Onboarding

Learn to trade on VDEX in four easy steps

Prerequisites

1. An EVM wallet

   • If you do not have a supported wallet (e.g., Rabby, MetaMask, WalletConnect, Ledger), you can easily create one at https://metamask.io/.

   • After downloading the extension and creating a wallet, you must store your seed phrase in a private and secure location. If anyone else knows your seed phrase, they will be able to steal your funds.

2. Collateral

   • Supported assets such as USDT, USDC, WETH or WBTC

   • Gas tokens on a supported chain (ETH on Ethereum or Arbitrum, BNB on BSC, or AVAX on Avalanche)
