Step by Step: Your First Share with USDT

Using xStocks on Solana as the example — about 10 minutes end to end. This site is a non-custodial venue: every trade is signed by your own wallet; nobody (including us) can touch your funds.

Step 1 — Install a wallet

On mobile, pick any of Phantom, Solflare, OKX Wallet or Bitget Wallet (the "Connect wallet" panel can open this site inside those four wallets' in-app browsers with one tap; Backpack and others need the URL typed into their in-app browser):

1. Download only from official app stores (beware of fake wallets in search ads);
2. Create a wallet and hand-copy the seed phrase somewhere offline — the phrase is the money; anyone asking for it is a scammer;
3. Note your Solana address (looks like 7xKX…gAsU).

Buying a token on BNB Chain, Base or Robinhood Chain? Use an EVM wallet such as MetaMask or OKX and connect it under "EVM" in the "Connect wallet" panel (it can stay connected alongside your Solana wallet). You pay with USDT on BNB Chain, USDC on Base or USDG on Robinhood Chain, plus a little BNB / ETH for gas. These trades earn Genesis Points too.

Step 2 — Fund it with stablecoins and a little SOL

• Withdraw USDT or USDC on the Solana network from your exchange (network choice matters! The receiving address is your wallet's Solana address — the trade panel shows it with a Copy button while your balance is 0);
• Also withdraw ~0.05 SOL for gas — without SOL, transactions cannot be sent;
• Test with a small amount first (say 10 USDT), confirm arrival, then send more;
• No exchange account, holding ETH/BNB on another chain? Tap "Top up" in the trade panel to bridge straight into Solana USDC in your wallet.

Step 3 — Pick a stock: net edge first

Open the markets page:

• The premium column tells you whether the token is rich (+) or cheap (−) vs the real stock;
• The net edge column is your true advantage after platform fees and price impact — positive means buying on-chain beats the fair price right now;
• Trade only assets whose status is healthy and liquidity grade is A/B (shown in the trade section); grayed (degraded) rows mean conflicting data sources — wait; skip pools under $10k even when healthy, the mid price isn't fillable.

Step 4 — Place the order

In the trade panel on the asset page (or any DEX front-end you trust):

1. Choose the token to pay with (USDT/USDC) and the amount;
2. Check the quote: your execution ≈ the "$1k executable price" shown; for larger sizes read the $10k impact tier;
3. Slippage protection defaults to 1% here (if the fill would be more than 1% worse than the quote, the trade voids instead of executing) — no manual setting needed;
4. Verify the token's contract address in the wallet popup (must match this site / the official page) before signing.

Step 5 — Confirm and keep safe

The token appears in your wallet after confirmation (import the contract address manually if hidden). Long-term holders should know the issuer's proof-of-reserve page and glance at it now and then.

Common pitfalls: ① withdrawing USDT on Ethereum instead of Solana; ② no SOL left for gas; ③ signing a malicious approval on a fake site — bookmark our official links page.
