Getting started

Five steps from a fresh browser to your first trade. All you need is a little SOL.

1. Sign in

Use Sign in at the top of the terminal. Two ways work today:

• Sign in with a Solana walletLive
  Phantom or Solflare signs one message to prove the address is yours. Recommended: a few actions, like exporting a key or making a permanent launch choice, need a wallet signature.
• Email and password sign-inLive
  Fine for trading. Password-reset emails aren’t being sent yet, so keep your password somewhere safe.

2. Pick the wallet you’ll trade from

1. In-app wallet (fastest): on Wallets, create one. Trades go through without a pop-up each time, and orders can fire while your tab is closed.
2. Your own wallet: connect Phantom or Solflare and approve each trade in it. Chartist never holds that key.

Custody & keys explains exactly who holds what in each case.

3. Fund it

Copy the wallet’s address and send SOL to it from an exchange or another wallet. Leave a little SOL behind after each trade: every Solana transaction pays a small network fee, and the first buy of a coin opens a token account that needs a small deposit (rent).

4. Find a coin

Discover shows coins as they launch, coins close to graduating, and coins that already have. Or paste a mint address into search. Opening a coin takes you to its token page.

5. Trade

On the token page, pick Buy or Sell, enter an amount and confirm. The trade settles on-chain; your position, cost basis and P&L update on Positions.
