Quick Start

Start trading on Vertex with ease.

PreviousBrand AssetsNextOne-Click Trading

Last updated 5 months ago

You can follow these steps manually, or make use of the Getting Started tutorial in the bottom left of the app when you first connect.

Contents:

  • Connecting your wallet (and how to get one if you don’t).

  • Depositing assets.

  • Set up 1-Click Trading.

  • Start trading!

  • Bonus: name your account and add a picture.


Step 1. Connect Wallet & Onboard

-> Click on the [Connect Wallet] button on the app.

-> Select and connect your wallet.

-> Review the terms of use and click [Agree to Terms].

-> You're ready to start using Vertex.

If you don’t see your wallet, WalletConnect has 50+ wallet options.

Make sure you are connected to the right chain. Vertex is live on multiple chains. Refer to the switching chains tutorial for more information.

Don’t Have a Wallet?

Create One: Below you can find is a list of DeFi wallets to choose from:

https://www.alchemy.com/top/wallets

Use Passkeys Instead: Vertex has recently partnered with Exodus to offer a more friction-less DeFi experience — controlled by your passkeys (such as touch ID). Select the Passkeys option and learn more here:

https://www.exodus.com/support/en/articles/9451524-passkeys-wallet-faqs


Step 2. Deposit Assets to Trade

You need to deposit assets to start trading. Vertex is non-custodial, meaning you always retain control over your deposited assets.

All deposits on Vertex automatically earn interest because of Vertex's integrated money markets.

To Deposit Assets:

  • Click on any [Deposit] button which can be found on the following pages of the app:

    • Portfolio

    • Account Center (click on your wallet)

  • Select the deposit method:

    • Wallet: Deposit assets in your wallet on the connected chain.

    • Cross-Chain: Deposit assets from another chain.

    • Buy Crypto: Use fiat to buy crypto assets to your wallet. You must deposit from your wallet when the purchase is complete.

We will use the wallet option for this tutorial. Please follow the cross-chain deposit tutorial if you wish to use that method.

-> Select the asset to deposit by clicking on the asset drop-down menu.

-> Input the amount to deposit. You need to approve the asset before you deposit it.

-> Click the [Approve] button.

-> Select the amount of the asset to approve and sign in your wallet.

-> Wait until approval is confirmed.

-> Click on the [Deposit] button.

-> Sign the deposit transaction in your wallet.

Once the deposit is confirmed on-chain your new account balance / funds will be displayed on the app within a few seconds.


Step 3. Set up 1-Click-Trading

Sign just one signature for the entirety of your trading session.

1-Click-Trading (1CT) delivers a seamless trading experience without the hassles of signing every transaction.

It's similar to signing into a social media or bank account, except that you use your wallet to sign in.

Learn more about 1-Click-Trading here.

Initial Set-Up

-> Click on the [Set-Up 1CT] button on the trading page and your Account Center.

-> A pop-up will open with information.

-> Decide if you want to enable the "Remember Me" feature.

  • Enabled = You will not need to re-approve 1-Click Trading unless you manually disconnect your wallet from the app or clear your browser cache.

  • Disabled = you will be required to re-approve whenever you refresh, close the page, disconnect your wallet, or clear your cache.

-> Click on [Set-up 1CT]

-> Sign the transaction in your wallet.

Approving Future Sessions

You will need to approve 1-Click-Trading at the start of future trading sessions — similar to logging back into any app.

Whether you need to approve a session depends on your "Remember Me" settings.

  • Click on [Approve Trading]

  • Sign the transaction in your wallet.


Step 4. Start Trading!

Congrats, you are ready to start trading! Before starting, consider checking out the following tutorials:

  • Trading Basics


Bonus: Name Your Account & Add Pic

This optional step lets you name your account and set a profile picture for it. This will come in handy if you plan to make use of Vertex’s Multiple Accounts feature.

Name & Set a Picture:

  • Click on your wallet to open the Account Center.

  • Click on the [Account 1] drop-down menu.

  • Select Manage & Add Accounts.

  • Click on the ✏️ beside the account.

  • Name: Enter your desired account name such as ‘Perps Trading.’

  • Pic: Choose if you want the default, your wallet’s ENS, or a Vertex Avatar.
