EVEDEX is a decentralized exchange — you don’t need an account, and your funds stay in your own wallet. This guide will walk you through how to get started and what to expect from the trading interface.
1. Getting Set Up
Access the Platform
Head to the EVEDEX website and open the exchange from the top menu. This launches the main trading terminal.
Connect a Wallet
To use the platform, you'll need to connect a crypto wallet. Popular options like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Rabby are supported. If you don’t already have one, EVEDEX also lets you generate a wallet using just an email — it’s still fully self-managed.
Add Funds
Before trading, make sure your wallet has some crypto in it. You can transfer from another wallet or use a fiat-to-crypto provider if your region supports it. Once funds are available, you’re ready to trade.
2. Understanding the Trading Interface
EVEDEX is designed to feel familiar if you’ve used any trading platform before — but without the clutter.
Choosing a Trading Pair
At the top of the screen, you'll see a dropdown to pick which pair you want to trade. What’s available depends on what vaults are live and which chain you’re connected to.
Price Chart
The center of the screen shows a real-time chart of the selected pair. You can switch timeframes and view candlesticks. Basic technical tools are being rolled out gradually.
Order Book
On the right, you'll see current buy and sell orders placed by users. This gives you a quick look at market activity and the spread — the difference between the top bid and ask prices.
Trade Panel
This is where you place your trades. You can go long or short, set your leverage, add stop-loss or take-profit levels, and review the key numbers like liquidation price before confirming through your wallet.
Open Positions
Once your trade is live, you can track it under the Positions tab. You’ll see your entry price, live PnL, and have the option to close or adjust the trade.
Trade History
All your past trades and closed positions are recorded in the History tab.
3. P2P Trading (Coming Soon)
EVEDEX is building a peer-to-peer trading layer that will let users trade directly with each other using smart contract-based escrow — no intermediaries involved. It’s in development and expected in a future update.
4. Security Highlights
EVEDEX doesn’t hold your funds, but there are still serious protections in place. The platform uses multi-level security — including cryptographic safeguards, smart contract execution, and optional session-based trading.
You control your keys, and all trades are finalized on-chain. There’s no centralized access to your funds at any point.
5. Getting Comfortable
If it’s your first time, start small to get a feel for how everything works. Use stop-losses to limit risk, especially in fast-moving markets. And keep an eye on the spread — it tells you how liquid a pair is. Limit orders are often the better choice when liquidity is thin.
