission that lets it call Uniswap V3 router (0xE59242…861564) for wstETH/WETH swaps — and nothing else. Funds never leave your Safe; you can revoke the session in one transaction at any time.
When the strategy triggers (according to your schedule for DCA, or your grid levels for grid trading), the bot constructs a Uniswap V3 swap, signs it with the session key, and submits it through an ERC-4337 bundler. The transaction lands as a normal on-chain swap — verifiable on the block explorer and indistinguishable from a manual swap, except that you didn't have to be at your computer.
