DZERO
Guides

Getting started

You need: An invited wallet and USDC on two of the supported DEXs.

Six steps

  1. 01
    Sign in
    Open the invite link and sign in with the wallet it was made for. Signing in only signs a message: no transaction, no gas. Read and accept the risk notice.
  2. 02
    Fund two DEXs
    Deposit USDC on at least two DEXs DZERO trades: Lighter (Robinhood chain), Arcus, Bulk, Entropy, RiseX, QFEX, Nado or Imperial. Your funds stay in your own account on each DEX.
  3. 03
    Connect them
    Accounts → Connect a DEX. Your wallet approves a trading key for that DEX. The key places and cancels orders and sets leverage; DZERO never withdraws. Repeat for the second DEX.
  4. 04
    Create a bot
    On the Bots page, pick a Funding bot, a Delta-neutral bot or the Funding farm, then set the margin per leg, leverage and hold. The plan on the right shows what one trade looks like before you create it.
  5. 05
    Start live
    Press Start live and confirm. The first time a bot trades on a DEX it places a small limit order (about $10) that can't fill, cancels it and checks the DEX agrees. On Imperial, which can't rest orders, it opens about $20 and closes it at once.
  6. 06
    Watch it
    The bot card shows its state, the hedge, and its results from the DEXs' own fills. Connect Telegram in Settings for alerts and trade results on your phone.

How much margin

Margin per leg is what each DEX holds for one side. Position size is margin × leverage: $100 at 10x is a $1,000 long on one DEX and a $1,000 short on the other.

The builder suggests 60% of your smaller DEX balance. Keep the rest free: it absorbs price moves while the pair is open, and a bot can't enter if a DEX is short of margin. Nado's smallest order is $100.

Stopping

  • Stop on a bot closes its trade right away with market orders.
  • Pause opens no new trades. A trade already open still closes at its normal time and stays under every guard.
  • The emergency stop at the top of every page blocks every new position at once. Orders that close positions still go through.
DZERO

Perpetual futures are risky. A hedge removes most price risk, not all of it: orders can fill unevenly, DEXs can go down and funding can turn against you. Rates shown are past readings, not a promise. Nothing here is financial advice.
