Quick start(02)

You need a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare or Backpack), some USDC, and a little SOL for transaction fees and account rent.

  1. 01Connect. Open Trade and connect your wallet. The app reads the program and the RedStone gateway; it keeps no record about you.
  2. 02Create your account. One transaction creates your UserAccount, the program's ledger entry for your wallet. You pay its rent once. It holds your balances, your paper and your rewards.
  3. 03Deposit USDC. Deposited USDC sits in the program's vault and shows as available. You can withdraw whatever is available at any time.
  4. 04Turn on one-click trading (optional). The app generates a session key in your browser and funds it with 0.01 SOL. Orders then go out without a wallet prompt. The key cannot withdraw. See One-click trading.
  5. 05Open a position. Pick SOL, BTC or ETH, long or short, a margin of at least $1 and a leverage from 2 to 100. The ticket shows your size, your bust price, the fees and the paper you would mint if you lost.
  6. 06Wait for the fill. Your request fills at the next 10-second grid point. The ticket counts down to it.
  7. 07Close. Closing is also a request and fills the same way. Your margin returns at once; profit is paid now or queued.
  8. 08Collect and withdraw. Paid claims, paper rewards and your balance are on the trade page. Collect them into available, then withdraw to your wallet.
