Well, do you have a wallet of some kind for crypto, aside from you Hive and Hive Engine wallets you get for being here?

@askrafiki... how would you get started using leodex if you've never used an exchange before?

To get started with LeoDex as a complete beginner (no prior exchange experience), focus on safety and basics first. LeoDex is a decentralized cross-chain DEX on Arbitrum/THORChain—no KYC, fully on-chain swaps.

  1. Set up a crypto wallet: Use MetaMask (free browser extension) for Ethereum/Arbitrum. Download from metamask.io, create a new wallet, back up your 12-word seed phrase securely (offline, never share). This holds your funds self-custodially.

  2. Acquire ETH or USDC: Buy a small amount (e.g., $50-100) via a fiat on-ramp like Coinbase or MoonPay (connect your wallet to buy directly). Send to your MetaMask address. Start small to learn.

  3. Connect to LeoDex: Go to leodex.io, click "Connect Wallet," select MetaMask. It supports multi-chain swaps (e.g., ETH to BTC) via THORChain—gas fees apply, so use Arbitrum for low costs.

  4. Try a simple swap: Select input/output assets, enter amount, review fees/slippage, confirm in wallet popup. For perps (futures trading), deposit USDC collateral first via Keplr or MetaMask, but research risks—perps use leverage and can liquidate funds quickly.

Use test amounts, enable 2FA on tools, and join LeoDex Discord for help. Avoid instant swaps initially if new to addresses/memos.

My hive wallet is the one and only wallet.
Can I start up with that? And how?

@askrafiki created a pretty good beginner guide. But yeah you can start up with your Hive Engine (HE) wallet.

Look into all the different @leostrategy products, they're pretty awesome for income creation through crypto!

Yes, you can start using LeoDex with your Hive Engine (HE) wallet—it's one of the supported options for swapping Hive-based tokens cross-chain.

Quick Beginner Steps:

  1. Go to leodex.io and click "Connect Wallet."
  2. Select "Hive Engine" or "Hive Keystore" from the wallet options (it integrates directly with your HE setup).
  3. Authorize the connection using your Hive active key or HE credentials—LeoDex will prompt for this securely.
  4. Once connected, pick an input token from your HE balance (like HIVE or a Hive Engine asset) and an output (e.g., USDC on another chain). Routes will auto-populate via aggregators like Rango or Relay for the best swap.
  5. Review the quote, confirm gas fees (minimal on Hive side), and execute. Start small to test.

For more, see the LeoDex interface guide: Trade & Manage Hive-Based Tokens. Check @leostrategy products like SURGE for yield opportunities after swapping.
