Quickstart

#Open the app

Go to the app. The header shows the market’s pair and a cluster indicator. A green dot means the app’s Solana RPC and Chord’s collector agree on which chain they’re on. If they don’t, the app shows why and won’t ask you to sign anything.

#Connect a wallet

Choose Connect wallet and pick your wallet from the list. The app finds browser wallets through Wallet Standard, so Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and other compatible wallets appear on their own.

#Have the token you’re selling

You need the token you’re selling in your wallet, plus a little SOL for transaction fees. The ticket shows your balance next to You pay, and Max fills it in.

#Fill in the ticket

Pick Buy or Sell, enter what you pay, and set a limit price. The chips under the limit set it relative to the last clearing price: Last puts it right at that price, and the percentage chips give the batch a little room. The ticket shows the minimum you’ll receive at your limit, and what you’d get if the batch cleared at the last price.

#Place the order

Press the button and follow your wallet. The ticket walks through up to three steps:

1. Allow. If your current allowance can’t cover this order and your other open orders, the app asks you to approve the settlement account for exactly that amount. This is a transaction with a normal network fee.
2. Wait for finality. The collector only reads finalized chain state, so the app waits until the new allowance is final, usually about 13 seconds.
3. Sign. You sign the order itself. This is a message signature: free, and it moves nothing.

When the ticket says Held, your order is in the batch.

#Watch it clear

Your order appears on the stage as a white string marked You. When the collection window closes, solvers quote. When the winning quote commits, the bridge drops to the clearing price, and strings that reach past it fill. The result shows in the ticket and in Your orders, with the amount you received and the price.
