# Quickstart

> Connect a wallet and make your first trade on DYXY in a few minutes.

DYXY is non-custodial. There is no account to create. You connect your own wallet, choose what you want to do, and sign each transaction yourself. Swaps, stocks, pools, staking and lending run straight from your wallet. Perps, Degen mode and trading bots trade from separate balances that you deposit into first, see [Deposits and balances](https://docs.dyxy.io/trade/perps/overview.md#deposits-and-balances).

## Before you start

You need three things:

* **A supported wallet.** Any popular EVM or Solana wallet works. See [Supported wallets](https://docs.dyxy.io/getting-started/wallets.md).
* **Assets on a supported network.** DYXY runs on eight networks. See [Supported networks](https://docs.dyxy.io/getting-started/networks.md).
* **A little native token for gas.** Every onchain action costs a network fee, paid in the network's native token (ETH, BNB, SOL, HYPE or AVAX).

> [!TIP]
>
> Keep a small gas buffer on every network you use. A swap with no gas left for the approval or the next transaction is the most common reason a first trade fails.

## Make your first swap

**1. Open the app**

Go to [app.dyxy.io](https://app.dyxy.io). Always check the address in your browser bar. DYXY only runs on the domains listed in [Official links](https://docs.dyxy.io/resources/links.md).

**2. Connect your wallet**

Click **Connect Wallet** in the top-right corner and pick your wallet. Approve the connection request in the wallet. Connecting only shares your public address. It never gives DYXY access to your funds.

**3. Choose a network**

Select the network you hold assets on from the network selector. DYXY switches your wallet to that network, or asks you to approve the switch.

**4. Open Swap**

Go to **Trade → Swap**. Pick the token you sell in the top field and the token you buy in the bottom field, then enter an amount.

**5. Review the quote**

DYXY shows the expected output, the minimum you receive after slippage, the price impact, the route and the fees. Adjust slippage in the settings if needed. See [Routing and slippage](https://docs.dyxy.io/trade/swap/routing-and-slippage.md).

**6. Approve and swap**

The first time you sell an ERC-20 token, your wallet asks you to approve it. After the approval, click **Swap** and confirm the transaction. The swap lands in your wallet as soon as the transaction confirms.
