Getting Started
Getting started on Vertex is simple.
This tutorial will cover the steps to start trading on Vertex.
You can follow these steps manually, or make use of the new Getting Started tutorial in the bottom left of the Vertex app after you first connect (only offered on desktop).
Vertex is a dApp, so you'll need to connect your crypto wallet to start using the DEX.
Connect Your Wallet:
-> Click on
Connect in the top right of the screen (or bottom for mobile). -> A 'Welcome to Vertex' screen will appear.
-> Press
Connect Wallet-> Select your crypto wallet from the selections.
-> Approve the connection.
-> Complete the onboarding pop-up.
The next step towards using Vertex is making your first deposit.
Deposits are collateral that can be used to trade and borrow. Deposits also automatically earn interest.
Make a Deposit
-> Click on
Deposit anywhere in the app (portfolio, wallet control centre, balance tables).-> Select the asset you want to deposit.
-> Enter the amount to deposit.
-> Click the
Approve button to first approve the use of the asset. -> Sign the approval transaction.
-> Now click on the
Deposit button where the approval was. -> Sign the transaction in your wallet.
- By depositing assets, you are depositing them into the Vertex Protocol open-source smart contracts on Arbitrum.
- Vertex is non-custodial, meaning you maintain control over your assets. Vertex Protocol cannot take custody of user assets.
- Assets begin earning interest automatically via Vertex's integrated money market.
Now that you have connected to and deposited on Vertex, you'll need to choose a trading mode.
There are 2 trading modes on Vertex:
- One-Click-Trading (1CT): Sign one approval transaction at the start of your trading session. You don't need to sign any further actions until you end the session
- Sign Every Transaction: Every action while using Vertex will require a signature.
-> Click on your wallet in the top right to open the control centre.
-> Once the control centre is opened, click on the
One Click Trading button. -> Select your trading mode.
-> Approve the selection in your wallet.
When turning ON 1CT, you have the option to enable the “Remember Me” feature. If enabled, the "Remember Me” feature means that you won't need to re-approve the session after refreshing the page or leaving the app. You will only trigger a re-approval if you disconnect from Vertex.
1CT: Turned ON
If 1CT is turned ON, then the icon in your wallet (desktop) and in the control centre will be purple.
