Get trading in 4 steps

You can go from zero to your first trade in under five minutes. Here is exactly how.

---

Step 1 — Go to onchain.cc

Open your browser and navigate to https://app.onchain.cc/. Then click on Start trading button.

Warning: Always use the official domain — https://onchain.cc. Do not use links from DMs, social posts, or search ads. Bookmark the site after your first visit.

Step 2 — Connect with Privy

Choose how you want to authenticate in onchain.cc: using your external EVM wallet address or email address. If you have a Google account (Gmail) you can use it as login credential.

Info: onchain.cc uses Privy as its authentication layer. Privy is a non-custodial wallet infrastructure provider — it handles secure key management without giving any third party access to your funds. You remain in full control of your assets at all times. Learn more about Privy.

Step 3 — Fund your wallet

Once connected, your wallet address is visible in the top navigation. Send funds to that address from a CEX withdrawal, another wallet, or a fiat on-ramp.

Info: Each chain charges its own small gas fee, paid in that chain's native token (SOL on Solana, ETH on Ethereum, etc.). Keep a small balance of the native token on whichever chain you plan to trade on — for example, ~0.05 SOL on Solana — to avoid failed transactions.

Step 4 — Find a token and trade

You have three options:

• Degen Feed (Trenches) — browse trending tokens, new launches, and community picks directly from the terminal's discovery feed. Solana-only for now — see Degen Feed for scope.
• Paste a contract address (CA) — if you already know the token, paste its contract address into the search bar to pull up its chart and trading panel immediately. Works across all supported chains.
• Use Discover to find trending tokens based on volume, market cap or other criteria.

Select the token, set your size, review slippage, and hit Buy.

Success: You are live. Your trade routes through aggregated DEX liquidity on the chain you're trading at 0.15% — the lowest fee in the market.
