Depositing ETH into the DDEX for trading

Go to the trade section on the website (url coming soon! we’re not quite ready)

Select the “deposit” button (located in the bottom left area of the webpage)

Add the amount of ETH you want to deposit

In order to start buying coins/tokens, you need to transfer ETH from your MetaMask wallet to the DDEX smart contract. Enter the amount of ETH that you want to deposit into the smart contract to start buying any token of your choice.

Note: Do not deposit all your ETH; we require users to keep a small amount of ETH in their wallets to cover the gas fee (Ethereum network fee). This is for the cost of executing transactions on the Ethereum network. These transaction fees will be deducted from your wallet. Don’t worry, MetaMask will prompt you every time this happens so it’s not happening without your consent.

Confirm Transaction

You will see a MetaMask popup window — MetaMask requires users to confirm the transaction when requesting a deposit

Please ensure all information and numbers are correct and then click “SUBMIT”

You can select “RESET” to modify transaction detail or select “REJECT” to cancel the deposit.

After your deposit is complete, you’ll now see WETH in your balance. WETH is ETH that can be traded with ERC-20 tokens (confused? Read more: ETH and WETH: What’s the Difference?).

Lastly, before you can start submitting buy or sell limit orders to the order book, you need to accept our Ox Proxy contract. You’ll see a link to approve this on the left hand side of your screen:

Now, we’re ready to start trading!
