Getting Started

Updated over a month ago

Getting started on Synthetix Exchange is easy, and can be done in just a few clicks. Before you begin, ensure you have everything you need:

  • A Wallet or Auth Method: Synthetix Exchange supports most Web3 wallets, such as Phantom or Metamask, etc.

  • Margin Collateral: You can deposit any of the supported collateral types on Ethereum Mainnet. If you do not have assets on Ethereum yet, you can purchase them on a centralized exchange, bridge from other networks, or swap from other assets on Ethereum.

  • A Reliable Network Connection: Perpetual Futures are a tool for active trading. Users should ensure they are able to monitor and manage positions in a 24/7 marketplace.

Connecting & Initial funding

To begin trading, you must connect a wallet, and provide an initial deposit to your account.

  • Select Connect Wallet in the top-right corner of the trading interface.

  • Your wallet must be funded with USDT before creating a futures account.

Creating a Trading Account

After your wallet is connected and funded, click Create Account in the top-right corner of the interface. This sets up your perpetual futures account, which is controlled by your wallet.
