# onchain.cc — complete documentation Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/index.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/ # Welcome to onchain.cc onchain.cc is a multi-chain self-custody trading terminal built for traders who take execution seriously. Trade spot, perps, token launches, and prediction markets from one interface — with cross-chain swaps across 13 chains, professional charts, deep liquidity routing, and a competitive layer that rewards the trading you already do. You never hand custody of your assets to anyone. It is built and backed by Bitso, Latin America's largest licensed crypto exchange — the backing of a regulated exchange behind a product that feels native to DeFi. **Three reasons traders choose onchain.cc:** - **Fees pay you back** — 25% to 50% of the onchain.cc fee on every product returns to you as USDC cashback, set by your Colosseum rank and settled on-chain in seconds. - **Five products, one terminal** — swaps, spot, perps, token launches, and prediction markets share one login, one portfolio, and seamless transfers between products. No tab-juggling between platforms. - **Colosseum** — a live competitive layer with real USDC prize pools. Every trade earns points; points become rank, rewards, and standing. *** ## The Four Products | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Spot](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview.md) | Order-book spot trading on a deep universe of USDC pairs, powered by Hyperliquid.

Here is exactly how. *** ### Step 1 — Go to onchain.cc Open your browser and navigate to [onchain.cc](https://onchain.cc). ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/getting-started-quick-start-1.png) *The onchain.cc landing page* > **Warning** > > Always use the official domain — **onchain.cc**. Do not use links from DMs, social posts, or search ads. Bookmark the site after your first visit. *** ### Step 2 — Sign in Click **Log in** and choose how you want to authenticate: - **Google** — one-click sign-in with your Google account - **Email** — enter your address and confirm the 6-digit code - **Wallet** — connect an existing Solana or EVM wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, MetaMask, Rabby, and other supported wallets) Authentication is handled by **Privy**, a non-custodial wallet infrastructure provider. Signing in with Google or email gives you embedded self-custody wallets — one for Solana, one for EVM chains — that only you control. You can view both, and export their private keys, on the **Wallets** page at any time. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/getting-started-quick-start-2.png) *Sign in with email, Google, or a wallet* *** ### Step 3 — Add funds Open **Add funds** from the header. You have two routes: - **Cash** — buy USDC directly with a card or mobile pay (Apple Pay / Google Pay, where available) in a secure checkout. Minimum $20. - **Crypto** — deposit to your wallet address (Solana or any supported EVM chain), or connect an external wallet like Phantom or MetaMask and pull funds across in a guided flow. One thing to know up front: your **wallet** funds Swap and Trenches directly, while **Perps/Spot** and **Predictions** each have their own balance you fund via **Transfer**. See [Funding Your Account](https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/funding.md) for the full picture. *** ### Step 4 — Pick a product and trade - **Know the token?** Paste its contract address (CA) or ticker into the search bar to pull up its chart and trading panel. - **Hunting launches?** Open **Trenches** for the live scanner of new and graduating tokens. - **Trading majors?** Open **Perps/Spot** for the order-book terminal. - **Have a view on an event?** Open **Predictions** and buy Yes or No. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/getting-started-quick-start-6.png) *A token trading page — chart, stats, and trade panel* Your first trade also enrolls you in [Colosseum](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/overview.md) — points, rank, and prize-pool standing start accumulating automatically. *** > **Success** > > You are live. Every trade routes through aggregated liquidity with some of the lowest fees in the market — and every trade earns Colosseum points. *** Next up: [Key Concepts & Glossary](https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/key-concepts.md) — or jump straight into the product docs for [Spot](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview.md), [Perps](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/overview.md), [Trenches](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/overview.md), or [Predictions](https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/overview.md). --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/funding.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/funding/ # Funding Your Account Everything on onchain.cc runs from your self-custody wallets, with three products keeping their own trading balance: your **wallet** (used by Swap and Trenches), **Perps/Spot** (one shared Hyperliquid balance), and **Predictions**. This page covers getting money in, moving it between products, and getting it out. *** ## Adding funds Open **Add funds** from the header balance menu or the Portfolio page. Two tabs: ### Cash — buy with card or mobile pay - Buy **USDC** directly in a secure checkout — card, or Apple Pay / Google Pay where available — delivered to your wallet on **Solana** or **Base** (you pick the delivery chain). - **Minimum purchase: $20.** Quick amounts from $50 to $1,000, or enter your own. - Pay in USD by default; other major currencies are supported in the checkout. - After purchase, the terminal watches for the funds to arrive and confirms with a notification — card settlements typically land within minutes. ### Crypto — deposit or pull from another wallet - **Deposit** — copy your address or scan the QR code. Solana and all supported EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB, Linea, Scroll, Gnosis, Berachain, Robinhood, Arc) are accepted. - **Connect wallet** — connect Phantom, MetaMask, or another external wallet and transfer funds across in a guided flow without leaving the terminal. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/getting-started-quick-start-5.png) *Depositing crypto to your wallet address* *** ## Moving funds between products Use **Transfer** from the header balance menu or the Portfolio page. Transfers always run between your wallet and a product balance: | Product balance | Used by | Deposit minimum | Withdrawal | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Perps/Spot** | The Hyperliquid order-book terminal. Perps and Spot share one USDC balance — there is nothing to move between them. | $10 | Minimum $2, $1 Hyperliquid fee; arrives as USDC on Arbitrum | | **Predictions** | Prediction markets. | $2 | Arrives as USDC.e on Polygon, 1:1, no onchain.cc fee | Two deposit speeds for Perps/Spot: - **Instant** — arrives in seconds; routing fee may vary. - **Standard** — cheaper; takes a few minutes. You can fund from any supported chain — the terminal routes and bridges automatically. *** ## Gas fees Trades on Swap and Trenches settle on-chain, so the network charges a small gas fee in the chain's native token (SOL on Solana, ETH on Ethereum, and so on) — separate from the onchain.cc fee. - On most supported EVM chains, **gas is sponsored** — you can trade without holding the native token. - On **Solana, Ethereum, and BNB**, keep a small native-token balance for gas or transactions will fail. On Solana a few thousandths of a SOL covers a trade; hold a little more than you think you need. Perps, Spot, and Predictions trade against product balances, so individual orders there don't need gas from your wallet. *** ## Getting money out Everything flows back to your wallet, and from there anywhere you like: 1. **Withdraw product balances** — Perps/Spot withdrawals arrive as USDC on Arbitrum; Predictions withdrawals as USDC.e on Polygon. 2. **Send from your wallet** — use **Send** on the Portfolio or Wallets page to transfer any asset to any address, including an exchange account. There is no in-app cash-out to a bank card yet — to convert back to fiat, send funds to your exchange of choice (Bitso included) and withdraw from there. *** > **Note** > > Withdrawals from product balances go to your own wallet — onchain.cc never holds your funds at any step. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/wallets.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/wallets/ # Wallets The **Wallets** page (in the navigation menu) is where your self-custody wallets live. *** ## Your two wallets Signing in with Google or email gives you two embedded self-custody wallets, created and secured through Privy: - **Solana wallet** — used by Trenches and Solana swaps - **EVM wallet** — one address across all supported EVM chains If you signed in with an existing external wallet instead, that wallet plays the same role. Either way, only you control the keys — onchain.cc can never move your funds. *** ## What you can do here - **Copy your address** — for deposits from an exchange or another wallet. - **Send** — transfer any asset to any address. - **Export your private key** — a guided export puts the key for either embedded wallet in your hands, so your wallets are portable to Phantom, MetaMask, or anywhere else. Do this once and store the keys securely offline. *** > **Warning** > > Your private keys and seed phrases are yours alone. No onchain.cc team member will ever ask for them — anyone who does is a scammer. Anyone holding your exported key controls that wallet completely. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/key-concepts.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/key-concepts/ # Key Concepts & Glossary onchain.cc has its own vocabulary — some of it standard crypto terminology, some of it specific to the terminal. This page covers both. *** ## Products | Term | Definition | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Spot** | The order-book spot trading product, powered by Hyperliquid. A deep universe of USDC pairs with market, limit, and TWAP orders. Shares one USDC balance with Perps. | | **Perps** | Perpetual futures, powered by Hyperliquid.

Trading earns points; points build rank and standing on prize-pool leaderboards. | *** ## Trading terms | Term | Definition | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **CA** | Contract Address — the unique on-chain identifier for a token. Paste a CA into the search bar to pull up any token instantly. | | **Self-custody** | You hold your own private keys. No exchange or third party can access, freeze, or move your funds. onchain.cc is fully self-custody. | | **Privy** | The authentication and wallet infrastructure behind sign-in. Supports Google, email, and wallet login, and manages embedded wallets non-custodially. | | **Embedded wallet** | The self-custody Solana and EVM wallets attached to your account when you sign in with Google or email. View them — and export their keys — on the Wallets page. | | **Carbium** | The Solana routing engine behind Swap. It splits and routes orders across DEX liquidity to get the best available price. | | **Slippage** | The difference between the price you expect and the price you get at execution.

Start with the [Quick Start Guide](https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/quick-start.md). --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview/ # Spot Overview Spot is onchain.cc's order-book spot trading terminal, powered by **Hyperliquid**. Trade a deep universe of USDC pairs — majors, memes, AI, DeFi, and more — with a real order book, professional charts, and market, limit, and TWAP orders. Spot lives under the **Perps/Spot** tab alongside perpetual futures. The two share one interface family and **one USDC balance** — fund it once and trade both. *** ## What makes Spot different from Swap onchain.cc has two ways to buy a token, built for different jobs: | | Spot | [Swap](https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/overview.md) | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Execution | Central limit order book (Hyperliquid) | DEX aggregation across on-chain liquidity | | Order types | Market, limit (GTC/IOC/post-only), TWAP | Instant swap | | Pairs | Curated USDC pairs | Any routable token on 13 chains | | Balance | Shared Perps/Spot USDC balance | Your wallet | | Best for | Actively trading liquid markets with price control | Converting between any two tokens, cross-chain | If you want to work an order — rest a bid, scale out with a TWAP, pay maker fees — use Spot. If you want token A to become token B right now, use Swap. *** ## The markets list The Spot markets screen shows the tradeable universe with live prices, 24h change, volume, and category filters (Trending, Memes, AI, L1, L2, DeFi, Gaming, and more), plus your Favorites and a Recently Listed highlight. Listings are curated for quality: USDC-quoted pairs with real trading volume. Many symbols are Hyperliquid's bridged versions of majors (BTC, ETH, SOL and others) shown under their canonical names. *** ## Funding Spot Spot trades from the shared **Perps/Spot USDC balance**: 1. Click **Transfer** on the Spot account panel (or in the header balance menu). 2. Fund from any supported chain — the terminal routes it automatically. **Instant** mode lands in seconds; **Standard** is cheaper and takes a few minutes. 3. Minimum deposit $10. Withdrawals (minimum $2, $1 Hyperliquid fee) arrive as USDC on Arbitrum. Because the balance is shared, margin used by open perps positions reduces what's available to spend on Spot, and vice versa. The account panel shows total and available at all times. See [Funding Your Account](https://onchain.cc/docs/getting-started/funding.md) for the full flow. *** ## What you pay Each order pays Hyperliquid's trading fee for your account plus a small Onchain service fee, combined into the single rate shown in the order panel before you confirm. Maker orders pay less than taker orders. See [Spot Fees](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/fees.md). *** > **Note** > > Spot involves real order-book execution — partial fills, resting orders, and maker/taker mechanics. If you're new to order books, start with small sizes and market orders, and read [Order Types](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/order-types.md) before using limit or TWAP orders. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/order-types.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/order-types/ # Order Types Spot supports three order types: **Market**, **Limit**, and **TWAP**. Pick them from the tabs at the top of the order entry panel. *** ## Market Executes immediately against the order book at the best available price. - **Slippage cap** — market orders carry a maximum slippage setting (default 0.5%, adjustable from 0.01% up to 20%). If the book moves beyond your cap before the order lands, the unfilled remainder is cancelled instead of filling at a worse price. - Size can be entered in the base asset or in USD, or as a percentage of your balance. Use market orders when speed matters more than price. *** ## Limit Rests on the book at your chosen price. Three time-in-force options: | TIF | Behaviour | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **GTC** (Good til canceled) | Rests on the book until it fills or you cancel it. | | **IOC** (Immediate or cancel) | Fills whatever it can immediately at your price or better; cancels the rest. | | **ALO** (Add liquidity only / post-only) | Joins the book without ever matching immediately — cancelled if it would cross. Guarantees you pay the maker rate. | Use limit orders when you want price control. A resting limit order that fills pays the **maker** fee — the cheapest way to trade on Spot. *** ## TWAP A TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) order splits a large order into small slices executed steadily over a duration you choose, reducing the market impact of sizing in or out. - **Duration:** 5 minutes to 24 hours. Presets for 15m / 30m / 1h / 4h; default 30 minutes. - **Randomize timing** (on by default): varies the spacing of the slices so the pattern is harder to front-run. - **Minimum TWAP size: $100.** The TWAP runs in the background — you can watch progress and cancel the remainder at any time from the open orders panel. *** ## Order minimums and precision - Minimum order value: **$10**. - Prices are quoted to 5 significant figures; size precision varies by asset. The order panel enforces both for you. *** ## After you place an order - **Open orders** — resting limit orders and running TWAPs appear in the orders panel, where you can cancel them individually or all at once. - **Fills** — executions appear in your trade history and update your balances immediately. - **Positions** — spot holdings appear in the Spot tab of [Portfolio](https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/portfolio-view.md), alongside total and available balance. *** > **Note** > > Spot has no stop-loss or take-profit orders — those are perps features. If you need conditional exits, see [Perps → How to Close a Position](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close.md). --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/fees.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/fees/ # Spot Fees Spot fees are simple: **no onchain.cc fee on buys, sells pay the onchain.cc fee — and cashback applies.** Hyperliquid's own spot fee applies on both sides, on top. - **Buying:** no onchain.cc fee (Hyperliquid's own spot fee still applies). - **Selling:** **0.25% maker / 0.35% taker** onchain.cc fee, on top of Hyperliquid's spot fee, shown combined in the order panel before you confirm. A resting limit order (or post-only ALO order) that fills pays the maker rate; market orders and limit orders that fill immediately pay taker. - **Cashback:** 25–50% of the onchain.cc fee comes back by [Colosseum rank](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md), claimable in USDC. Hyperliquid's fee is not included. The order panel's combined rate is always the source of truth for your account. *** ## How to pay less - **Make, don't take.** A resting limit order (or a post-only ALO order) that fills pays the cheaper maker rate. - **Rank up.** A higher Colosseum rank returns more of the onchain.cc fee as [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md). *** ## What Spot fees are *not* - **Not the swap fee.** [Swap](https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/fees.md) and [Trenches](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/trading.md) have their own schedule — Spot runs on Hyperliquid's order book with its own fee structure. - **No gas.** Spot orders trade against your Perps/Spot balance, so there's no per-order network fee. - **No deposit fee.** Funding Perps/Spot is free apart from routing costs shown in the transfer dialog; withdrawals carry Hyperliquid's flat $1 fee. *** > **Note** > > Fees are deducted from the trade at execution and itemized in your fills history; the cashback on them accrues live in the [Cashback panel](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md). --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/overview.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/overview/ # Perps Overview Perpetual futures (perps) let you trade long or short with leverage — no expiry date, no rolling contracts. You hold the position until you close it, or until liquidation forces it shut. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/perps-overview-1.png) *The perps terminal — chart, order book, and order entry* *** ## Where Perps Live Perps share the **Perps/Spot** terminal with [Spot](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview.md). The two products also share **one USDC balance** — fund it once via the **Transfer** flow and both can use it. Margin locked by open perps positions reduces what's spendable on Spot, and the account panel shows total and available at all times. Beyond crypto, the perps market list also includes **builder-deployed markets for stocks, commodities, forex, and indices** — marked with a badge in the markets list. These trade like any other perp in the terminal — long or short, with leverage — but track non-crypto assets; each market's leverage cap and specifics are shown on the market itself. *** ## Spot vs. Perps | | Spot | Perps | | ------------ | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | What you own | The asset itself | A leveraged contract on the price | | Expiry | None | None (perpetual) | | Leverage | No | Yes — set per market, up to 40x on majors | | Direction | Long only (you own it) | Long or short | | Costs | Maker/taker fee | Maker/taker fee + hourly funding | | Settlement | Fills to your balance | Continuous, with funding payments | With perps you never hold the asset — you hold a contract that tracks its price. You can go long (profit if price rises) or short (profit if price falls). *** ## Powered by Hyperliquid The onchain.cc perps product is built on Hyperliquid's execution layer. You get the onchain.cc interface and experience — Hyperliquid handles order matching, mark pricing, funding, and settlement under the hood. You do not need a separate Hyperliquid account. *** ## Key Concepts Before opening a position, understand these four mechanics. Each has its own page with full detail. | Concept | What it means | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Leverage & Margin](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/leverage.md) | Leverage multiplies exposure; margin is the collateral that backs the trade. | | [Funding](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md#funding) | Hourly payments between longs and shorts that keep the perp price anchored to spot. | | [Liquidation](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/leverage.md#liquidation) | Automatic close when your margin falls below the maintenance threshold. | | [Fees](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md) | Hyperliquid's volume-tiered maker/taker rate plus a small Onchain service fee. | *** > **Note** > > Perps involve leverage and carry significantly higher risk than spot trading. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. New to perps? Start at 1–2x leverage while you learn the mechanics. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-open.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-open/ # How to Open a Position Opening a perps position takes under a minute once your account is funded. Work through each step in order — the order summary shows you the full picture before any funds move. *** ## Steps ### 1. Go to the Perps Terminal Open **Perps/Spot** from the navigation and select a perps market. ### 2. Fund Your Balance Perps trade from the shared **Perps/Spot USDC balance**. Click **Transfer**, fund from any supported chain (minimum $10 — the terminal routes it automatically), and you're ready. You can withdraw unused balance back to your wallet at any time from the same flow. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/perps-how-to-open-2.png) *Funding the shared Perps/Spot balance* ### 3. Select the Market Use the market selector to choose what you want to trade. Each market has its own maximum leverage — majors like BTC and ETH support the highest, smaller caps less. Builder-deployed markets (stocks, commodities, forex, indices) carry a badge. ### 4. Choose Your Direction - **Long** — you profit if the price rises - **Short** — you profit if the price falls ### 5. Choose a Margin Mode | Mode | Behaviour | When to use | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Isolated** (default) | Locks a specific amount of collateral to this position only. A liquidation here cannot touch your other positions or free balance. | When you want a single position's risk fully ringfenced. | | **Cross** | Shares collateral across all your cross positions. Unrealised PnL on winners offsets margin demand on losers. | Managing multiple correlated positions with capital efficiency. | You can't change the margin mode while a position is open in that market — close it first. ### 6. Set Your Leverage Use the leverage control or type a value. The maximum is market-specific and shown on the slider. > **Warning** > > Higher leverage means your liquidation price is closer to your entry. A 10x position can be liquidated by roughly a 10% adverse move; a 40x position by \~2.5%. Most experienced traders use 2–5x. ### 7. Enter Your Position Size Enter either the **notional size** (total position value) or the **margin amount** (collateral to put up). Required initial margin is `position size ÷ leverage`, and the panel shows both values alongside the USDC requirement. Minimum order value is $10. ### 8. Choose Your Order Type | Order type | How it works | When to use | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Market** | Executes immediately at the best available price, within your slippage tolerance. | You prioritise speed over price. | | **Limit (GTC)** | Rests on the book at your price until filled or cancelled. | Price control; willing to wait. | | **Limit (IOC)** | Fills immediately up to your limit; cancels any remainder. | Price control without leaving an order resting. | | **Limit (ALO / post-only)** | Adds to the book and never executes immediately — guarantees the maker rate. | Providing liquidity at the cheapest fee. | | **Stop Market** | A market order that triggers when the mark price hits your trigger level. | Breakout entries and defensive exits. | | **Stop Limit** | A limit order that activates at your trigger price. | Trigger-based entries with a fill cap. | | **Take Profit Market / Limit** | The mirror of stops — triggers when price moves in your favour. | Automated profit-taking. | | **TWAP** | Splits the order into slices over 5 minutes to 24 hours, with optional randomized timing. Minimum notional scales with duration (roughly $10 per minute). | Sizing into or out of a large position with minimal impact. | A **Reduce Only** option restricts an order to closing existing exposure — it can never increase your position. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/perps-how-to-open-1.png) *The perps order entry panel* ### 9. Review the Order Summary Before confirming, check: - **Entry price** — where the position opens - **Liquidation price** — where it would be forcibly closed - **Required margin** — USDC locked as collateral - **Estimated fees** — the combined maker/taker rate for this order (see [Fees](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md)) ### 10. (Optional) Attach Take-Profit and Stop-Loss You can attach TP/SL orders during entry — they arm only once the entry order fills, and they trigger off the **mark price**. See [How to Close a Position](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close.md). ### 11. Confirm Click **Confirm** to submit. The position appears in the Positions panel once it fills. *** ## After Opening - Set or verify your **take-profit** and **stop-loss** — see [How to Close a Position](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close.md). - Monitor the **funding rate** — see [Fees](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md#funding) for how it affects your holding cost. - Watch your **liquidation price** — especially in volatile markets. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close/ # How to Close a Position Closing a position locks in your PnL and releases the margin back to your balance. You can close fully, partially, or automate closes with take-profit and stop-loss orders. *** ## Steps ### 1. Open the Positions Panel All open positions are listed with live PnL, entry price, mark price, and liquidation price. ### 2. Click Close Choose: - **Full close** — closes the entire position - **Partial close** — enter a percentage or a specific size, leaving the remainder open Partial closes are useful for taking profit on part of a winner while keeping exposure on the rest. ### 3. Choose Market or Limit Close | Close type | How it works | Fee impact | | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | **Market** | Executes immediately at the best price, within your slippage tolerance. | Pays the taker rate. | | **Limit** | Rests at your target exit price; fills when the market reaches it. | Pays the maker rate — but may not fill. | ### 4. Confirm Review the closing price, estimated fee, and net PnL, then confirm. Closing a position also cancels any TP/SL triggers attached to it. *** ## Understanding Your PnL Realised PnL is calculated at close: **Long:** `(Exit price − Entry price) × Size − Fees − Net funding paid` **Short:** `(Entry price − Exit price) × Size − Fees − Net funding paid` Net funding is the running total of hourly payments paid (or received) during the life of the trade — see [Fees → Funding](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md#funding). > **Success** > > Closing a position locks in PnL. Unrealised PnL becomes realised and is credited to your balance as soon as the close fills. *** ## Automating Closes: Take-Profit and Stop-Loss Attach TP/SL when you open a position, or add them later from the Positions panel. Both trigger off the **mark price** rather than the last trade — this prevents accidental triggers from a single rogue print. - **Attached at entry** — the TP/SL arms only once your entry order actually fills. - **On an open position** — by default the full position closes at market when the trigger fires, within your global slippage tolerance. Triggers auto-cancel once the position closes. ### Market vs. Limit TP/SL | Variant | Behaviour | Trade-off | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Market TP/SL** | Triggers a market order, capped by your slippage setting. | Highest fill probability; slippage can matter in fast markets. | | **Limit TP/SL** | Triggers a limit order at a price you specify. | Tightest price control; may rest unfilled if price gaps past your limit. | A common pattern: set a **stop loss** on your side of the liquidation price so you exit on your own terms, with capital remaining, rather than leaving it to the protocol. *** > **Note** > > A stop-loss placed before your liquidation price is the single biggest risk-management win on perps. See [Leverage & Margin](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/leverage.md) for how liquidation works. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/leverage.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/leverage/ # Leverage & Margin Leverage is the defining feature — and the defining risk — of perps trading. This page explains how it works mechanically, how margin and liquidation behave, and how to keep yourself out of trouble. *** ## What Leverage Does Leverage multiplies your market exposure relative to the collateral you post. **Example:** At 10x, $100 of margin controls a $1,000 position. - The asset rises 10% → your position gains $100 — a 100% return on margin. - The asset falls 10% → your position loses $100 — your entire margin is gone. Upside and downside are amplified equally. ### Leverage Limits Maximum leverage is set **per market** by Hyperliquid — up to 40x on the deepest majors like BTC and ETH, lower on mid-caps, and as low as 3x on newer or thinner markets. The order panel shows the current maximum for the selected market and caps your setting to it. *** ## Margin Margin is the USDC collateral that backs your leveraged position. ### Initial Margin The collateral required to open a position: `Initial margin = position size ÷ leverage` Higher leverage reduces the initial margin needed but increases liquidation risk. ### Maintenance Margin The minimum margin required to keep the position open — set by Hyperliquid per market, at half the margin required at that market's maximum leverage. For example, on a 20x-max market the minimum initial margin is 5%, so maintenance margin is 2.5%. If your equity falls below it, [liquidation](#liquidation) is triggered. ### Margin Modes: Isolated vs. Cross | Mode | Collateral pool | Effect of liquidation | Best for | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | **Isolated** (default) | Locked to one position only | Cannot touch your other positions or free balance | Ringfenced risk on a specific trade | | **Cross** | Shared across all your cross positions, plus unrealised PnL | A liquidation can affect the entire cross account | Capital efficiency; coordinated positions | You select the mode before opening; changing it requires closing the position in that market first. ### Adding or Removing Margin - **Isolated positions** — add or remove margin from the Positions panel after opening, which moves the liquidation price further from (or closer to) the current price. Adding is capped by your available balance. - **Cross positions** — margin is managed at the account level rather than per position. *** ## Liquidation Every leveraged position has a liquidation price, shown before you confirm the order and live on the position afterwards. If the **mark price** reaches it, the position is closed automatically and the margin backing it is lost. ### Mark Price, Not Last Trade Liquidations trigger on the **mark price**, which Hyperliquid derives from external exchange prices and the order book. This protects against being liquidated by a single thin print or a brief wick — though in high volatility the mark can still differ noticeably from the last trade. ### How Liquidation Runs Liquidation is handled by Hyperliquid's protocol: the position is sent to the order book to close, with large positions unwound in stages, and a backstop liquidator takes over if the book can't absorb it. There is no separate clearance fee — the cost of liquidation is the loss of the margin backing the position. ### Leverage vs. Liquidation Distance (long, simplified) | Entry | Leverage | Approx. liquidation price | | ----- | -------- | ------------------------- | | $100 | 2x | \~$51 | | $100 | 5x | \~$81 | | $100 | 10x | \~$91 | | $100 | 20x | \~$96 | | $100 | 40x | \~$98 | Exact liquidation price depends on the market's maintenance margin and accrued funding — the live value is always shown on your position. *** ## Reducing Liquidation Risk 1. **Use lower leverage.** The single most effective control. 2–5x leaves real room to breathe. 2. **Add margin to an isolated position.** Lowers effective leverage and pushes the liquidation price away from market. 3. **Set a stop-loss before your liquidation price.** Triggers off the mark price, exits on your terms, and preserves capital. See [How to Close a Position](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/how-to-close.md). 4. **Watch funding.** Funding settles hourly (see [Fees → Funding](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md#funding)). Sustained adverse funding eats into margin and brings the liquidation price closer over time. *** > **Note** > > Your liquidation price is live — it reacts to mark price, accrued funding, and margin changes. Check it before walking away from a position, especially in volatile markets. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees/ # Fees & Funding There are two distinct cost types on perps: **trading fees** (charged per order) and **funding** (exchanged hourly between longs and shorts while a position is open). Understanding both is essential before sizing a position. *** ## Trading Fees Every order pays a combined rate made of two parts: 1. **Hyperliquid's trading fee** — the exchange's maker/taker rate for your account. Hyperliquid tiers these rates by rolling trading volume, so active accounts pay less, and maker orders always pay less than taker orders. 2. **Onchain service fee** — a small flat markup of **0.05%**. The order panel shows the **combined taker and maker rate you'll actually pay** on every order before you confirm — that display is the source of truth for your account. The 0.05% onchain.cc service fee earns **25–50% [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md)** by Colosseum rank; Hyperliquid's own fee is not included. ### Maker vs. Taker - **Maker** — your order added liquidity to the book. Limit orders that rest and later fill pay the maker rate. - **Taker** — your order removed liquidity. Market orders, and limit orders that match immediately, pay the taker rate. If you want to enter right now, you pay taker. If you're patient and rest a limit order, you pay maker when (and if) it fills. ### No Fee on Liquidation There is no separate clearance fee on liquidations. The cost of liquidation is the loss of the margin backing the position, not an additional charge. *** ## Funding Funding is **not** a fee paid to the exchange — it is a peer-to-peer payment exchanged between longs and shorts to keep the perp price anchored to the underlying spot price. ### Direction of Payment | Perp price vs. spot | Funding sign | Direction | | ------------------- | ------------ | ---------------- | | Perp above spot | Positive | Longs pay shorts | | Perp below spot | Negative | Shorts pay longs | This incentivises traders to take the side that closes the gap. ### Effect on Your PnL | You are | Funding | Outcome | | ------- | -------- | ----------- | | Long | Positive | You pay | | Long | Negative | You receive | | Short | Positive | You receive | | Short | Negative | You pay | ### Settlement Cadence Funding settles **every hour**, on the hour — the terminal shows the current rate and a countdown to the next settlement on every market. If you close before the next settlement, you don't pay or receive funding for that period. The rate itself is set by Hyperliquid from the gap between the perp price and the spot oracle price; the annualized equivalent is shown in the rate tooltip. *** ## How These Costs Stack Up For a multi-day hold, funding — not the trading fee — is usually the dominant cost. A persistent 0.01% per hour compounds to roughly 7% per month. Always check the current funding rate (and its sign) before opening a long-duration position, and remember it can flip. Your full funding history is available in the Funding tab of the perps portfolio, and funding paid or received is included in each position's PnL. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/overview.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/overview/ # Trenches Overview Trenches is onchain.cc's token-launch product — a live scanner and trading surface for new tokens on Solana and Robinhood Chain, from the first block of a launch through graduation and beyond. If your game is catching runners early, this is where you live. *** ## What Trenches Covers Trenches tracks launches across **three launchpads**: | Launchpad | What it is | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **PumpFun** | The highest-volume Solana memecoin launchpad. Tokens graduate to PumpSwap. | | **LaunchLab** | Raydium's launchpad. Tokens graduate to Raydium pools. | | **Meteora** | Meteora's dynamic bonding curve launches. Tokens graduate to Meteora pools. | Every token shows a launchpad badge on its logo, and you can filter any view to the launchpads you care about. Trading works the same way across all three — Trenches handles each venue's mechanics under the hood, both before and after graduation. > **Note** > > Trenches covers **Solana** — the three launchpads above — and **Robinhood Chain** launches. *** ## The Tabs | Tab | What it does | | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Live** | The real-time scanner: three columns — **New**, **Bonding**, **Graduated** — streaming launches as they happen. | | **Explorer** | The filtered browser: Pumping / All / New / Gainers / Watchlist views with deep filters. | | **Positions** | Your Trenches bags — value, open positions, unrealized PnL, quick sell. | | **Tracker** | Wallet tracking: follow up to 50 wallets and get live alerts on their moves. | | **Alerts** | The live feed of signals — graduations, whale buys, dev exits, volume spikes, and your tracked wallets' activity. On desktop this lives in the right rail; on mobile it's its own tab. | *** ## The Typical Flow 1. **Spot it** — a token appears in the Live scanner or Explorer, or one of your tracked wallets buys in. 2. **Vet it** — check the holder-analysis chips (dev / sniper / bundler / insider), bonding progress, volume, and socials. See [Finding Tokens](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/discovery.md). 3. **Buy it** — one tap on **SNIPE** with your saved preset: amount, slippage, and priority settings pre-configured. See [Trading on Trenches](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/trading.md). 4. **Manage it** — watch the position in the Positions tab, track the chart, and sell in one tap when it's time. *** ## Fees Trenches trades pay the same onchain.cc fee as [Swap](https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/fees.md) — **0.50%**, with **25–50% of it returned as [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md)** by Colosseum rank. Trenches also earns rank points at the highest rate on the terminal (0.75 per $1 traded). Launchpads charge their own protocol fees on bonding-curve trades, which are part of the quoted price, and standard Solana gas and priority fees apply. *** > **Warning** > > Launchpad tokens are the highest-risk corner of crypto. Most launches never graduate, and many lose most of their value within hours. Trade only with capital you are willing to lose entirely. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/discovery.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/discovery/ # Finding Tokens Trenches gives you two discovery surfaces — the **Live** scanner for real-time launches and the **Explorer** for filtered browsing — plus the signal layer that tells you what's worth a second look. *** ## Live — the scanner Three columns stream tokens in real time as they move through the launch lifecycle: | Column | What's in it | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **New** | Just launched — the freshest tokens on the curve | | **Bonding** | Progressing along the bonding curve toward graduation | | **Graduated** | Completed the curve and now trading on a full DEX | - **Hover to freeze.** Moving your cursor into a column pauses it so the card you're reading doesn't scroll away — a pause icon shows while frozen. Searching freezes it too. - **Filter per column** — age, bonding %, market cap, volume, and holder-quality ranges (dev, sniper, bundler, and insider share), plus "my tokens first". - **Pin to watchlist** — right-click a card (long-press on mobile) to pin it. - **Hover a token's logo** for a quick preview without leaving the feed. *** ## Explorer — the browser Five views, each a different cut of the market: | View | What it surfaces | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | **Pumping** | Strongest 1-hour price movers with real liquidity | | **All** | Everything, sorted by 24h volume | | **New** | Latest listings | | **Gainers** | Biggest 24h gainers among established tokens | | **Watchlist** | Your pinned tokens, as cards or a chart grid | Filter by launchpad, then stack up to four filters on top: pre-graduated vs. graduated, minimum market cap / liquidity / volume / holders, bonding-curve range, age, and FDV. *** ## What a token card tells you Every card carries the numbers that matter for a fast read: - **Price action** — market cap and volume with live green/red flashes - **Bonding progress** — how far along the curve the token is - **Flow** — buys vs. sells, holder count, liquidity, 1h change - **Age** — time since launch - **Socials** — X, Telegram, and website links when the token has them - **Launchpad badge** — which platform it launched on ### Holder-analysis chips Four chips flag who actually holds the supply — the fastest rug check available: | Chip | What it measures | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Dev** | The deployer's share of supply — "sold" means the dev fully exited | | **Sniper** | Supply held by launch snipers | | **Bundler** | Supply bought in bundled transactions | | **Insider** | Supply held by insider-linked wallets | Each chip shifts from neutral to caution to danger as that group's share of supply grows. Hover a chip for detail — the dev's wallet, buy/sell counts, and totals. ### The audit strip The token detail header adds a **Top 10 holders %** readout (red when ten wallets hold too much of the supply) and an **audit score** — checks for freeze authority, mutable metadata, verified listing, and holder concentration. *** ## Signals and alerts The **signal strip** across the top of Trenches — and the **Alerts** feed (right rail on desktop, its own tab on mobile) — streams events as they fire: - **Graduations** — a token completed its curve - **Whale buys** — large single purchases - **Dev exits** — a deployer selling out - **Bond milestones** — tokens crossing 50% and 80% of the curve - **Volume spikes** — sudden activity crossing meaningful thresholds - **Your positions and watchlist** — meaningful moves in tokens you hold or pinned - **Tracked wallets** — buys, sells, and launches from wallets you follow (see [Wallet Tracker](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/tracker.md)) Click any signal to jump straight to the token. *** > **Warning** > > Signals surface what's happening — they don't make it a good trade. High activity is not a substitute for checking holders, liquidity, and the contract. Many hyped tokens go to zero. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/launchpads.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/launchpads/ # Launchpads & Graduation New launchpad tokens don't start life on a normal DEX. They trade on a **bonding curve** — a pricing contract that is the market until the token "graduates" to a full liquidity pool. Understanding that lifecycle is essential to trading Trenches well. *** ## Bonding Curves A bonding curve is a pricing formula coded into the token's launch contract: - Every **buy** pushes the price up the curve; every **sell** pushes it back down. - There is no order book and no separate liquidity pool — you transact with the contract itself. - Pricing is deterministic: what you pay depends only on how far up the curve your buy pushes it. Two practical implications: 1. **Earlier is cheaper.** The same spend buys more tokens low on the curve than high on it. The flip side: most tokens never make it far up the curve. 2. **Your size moves the price.** On a fresh token with little behind the curve, even a modest buy has visible price impact. Trenches shows the expected impact before you confirm — and blocks trades where it would exceed 20%. *** ## Graduation When a token completes its bonding curve, its liquidity migrates automatically to a full DEX pool and the curve closes. Where it lands depends on the launchpad: | Launchpad | Graduates to | | ------------- | ------------- | | **PumpFun** | PumpSwap | | **LaunchLab** | Raydium | | **Meteora** | Meteora pools | Each launchpad sets its own graduation threshold, and the **bonding progress bar** on every token card and detail page shows how close a token is. At 100% the token reads **Graduated**. **What graduation means for you:** - **Nothing happens to your holdings.** The tokens in your wallet are the same; only the venue changes. - **Trading continues seamlessly** — Trenches routes post-graduation trades to the token's new pool automatically (and checks the available venues to fill you at the best price). The buy button simply switches from **SNIPE** to **Buy**. - **Price can move sharply around the event** in either direction as the market re-prices on the new pool. *** ## The Risk Ledger - **Graduation is the rare case, not the expected one.** Most launchpad tokens die on the curve. - **Exits are as brutal as entries are cheap.** Selling pushes the price back down the curve — if holders exit together, the cascade is explicit and there is no LP buffer to absorb it. - **No graduation can mean no exit.** A token abandoned on its curve may have no meaningful liquidity left to sell into. > **Warning** > > Treat every pre-graduation token as a high-mortality trade by default. The holder-analysis chips and audit strip (see [Finding Tokens](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/discovery.md)) exist to keep the odds honest — use them before you size in. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/trading.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/trading/ # Trading on Trenches Trenches is built for speed: pre-configured presets, one-tap buys from any card, and quick sells from your positions. This page covers the trade flow and every setting behind it. *** ## Snipe Presets The **snipe config bar** is always visible at the top of Trenches. It holds three presets — each a complete trade configuration you can switch between in one click: - **Amount** — how much to spend per snipe, in your chosen funding currency - **Buy slippage / sell slippage** — your tolerance per side - **Priority settings** — how aggressively your transaction competes for inclusion Defaults ship sensibly (small size, \~10–20% slippage for launch conditions, fast-inclusion settings on) and everything is editable in the preset settings. Fund snipes with **SOL, USDC, or USD1** — if a token's curve quotes in a different currency, Trenches bridges the difference automatically inside the same transaction. > **Note** > > Launch-moment trading needs higher slippage than normal swaps — fast launches routinely move double-digit percent between submission and inclusion. Below 10% your snipes on hot launches are likely to fail; the settings panel warns you accordingly. *** ## Ways to Trade 1. **Quick snipe from a card** — one tap on any Live or Explorer card buys with your active preset. Graduated tokens get the same one-tap **Buy**. 2. **The token page terminal** — full Buy/Sell panel with amount presets, currency selector, and your slippage / priority / tip settings one tap away. The chart supports overlays for your average entry and exit, and the token's dev trades. 3. **Quick grid** — hover (or tap) a position row for an instant grid of buy amounts and sell percentages. 4. **Sell from Positions** — the Positions tab shows every bag with live PnL; quick-sell buttons fire at your configured sell percentage (default 100%, configurable to 25/50/75% and more). Transactions are submitted for the fastest possible inclusion, with MEV protection on by default. *** ## Guardrails - **Price-impact block at 20%** — Trenches refuses trades whose quoted impact exceeds 20% of the pool, protecting you from fat-fingering a thin curve. - **Gas pre-check** — before a buy, the terminal verifies your SOL covers the trade plus network fees, priority fee, and tips, with a safety buffer, so you don't strand a transaction mid-flight. - **Trade reverts, not bad fills** — if price moves beyond your slippage between submission and inclusion, the trade reverts and you keep your funds (minus network gas). *** ## Fees - **onchain.cc fee:** the same schedule as [Swap](https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/fees.md) — 0.50% per trade, with 25–50% returned as [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md) by Colosseum rank. - **Launchpad protocol fees:** each launchpad charges its own fee on its trades — included in the quoted price you see, not an onchain.cc charge. - **Network costs:** Solana gas plus your configured priority fee and inclusion tip. *** ## Positions and PnL The **Positions** tab aggregates every Trenches bag: total value, open positions, and unrealized PnL, with per-position cost basis where available. Pending buys show while a trade confirms. Any position can be shared as a PnL card — copy, download, or post it to X in one tap. *** > **Warning** > > One-tap trading is a loaded weapon by design. Check your active preset — amount, slippage, funding currency — before a session. The card you tap is the trade you get. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/tracker.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/tracker/ # Wallet Tracker The best traders don't just watch tokens — they watch wallets. The **Tracker** tab lets you follow up to **50 Solana wallets**, get live alerts when they move, and see their trades plotted on your charts. *** ## Wallets Add any Solana wallet by address, give it a nickname, and organise wallets into colour-coded **groups**. For every tracked wallet you can see: - **PnL** — how the wallet has actually performed - **Alerts** — toggle live notifications per wallet or per group - **Chart bubbles** — plot the wallet's buys and sells directly on token charts ### Import your list Bring your existing tracking list with you: - **Paste from other terminals** — imports from Trojan, Axiom, and GMGN lists are supported, along with most common formats. - **Import Top Traders** — one click seeds a curated group of high-signal trader wallets to get you started. Your tracker syncs with your account, so it follows you across devices. *** ## Alerts The Alerts view streams your tracked wallets' activity live: | Alert type | Fires when | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------ | | **Buy** | A tracked wallet buys a token | | **Sell** | A tracked wallet sells | | **Token Launch** | A tracked wallet deploys a new token | Each alert shows the wallet, token, size, and price — click through to the token to act on it. Filter the feed by alert type and trade size. Alerts also flow into the Trenches signal strip and the alerts rail, so they're visible wherever you're working — as a pinned side rail, a floating pop-out, or the Alerts Feed [Dashboard widget](https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/dashboard.md). *** ## Monitor The Monitor view flips the lens from wallets to tokens: it groups activity by token, showing **which of your tracked wallets bought or sold what** — with their combined holdings, entries, and exits per token. When three wallets you respect all show up in the same launch, Monitor is where you see it first. *** ## Wallet Analyzer Click any wallet for the full workup: - **Positions and activity** — current bags and recent trades - **Performance** — PnL over 1/7/30 days, win rate, realized vs. unrealized - **Distribution** — how the wallet's results spread across its trades Use it to decide whether a wallet deserves a slot in your 50 — a hot streak on three trades is a different signal than a 60% win rate across three hundred. *** ## Chart Bubbles Turn on **chart bubbles** for a wallet or group and their buys and sells render directly on any token's chart in Trenches — entry and exit markers over price. It's the fastest way to learn how a profitable wallet actually trades: where they enter, how they scale out, and what they do when a token stalls. *** > **Note** > > Tracked-wallet data is public on-chain information. The Tracker organises it — it doesn't guarantee any wallet's future performance. Past hit rate is not a trading instruction. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/overview.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/overview/ # Predictions Overview Predictions lets you trade on the outcome of real-world events — buy **Yes** or **No**, and settle at resolution. Markets are powered by **Polymarket**, the largest prediction-market protocol, traded through the onchain.cc terminal with the same account you use everywhere else. *** ## How prediction markets work Every market is a question with a defined resolution — *"Will X happen by Y?"* — and two sides: - Shares are priced in **cents**, from 1¢ to 99¢. The price is the market's implied probability: a Yes share at 62¢ means the market prices a 62% chance. - When the market resolves, **winning shares pay out $1.00 each**; losing shares expire at zero. - You don't have to wait for resolution — shares trade continuously on a live order book, so you can take profit or cut a loss whenever the price moves. **Example:** you buy 100 Yes shares at 40¢ ($40). The event happens → your shares are worth $100 at resolution. It doesn't → they're worth $0. If the odds move to 70¢ before resolution, you can sell for $70 without waiting. *** ## What you can trade The discovery page covers the full Polymarket universe, organised by category: **Politics · Sports · Crypto · Esports · Economy · Finance · Tech · Culture · World · Geopolitics · Elections · Weather** — plus a **Trending** front page and your **Watchlist**.

Fund your Predictions balance Predictions trades from its own **USDC balance**, separate from your wallet and from Perps/Spot. - Open **Transfer** (from the market page, the header balance menu, or Portfolio) and select **Predictions** as the destination. - Fund from any supported chain — Solana included — and the terminal routes it automatically. **Minimum deposit: $2.** - Your available balance shows in the order panel. Withdrawals return to your wallet as **USDC.e on Polygon, 1:1, with no onchain.cc fee**. *** ## 2. Pick a market Browse by category, search, or hit a card straight from Trending. On a multi-outcome event (an election, a tournament), pick the specific outcome you want to trade from the Outcomes list. > **Note** > > Read the **Rules** tab before trading — it states exactly how and when the market resolves. The resolution criteria, not the headline, are what you're trading. *** ## 3. Choose your side and order type - **Buy Yes** if you think it happens; **Buy No** if you think it doesn't. - **Market order** — fills immediately at the current price. High-impact fills warn you when the book is thin. - **Limit order** — set your own price in cents; the order rests until the market comes to you (with an optional expiry date). Enter your size in dollars or as a percentage of your balance. The panel previews **shares, average price, and your payout if you win** before you confirm. *** ## 4. Confirm Hit the button and the order goes to the book. Market orders confirm in seconds; limit orders appear under **Open Orders**, where you can cancel them any time. On your first order the terminal sets up your trading wallet automatically — a one-time step that takes a few extra seconds. *** ## 5. Manage the position Your position appears immediately under **Positions** with live value, PnL, and **To Win** (your payout at resolution). From there you can: - **Sell** — exit the whole position at market in one tap, or use the order panel's Sell tab for a partial or limit exit - **Add** — buy more at the current price - **Share** — post your position or a closed trade as a PnL card See [Positions, Resolution & Claiming](https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/positions-and-claiming.md) for what happens at resolution. *** ## One-Tap mode (Up/Down markets) Short-interval crypto markets support **1-Tap buys**: three preset amounts ($5 / $25 / $100 by default, editable) that fire a market buy instantly — no confirmation step. Built for rounds measured in minutes. See [Up/Down Markets](https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/updown.md). *** > **Warning** > > Prediction prices move on news, and thin markets move hard. A limit order at your price beats chasing a market order through a moving book. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/positions-and-claiming.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/positions-and-claiming/ # Positions, Resolution & Claiming *** ## Your positions **Positions** (on the Predictions page and in [Portfolio](https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/portfolio-view.md)) shows every market you're in: | Column | Meaning | | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | **Shares** | How many outcome shares you hold | | **Avg → Now** | Your average entry price vs. the current price | | **Value** | What the position is worth at the current price | | **P\&L** | Profit or loss, in dollars and percent | | **To Win** | Your total payout if the outcome resolves your way | Positions update live as trades fill. **Open Orders** lists your resting limit orders (cancel individually or all at once), and **History** shows your recent trades. A cumulative PnL chart tracks your performance over 24H / 7D / 30D / all-time. *** ## Exiting early You never have to wait for resolution: - **Sell button** — exits the full position at the current market price in one tap. - **Order panel → Sell** — partial exits, or a limit sell at your target price. Selling early locks in whatever the market currently prices — useful for taking profit when the odds have moved your way, or cutting a position whose thesis broke. *** ## Resolution When the event concludes, the market resolves per its **Rules** — the resolution criteria shown on every market page. Once resolved: - Trading stops; the market shows **Resolved**. - Winning shares are worth **$1.00 each**; losing shares are worth zero. Resolution timing varies by market — some resolve within minutes of the event, others (like ones that need official data) take longer. *** ## Claiming your winnings Winnings are **claimed, not auto-paid**: 1. After resolution, a **Claim** button appears on your winning position. 2. Tap it — the claim executes on-chain (no gas needed from you). 3. The payout lands in your **Predictions balance** within moments, ready to trade or withdraw. Unclaimed winnings don't expire — but claiming promptly keeps your balance working. *** ## Withdrawing From the Transfer dialog, withdraw your Predictions balance back to your wallet at any time. Withdrawals arrive as **USDC.e on Polygon, 1:1, with no onchain.cc fee**. *** > **Note** > > Disputes and edge-case resolutions follow Polymarket's resolution process — the market Rules are always the authority on how an outcome is decided. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/updown.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/updown/ # Up/Down Markets Up/Down markets are recurring short-interval crypto predictions: **will the price of an asset be up or down at the end of this window?** A new round opens the moment the last one closes, around the clock. *** ## Assets and intervals | Interval | Assets | | -------------- | ------------------ | | **5 minutes** | BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP | | **15 minutes** | BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP | | **1 hour** | BTC, ETH, XRP | | **4 hours** | BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP | | **1 day** | BTC, ETH, XRP | Find them under **Crypto** in Predictions, or in the **Live Crypto** rail on the discovery page. A timeframe switcher and round navigation let you hop between intervals and browse recent finished rounds. *** ## How a round works 1. **The round opens** and locks in its **Price to beat** — the asset's price at the moment the round started, from the same Chainlink price feed Polymarket uses to resolve the market. 2. **You trade Up or Down** while the round runs. Prices for each side move with the market's live odds, and the page shows the live price against the price to beat, a countdown, and a live chart. 3. **The round closes.** If the asset's price ends above the price to beat, **Up** wins; below, **Down** wins. Resolution follows on-chain within moments, and winnings are claimable like any other market. *** ## One-Tap trading Rounds measured in minutes don't leave time for an order form. **1-Tap mode** puts three preset buy amounts directly on the trading panel — **$5 / $25 / $100 by default**, editable — and a single tap fires a market buy on your chosen side instantly. Each preset tile shows what you'd win at the current odds. 1-Tap is on by default for Up/Down rounds (except the daily variant) and can be toggled off in the panel. *** ## Reading the odds Up/Down prices are probabilities like any prediction market: Up at 55¢ means the market prices a 55% chance the asset closes the window higher. Because crypto moves fast, the odds swing hard inside a round — a side that was 80¢ can be 20¢ minutes later. Early entries buy uncertainty cheap; late entries buy confidence at a premium. *** > **Warning** > > Up/Down rounds are the fastest markets on the platform — closer to trading a candle than an event. Odds can gap instantly on a price move, and a round's outcome is decided in minutes. Size accordingly. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/overview.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/swap/overview/ # Cross-Chain Swap Swap converts any token into any other token across **13 supported chains** — same-chain or cross-chain, in one transaction flow, with automatic best-price routing. It trades straight from your wallet: no order book, no product balance to fund, full self-custody. *** ## Supported chains **Solana · Ethereum · Base · Arbitrum · Optimism · Polygon · BNB · Linea · Scroll · Gnosis · Berachain · Robinhood · Arc** Swap both within and between them — Solana ↔ EVM included. On most EVM chains **gas is sponsored**, so you can trade without holding the native token; on Solana, Ethereum, and BNB keep a small native-token balance for gas. *** ## How routing works You never pick a route — the terminal does: - **Solana ↔ Solana** swaps route through **Carbium**, onchain.cc's Solana routing engine, which splits your order across DEX liquidity for the best output. MEV protection is on by default. - **Cross-chain and EVM** swaps route through **LiFi**, which finds the best bridge-and-swap path between chains. The quote shows your expected output, price impact, and the route before you confirm — quotes refresh every 10 seconds while you decide. *** ## How to swap 1. **Pick your tokens** — the token you're paying with (and its chain) and the token you want (and its chain). Search by name or paste a contract address. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/swap-how-to-buy-1.png) *Search by name, ticker, or contract address* That's the whole flow. Sells work identically — flip the pair. > **Note** > > Slippage protects you: if the price moves beyond your tolerance before the transaction lands, the trade reverts rather than filling at a worse price. The panel warns you when a setting or a quote looks risky (slippage above 3%, price impact above 10%). *** ## Swap vs. Spot Swap is instant conversion from your wallet across 13 chains. [Spot](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/overview.md) is order-book trading on Hyperliquid — limit orders, TWAPs, maker/taker fees — from a funded product balance. Converting tokens? Swap. Working orders on liquid pairs? Spot. *** ## Quick Swap on the Dashboard The full swap panel is also available as the **Quick Swap** [Dashboard widget](https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/dashboard.md) — same chains, same routing, same fees, embedded in your board. *** > **Note** > > Every swap settles on-chain and is verifiable on the relevant chain's explorer from the confirmation screen.

The same fee and cashback apply to [Trenches](https://onchain.cc/docs/trenches/trading.md) trades. | Rank | Cashback | Net cost of a 0.50% fee | | --------- | -------- | ----------------------- | | Recruit | 25% | 0.375% | | Warrior | 30% | 0.35% | | Gladiator | 35% | 0.325% | | Champion | 40% | 0.30% | | Warlord | 45% | 0.275% | | Immortal | 50% | 0.25% | The fee is shown in the swap panel before you confirm, and each trade's cashback lands in your Cashback panel live — see [Cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md) for how accrual, claiming, and expiry work. Traders active before the September 2026 restructure are automatically grandfathered onto a better cashback ladder that preserves their previous net rates. *** ## Network fees (gas) Every on-chain transaction also carries the network's own gas fee — paid to the chain, not to onchain.cc. - **Sponsored on most EVM chains** — Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Scroll, Gnosis, Berachain, Robinhood, and Arc swaps don't need you to hold the native token. - **Solana, Ethereum, and BNB** — keep a small native-token balance (fractions of a cent per transaction on Solana; more on Ethereum mainnet). *** ## Fee summary | Fee type | Amount | Notes | | -------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------- | | onchain.cc fee | 0.50% per swap | 25–50% returned as cashback by rank | | Network gas | Variable by chain | Sponsored on most EVM chains | > **Note** > > Scope: this schedule covers **Swap and Trenches**. [Spot](https://onchain.cc/docs/spot/fees.md), [Perps](https://onchain.cc/docs/perps/fees.md), and [Predictions](https://onchain.cc/docs/predictions/overview.md) have their own fee structures — and cashback applies to all of them. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/portfolio-view.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/portfolio-and-tools/portfolio-view/ # Portfolio Portfolio is your consolidated view of everything you hold and trade on onchain.cc — across your wallet and all product balances — with live values, PnL, and one-tap access to funding actions. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/portfolio-portfolio-view-1.png) *The Portfolio view* *** ## Four tabs | Tab | What it covers | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Wallet** | Tokens held in your self-custody wallets (Solana + EVM) — what Swap and Trenches trade with | | **Spot** | Your Hyperliquid spot holdings and the shared Perps/Spot balance | | **Perps** | Open perps positions, fills, and funding payments | | **Predictions** | Prediction positions, open orders, and history | The header shows your total balance across everything, with per-venue breakdowns (available, in positions, in open orders), an eye toggle to hide balances, and per-tab actions: **Add funds**, **Send**, **Transfer**, and **Deposit** where relevant. *** ## Wallet tab - **Net worth chart** — your combined wallet value over time, from 24 hours to all-time. - **Holdings** — every token with balance, live price, value, average entry, and realized/unrealized PnL where cost basis is available.

Colosseum is what makes it a competition. Colosseum is the competitive layer that sits on top of everything you trade — spot, perps, Trenches, and predictions — converting activity into points, ranks, and real USDC rewards. The more you trade, the more you earn. The more you earn, the higher you climb. The higher you climb, the bigger your share of the prize pools. *** ## The Core Loop ``` Trade → Earn Points → Level Up Rank → Compete → Win ``` 1. **Trade** on onchain.cc — any product, any size. 2. **Earn points** automatically from your trading volume — every product earns at its own rate. 3. **Level up your rank** as your seasonal rank points accumulate — a higher rank means a bigger cashback rate on the onchain.cc fee you pay. 4. **Compete** on session leaderboards against other traders. 5. **Win** — USDC cashback on every trade, and prize pools as sessions and seasons pay out. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-overview-1.png) *The Colosseum dashboard* *** ## Key Features | Feature | What it does | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [**Seasons**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/seasons-sessions.md) | Long-running campaigns with a global prize pool | | [**Sessions**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/seasons-sessions.md) | Short competitions — typically weekly — with their own leaderboards and prizes | | [**Ranks**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md) | The seasonal climb from Recruit to Immortal — each rank raises your cashback rate | | [**Cashback**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md) | 25–50% of the onchain.cc fee back in USDC, by rank — claim weekly before it expires | | [**Quests**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/quests.md) | Daily, weekly, and one-time challenges paying bonus points, boosts, and loot boxes | | [**Loot Boxes**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/loot-boxes.md) | Reward drops in four rarities, containing points or USDC | | [**Factions**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/factions.md) | Team play — the top factions each week earn a points boost for every member | | [**Vaults**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/vaults.md) | Community campaigns: the whole platform trades toward a shared volume target to unlock rewards | | [**Social Scoring**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/social-scoring.md) | Quality posts about onchain.cc on X earn Colosseum progress | | [**Leaderboard**](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/leaderboard.md) | Live session rankings — where you stand and what it takes to move up | *** ## You're already enrolled There is no sign-up. Creating an account puts you on the ladder, and your first trade starts scoring — points, rank progress, quest tracking, and leaderboard entry are all automatic from there. > **Note** > > Colosseum tracks and rewards your trading — it never executes trades on your behalf. Your wallet remains fully in your control at all times. *** ## The current season Season rewards, dates, and any live vault campaign are always shown on the **Colosseum dashboard** in the terminal. Season 2 carries **300,000 USDC** — a 200,000 prize pool plus 100,000 paid out while the season runs. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/seasons-sessions.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/seasons-sessions/ # Seasons & Sessions Colosseum runs on two overlapping competition clocks — a long game and a short game. Understanding both is how you maximize your rewards. *** ## Seasons A **Season** is the long-running campaign that frames everything else. Seasons run for weeks to months and carry a global prize pool — the headline number on the Colosseum dashboard. - Each season has announced dates and a total prize pool. - Season-wide **boosts** can apply while a season is active — including boosts targeted at specific products or events. - When a new season opens, **rank points reset and everyone returns to Recruit together** — see [Rank System](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md). Your lifetime points balance and claimable cashback are untouched. - When a season ends, prizes settle and a new season opens with a fresh campaign. *** ## Sessions A **Session** is the short competition that runs inside a season — **typically weekly**, with its exact start and end announced on the dashboard. Each session has: - Its own **leaderboard**, scored from zero — points earned during that window only. - Its own **prize pool** and payout structure. - A defined **scoring metric** — most sessions rank by points, but sessions can also rank by PnL, return, or trade count, and some are scoped to one product (a perps-only session, a Trenches-only session). The session card always states its rules. - Some sessions run in **rank brackets**, so you compete against traders at a similar level. When a session closes, the leaderboard is final and prizes are calculated. **Payouts follow about a week after the session ends** — a verification window before funds move. See [Leaderboard](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/leaderboard.md). > **Note** > > Sessions never touch your lifetime points — rank progress carries across every session and season you play. *** ## Bonus Windows Inside a season, the Colosseum team activates **Bonus Windows** — time-limited events that boost point earnings for eligible trades. Examples: - "2x points for the next 4 hours" - "Boosted points on prediction trades this weekend" - Faction-only or campaign-specific boosts Bonus Windows are announced on the Colosseum dashboard and in the official Discord, with a countdown while active. When more than one boost applies to a trade, the boosts **add together**. Trading during a Bonus Window is the fastest way to climb a session leaderboard. *** ## How to know what's active Open the **Colosseum** tab. The dashboard shows the active season and prize pool, the current session with its countdown and rules, any live vault campaign, and any Bonus Window in effect. Check it before a trading session — knowing when a boost is coming lets you plan around it. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-seasons-sessions-1.png) *Season, session, and Bonus Window status* --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks/ # Rank System Your rank is your standing in the Colosseum — the seasonal climb from Recruit to Immortal. Rank determines one thing, and it's a big one: your **[cashback rate](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md)** on the onchain.cc fee you pay. *** ## The Six Ranks Six clean ranks, no sub-tiers. The current ladder: | Rank | Rank points to reach | Cashback rate | | --------- | -------------------- | ------------- | | Recruit | 0 | 25% | | Warrior | 10,000 | 30% | | Gladiator | 20,000 | 35% | | Champion | 50,000 | 40% | | Warlord | 350,000 | 45% | | Immortal | 1,000,000 | 50% | Rank up and the higher cashback rate applies to every trade from that moment on. *** ## Three counters — don't mix them up | Counter | What it is | Resets? | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Rank points** | Your seasonal climb — earned from trading and quests, they set your rank | Yes — at each season open, everyone drops to Recruit together | | **Points balance** | Your lifetime points total | Never | | **Season leaderboard** | Points earned this season, ranked against other traders for the prize pool | Each season | Your **lifetime points balance is never reset and never spent** — it's your permanent record. Rank points are the seasonal race; the leaderboard is the prize race. The same trading feeds all three. *** ## Earning Rank Points Every product earns rank points per dollar of volume — at different rates, on purpose: | Activity | Rank points per $1 | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | **Trenches** trades | 0.75 — the highest rate on the terminal | | **Swaps** | 0.50 | | **Predictions** trades | 0.50 | | **Spot sells** | 0.35 | | **Perps** volume (position held 60s+) | 0.05 | | Perps closed under 60 seconds | 0.025 | | Stable-to-stable swaps | 0.25 — deliberately the lowest-effort, lowest-earn lane | Two perps wrinkles: hold a position for at least a minute and you earn the full rate, and a position that closes on a major move earns a **1.5× rate — wins and losses alike**. Spot **buys** earn nothing — there's no fee on a spot buy, so the earn sits on the sell. **Quests** pay rank points on top of trading — daily and weekly quests are the steadiest way to accelerate a climb. Occasional **Bonus Windows**, faction boosts, and season events can multiply point earnings, but they're the exception now — the base rates are where the climb lives. *** ## The Season Reset Rank points reset to zero when a new season opens — **everyone** returns to Recruit together, whales and OGs included. Your cashback rate resets with it and climbs back as you rank up (grandfathered OG traders reset to the OG Recruit rate — see [Cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md)). The reset costs your position, not your progress: your lifetime points balance and your claimable cashback are untouched, and the ladder is the same distance for everyone. *** > **Note** > > Rank pays cashback — that's the whole prize. Session and season **prize pools** are won on the [Leaderboard](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/leaderboard.md), which is a separate race scored by season points, not rank. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback/ # Cashback The onchain.cc fee pays you back. A percentage of the onchain.cc fee you pay — on swaps, Trenches, Spot, Perps, and Predictions — accrues as **USDC cashback**, set by your [Colosseum rank](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md) and claimable straight to your wallet. *** ## Your rate Cashback rates climb with rank: | Rank | Cashback rate | | --------- | ------------- | | Recruit | 25% | | Warrior | 30% | | Gladiator | 35% | | Champion | 40% | | Warlord | 45% | | Immortal | 50% | From your very first trade, a quarter of the onchain.cc fee comes back. At Immortal, half. On Perps and Spot, Hyperliquid's own fee is not included. Your current rate is always shown on the Colosseum dashboard. Two standing bonuses worth knowing: - **OG traders** — accounts that were active before the September 2026 restructure are automatically grandfathered onto a better ladder that preserves their old net rates. Nothing to claim or opt into. - **Immortal at the Season 2 open** — anyone who held Immortal when Season 2 launched earns a **permanent +2%** on their cashback rate, forever, stacking on whatever rank they hold later. *** ## How it accrues - Cashback is calculated **per trade, on the fee you actually paid** — never an estimate. - It lands in the **Cashback panel** in the terminal, live: you'll see the tick come in with each fill. Pin the panel to a corner or pop it out to watch it run. - Accruals collect into **weekly buckets** (Monday to Sunday, UTC). *** ## Claiming - Hit **Claim** (or **Claim all**) in the Cashback panel — payouts settle **on-chain in seconds**, as USDC. - **Claiming opens at $1.** Below that, your balance simply keeps growing until you cross it. - Claims always pay your **oldest buckets first**. > **Warning** > > **Cashback expires — claim it.** Each weekly bucket stays claimable for a limited window after its week closes: **14 days** at Recruit through Champion, **30 days** at Warlord and Immortal. After that, the unclaimed balance is gone. The window is locked in when you earn it — ranking down later never shortens cashback you've already accrued — but the clock always runs. Make claiming part of your weekly routine. *** ## Staying active Cashback rewards active traders: after **60 days without a trade**, accrual pauses at 0%. It resumes on your next trade — the comeback trade itself doesn't earn, everything after it does. Your rank and any grandfathered status are untouched either way. *** > **Note** > > The Cashback panel also tracks your **Colosseum points** as they accrue, and can carry launchpad token rewards where available — everything you're earning as you trade, in one place. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/quests.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/quests/ # Quests Quests are structured challenges that reward you with bonus points, boosts, and loot boxes for doing things you'd be doing on the terminal anyway. They are the fastest way to accelerate rank progression on top of your trading. *** ## Quest Schedules | Type | Cadence | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Daily** | Resets every day (00:00 UTC) | Short tasks you can complete in a single trading session | | **Weekly** | Resets Mondays (00:00 UTC) | Larger goals rewarding sustained activity across the week | | **One-Time** | Complete once | Exploration and achievement milestones — claimable for as long as the quest is live | > **Warning** > > The reset wipes everything on daily and weekly quests — progress **and completed-but-unclaimed rewards**. Claim before the reset (daily at 00:00 UTC, weekly on Monday 00:00 UTC) or the reward is gone. *** ## What Quests Cover - **Trading** — volume targets, trade counts, PnL milestones, across spot, perps, Trenches, and predictions (some quests are product-specific) - **Social** — posting about onchain.cc on X, scored by the [Social Scoring](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/social-scoring.md) system - **Referrals** — inviting traders who go on to trade - **Achievements** — first trade, first deposit, opening a loot box, reaching a rank, joining a faction - **Factions** — collective goals where your whole faction's activity counts toward one target - **Streaks** — daily-login and consistency rewards *** ## Rewards | Reward | What it does | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Points** | Add to your lifetime balance and your seasonal rank climb — see [Rank System](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md) | | **Loot Boxes** | Reward drops — see [Loot Boxes](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/loot-boxes.md) | | **Boosts** | Temporary points multipliers and [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md) boosts, and other time-limited perks | *** ## Finding and Claiming Quests 1. Open the **Colosseum** tab and select **Quests**. 2. Quests are grouped by schedule — each card shows the objective, the reward, a progress bar, and time remaining. 3. When a quest completes, **claim it** from the card. Most rewards are claimed manually; some quests auto-claim on completion. Make claiming a habit — daily and weekly rewards are lost at the reset if left unclaimed. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-quests-1.png) *The quests panel* --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/loot-boxes.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/loot-boxes/ # Loot Boxes Loot boxes are randomized reward drops earned through quests, milestones, and special events. Every box contains a prize — **points or USDC** — rolled at the moment you open it. *** ## Rarity Tiers Four rarities, in ascending value: | Rarity | Typical source | What's inside | | ------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | **Common** | Daily quests, basic milestones | Smaller point drops; occasional small USDC prizes | | **Rare** | Weekly quests, mid-tier milestones | Bigger point drops; better USDC odds | | **Epic** | High-value quests, major milestones | Large point drops; USDC prizes are common | | **Legendary** | Exceptional events and rewards | The largest point and USDC prizes on the platform | Higher rarity means better odds of USDC and bigger prizes on both sides of the roll. The exact contents are randomized when you open the box. *** ## How to Earn Them - **Daily quests** — the primary source of Common boxes - **Weekly quests** — Rare and occasionally better - **Milestones** — one-time achievements unlock specific drops - **Events** — Bonus Windows, vault campaigns, and session prizes sometimes pay in loot boxes *** ## Opening and Claiming 1. Open the **Colosseum** tab → **Inventory**. 2. Your unopened boxes are listed by rarity. Click one to open it — the reveal shows your prize. 3. **Claim the prize.** Every reward — points or USDC — has a claim step after the reveal. Points land in your total on claim; USDC payouts are queued and sent to your wallet. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-loot-boxes-3.png) *Opening a box and claiming the reward* > **Note** > > Each box opens exactly once — the roll is final the moment you open it. **Unopened boxes expire 30 days after they're granted** — the inventory shows a countdown on each box, so open them while they're live. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/factions.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/factions/ # Factions Colosseum is not only an individual competition. Factions are the team layer — up to **50 traders** competing together for collective standing and a shared points boost. *** ## The Faction Boost Every week, factions are ranked by their **combined trading volume**. The top factions on that ladder earn a **points multiplier for every member**, applied to all their trading — the #1 faction earns the biggest boost, with smaller boosts down the top ranks. The ladder resets every Monday, so the boost is never owned — it's defended. Two things follow from that design: - **Active factions win.** The boost goes to factions that trade, not factions that exist. A dormant faction earns nothing. - **Recruiting matters.** Every active member adds volume to the weekly total that earns everyone's boost. *** ## Joining a Faction - **Browse and join** — open **Factions** in the Colosseum tab and browse the list. Open factions can be joined directly; private factions take join requests. - **Invites** — a faction can send you a direct invite link. - Some factions set a **join fee in points** — shown before you join. You can be in **one faction at a time**; leave your current one before switching. Check a faction's member count and weekly volume before joining — an active faction is the whole point. *** ## Competing Together - **Faction leaderboard** — factions ranked by collective performance, updated live in the Factions panel, with the weekly-volume ladder that decides the boost. - **Faction quests** — some quests target the faction as a whole: the entire faction's combined activity clears one goal, and everyone shares the reward. - **Faction pools** — factions can accumulate a shared points pool that leadership distributes to members. *** > **Note** > > The faction boost stacks with any active Bonus Windows on your point earnings. For a solo trader, joining an active faction is the single easiest points upgrade available. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/vaults.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/vaults/ # Vaults A Vault is a community campaign: the platform announces a **collective volume target** and a prize pool, and every eligible trade on onchain.cc pushes the community toward it. Hit the target together, unlock the rewards together. *** ## How a Vault Campaign Works 1. **The vault opens** — a volume goal, a prize, and a deadline are announced on the Colosseum dashboard and in Discord. 2. **Everyone trades** — qualifying trades during the vault window count automatically. No opt-in, nothing to click. (Campaigns can set a minimum trade size for a trade to count — the vault card states it.) 3. **Progress is live** — a progress bar tracks community volume against the target in real time. Some campaigns unlock rewards in **stages** as milestones fill, with the full prize at the top. 4. **The vault unlocks** — hitting the target locks in the reward. Once a milestone is announced, it can't un-fire. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-factions-vaults-1.png) *A live vault campaign — progress toward the community target* *** ## How Rewards Are Distributed What a vault unlocks depends on the campaign. Some vaults unlock a prize distributed to contributors; others fill a **downstream pool** — for example, the campaign that maxed Season 2's 300,000 USDC prize pool, which then pays out through the season's own competitions. Every vault's card states its own payout rules — read it when the campaign opens. *** > **Warning** > > Only volume during the active vault window counts — trades before it opens or after it closes don't contribute. Check the vault card for the campaign's own rules: the window, any minimum trade size, and how its rewards pay out. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/social-scoring.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/social-scoring/ # Social Scoring You can earn Colosseum progress for posting about onchain.cc on X. Social scoring rewards genuine advocacy — real takes, real trades, real engagement — not spam. *** ## How It Works 1. **Post on X** mentioning **@Onchaincc** or using **#onchaincc**. (Retweets don't count — original posts, quotes, and replies do.) 2. The post is picked up automatically — no submission step. 3. An AI scoring system grades the post on **content quality**: relevance, substance, insight, and authenticity. 4. Scored posts feed your Colosseum progress — social quests track them, and your recent posts and their results are visible in the **Social** panel. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-social-scoring-1.png) *The Social panel* *** ## What Scores Well - A specific insight, trade, or observation from your own use of the terminal - A screenshot of a position, a PnL card, or a leaderboard placement - A genuine opinion — including critical ones argued well - Content your followers actually engage with ## What Scores Zero - Bare referral links and generic "go check out" filler - The same text posted repeatedly, or near-duplicates - Spam, engagement-bait, or off-topic tag-ons - Hate, harassment, or anything that gets a post flagged rather than scored *** ## Fair Use The system is built to reward participation, not gaming. Spam, duplicates, and manipulated engagement don't score, and accounts running systematic manipulation can be disqualified from social rewards. *** > **Note** > > The easiest high-scoring post is the one you'd make anyway: the trade that hit, the feature that saved you, the leaderboard climb. Share the PnL card straight from the terminal and say what happened. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/leaderboard.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/leaderboard/ # Leaderboard The leaderboard is the scoreboard: where you rank against every other trader in the current session, live. *** ## What It Shows For each trader on the session leaderboard: - **Position** — current standing in the session - **Score** — points (or the session's stated metric) earned this session - **Volume** — trading volume for the session - **Rank badge** — their Colosseum rank (Recruit through Immortal) - **Movement** — up, down, or holding since the last update Your own row is always highlighted, wherever you rank. ![](https://onchain.cc/docs/assets/colosseum-leaderboard-1.png) *The session leaderboard* *** ## Session vs. Global | Leaderboard | Scope | Resets | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | **Session** | Points earned during the current session only | Every session starts from zero | | **Global** | Lifetime points and rank across everything | Never — your full history | The **session leaderboard decides prizes**. Your position when the session closes is what pays. One small on-ramp: you appear on the season leaderboard once your account has **$1,000 of accumulated trading volume** — a couple of trades for most. Once cleared, it's cleared for the whole season, and it gates only the leaderboard, never your points or rank progress. *** ## How Prizes Pay Out At session close, the leaderboard is final and the prize pool is distributed across the prize zone (the paying positions) — weighted to the top, first place taking the largest share. Session rules state the exact structure, and some sessions pay in loot boxes rather than USDC. **Payouts follow about a week after the session ends** — a verification window runs before funds move to winners. > **Note** > > Standings near the prize cutoff often shift in the final hours of a session — positions aren't safe until the clock runs out. *** ## How to Climb 1. **Trade volume** — points are a function of volume, on every product. 2. **Trade where the points are** — Trenches earns the highest rate per dollar, and each product has its own ([Rank System](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md) has the table). 3. **Join an active faction** — the weekly faction boost stacks on top ([Factions](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/factions.md)). 4. **Hit the Bonus Windows** — check the dashboard and plan sessions around them. 5. **Clear your quests** — quest points advance your rank climb and lifetime balance alongside your trading. 6. **Stack what stacks** — an active faction plus a live Bonus Window on the right product is how the top of the board earns. *** ## Where to Find It Open the **Colosseum** tab — the leaderboard is on the main dashboard, with a toggle between Session and Global views. --- Source: https://onchain.cc/docs/resources/ai-assistants.md Visual page: https://onchain.cc/docs/resources/ai-assistants/ # For AI Assistants Use this guide to find and read onchain.cc documentation with an AI assistant.

As with all of crypto, the risk that remains is the market itself — trade accordingly. ### How do I sign in? Do I need a wallet? You can sign in three ways: **Google**, **email** (with a 6-digit code), or by connecting an existing **Solana or EVM wallet**. Signing in with Google or email creates embedded self-custody wallets for you — one Solana, one EVM — managed non-custodially through Privy. You can view them, and export their private keys, on the Wallets page at any time. ### Is onchain.cc available in my country? The terminal is available in most countries, but certain products are restricted in certain jurisdictions — you'll see a notice on the affected product if that applies to you, and our [Terms of Use](https://onchain.cc/terms/#restricted) list the details. Prediction markets have their own jurisdiction rules; in some regions you can browse markets but not place orders. *** ## Trading ### What are the fees? It depends on the product: - **Swap and Trenches** — 0.50% per trade. Trenches trades also carry the launchpad's own protocol fee, included in the quoted price. - **Spot** — no onchain.cc fee on buys; sells pay 0.25% maker / 0.35% taker, on top of Hyperliquid's own spot fee. - **Perps** — Hyperliquid's volume-tiered maker/taker fee plus a 0.05% Onchain service fee, shown combined in the order panel. - **Predictions** — 0.50% per order, plus Polymarket's own taker fee on markets where it charges one. And on all of it: **25–50% of the onchain.cc fee comes back to you as [cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md)**, set by your Colosseum rank and claimable in USDC. Hyperliquid's own fee on perps and spot is not included. Network gas applies to on-chain trades (Swap/Trenches) and is sponsored on most EVM chains. ### How does cashback work? Every onchain.cc fee you pay accrues cashback at your rank's rate (25% at Recruit up to 50% at Immortal), into weekly buckets you claim from the Cashback panel — minimum claim $1, paid on-chain in seconds. **Claim regularly: buckets expire 14 days after their week closes (30 days at Warlord and Immortal)**, and accrual pauses if you go 60 days without trading. Full detail: [Cashback](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/cashback.md). ### Do I need a chain's native token to trade? For **Swap and Trenches**: on Solana, Ethereum, and BNB, yes — keep a small native-token balance for gas or transactions will fail (on Solana, a few thousandths of a SOL covers a trade). On the other supported EVM chains gas is sponsored. **Spot, Perps, and Predictions** trade from funded product balances, so orders there don't need gas from your wallet. ### What is a contract address (CA)? The unique on-chain identifier for a token. Pasting a CA into the search bar is the fastest and safest way to pull up exactly the token you mean — names and tickers can be duplicated; contract addresses can't. Always verify the CA before trading. ### Why did my transaction fail? The two most common causes on on-chain trades: insufficient native-token balance for gas, or slippage set below what the market moved. Failed transactions revert — you keep your funds (minus network gas). Top up gas or raise slippage slightly and retry. On launch-moment Trenches trades, slippage below \~10% frequently fails by design — fast curves move faster than your transaction lands. ### What happens to my funds if I close the app? Nothing. Your funds live in your wallets and product balances on-chain, not on onchain.cc's servers. Sign back in and everything is where you left it. *** ## Colosseum ### How do I join Colosseum? You already have. Enrollment is automatic when you create an account, and your first trade starts earning points. Head to the Colosseum tab to see your rank, quests, and leaderboard position. ### What's the difference between a Season and a Session? A **Season** is the long campaign (weeks to months) with the headline prize pool. A **Session** is a shorter competition inside it — typically weekly — with its own leaderboard and prizes, scored from zero. Rank points reset when a new season opens — everyone starts the climb again from Recruit — while your lifetime points balance carries forever. ### How do I rank up faster? Rank points come from trading volume, at each product's own rate — Trenches earns the most per dollar, and quests add points on top. Occasional Bonus Windows and faction boosts multiply earnings, but the base rates carry the climb. See [Rank System](https://onchain.cc/docs/colosseum/ranks.md) for the full rate table and thresholds. ### When do session prizes arrive? Payouts follow **about a week after the session ends** — a verification window runs first, then prizes are distributed. ### How do referrals work? Every account has a referral link — find your code in the Colosseum section, and it's attached automatically when you share PnL cards to X. Traders who join through your link and trade earn you referral rewards, tracked through referral quests. *** ## Support ### How do I contact support? Two ways: in the terminal, **Get support** in the menu opens live chat. Or join the official **Discord** (link at [onchain.cc](https://onchain.cc)), verify, and open a private support ticket. For announcements, follow [@Onchaincc](https://x.com/Onchaincc) on X.
