Trading guide

A wallet on Robinhood Chain with some ETH. ETH pays for the coin and for the small network fee. If your funds are on another chain, use the Bridge.

Some coins are paired with TSLA instead of ETH. You buy those with TSLA, so you need TSLA in your wallet first; the trade panel does not turn ETH into TSLA for you. See Coins paired with TSLA.

The homepage shows every coin as a card:

• The name, with the ticker underneath.
• A version tag: V3 for coins launched on the new system, V2 for coins launched on the original system and for coins listed from elsewhere.
• Market cap, the 24-hour change and a progress bar toward graduation.

Use the tabs (Hot Now, Newest, Market Cap, Volume and more), the 24h / 7d age filter, or the search box at the top to find a coin by name, ticker or address. Always confirm a coin by its address, never just its name: anyone can launch a coin with any name.

Prices move. Slippage is how far the price may move between your quote and your trade before it is cancelled instead of filled. Choose 1%, 5% (the default) or 10% in the trade panel. Higher lets a trade through in a fast market at a worse price; lower protects you but more trades fail.

• The 1% pool fee, already included in the price you see. The pool keeps its own protocol share of it (currently one sixth). On coins launched on GEKKO, the rest is what pays creators, holders (on V3), the AI character and GEKKO.
• On coins listed from other launchpads, GEKKO adds a 1% interface fee when you trade them here.
• The network fee, paid in ETH, like any transaction on the chain.

Nothing is lost except the network fee for the attempt. Usual causes: the price moved more than your slippage allowed, or not enough ETH was left for the network fee. Try a smaller amount or a higher slippage.

On a coin paired with TSLA, a buy first asks your wallet to approve exactly that amount of TSLA, and your first sell asks you to approve the coin once. Each approval is its own transaction with its own small network fee.
