Welcome to GX Exchange. This section walks you through everything you need to start trading, staking, or building on GX Chain.

Quick Links

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

1. An Ethereum-compatible wallet — MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallet, Ledger hardware wallet, or Privy embedded wallet
2. USDC on Arbitrum One — GX Exchange deposits are made through Arbitrum. You need USDC on Arbitrum One to fund your trading account.
3. A small amount of ETH on Arbitrum — Required to pay gas fees for the deposit transaction (typically less than $0.10)

If you are new to crypto wallets, we recommend starting with MetaMask as it is the most widely supported option.

4. Trade perpetual futures on GX Core
       |
5. Withdraw anytime (multi-validator approval + timelock)

Your funds are secured by the GXVault smart contract on Arbitrum One. Deposits are credited to your GX Chain account by the validator network. All trades are executed on GX Core’s native matching engine with sub-millisecond latency.

Withdrawals require a 24-hour timelock and two-thirds validator signature approval, ensuring security without sacrificing user control.
