Step 3 — Enable pairs/pools and load market context

Step 5 — Connect wallet and verify order entry

  1. Connect wallet for the target chain.

    Select your wallet for the target chain, then verify address, chain, and available gas balance before preparing an order.

  2. Inspect order-entry readiness.

    Check quote availability, health status, and submission readiness in the order panel.

  3. Submit a small validation order.

    Track lifecycle states from submit to final outcome using Figure 5 as the status reference.

Before you place bigger orders

  • Confirm Time & Sales is updating for your active pair/pool.
  • Start with a small validation order and confirm expected order/trade updates.
  • If market data appears stale, wait for recovery before increasing size.

First-trade checklist

  • Correct chain selected for wallet and market/pool.
  • Pair/pool explicitly enabled in Trading Pairs.
  • Quote and health indicators are fresh/ready.
  • Gas balance covers approval + swap path if required.
  • Initial test size is intentionally small.

Troubleshooting

  • No pool options: verify the pair is enabled and pool is selected.
  • Offline/stale view: switch to a known active pool/network and re-check status.
  • Submit blocked: verify wallet, quote, and fee readiness in Order Entry.

If blocked, submit an issue and include logs/diagnostics.
