Advanced Trading

1. I signed up using my email / wallet. How do I start trading?

   After sign-up, deposit funds from your connected wallet into your Definitive Trading Vault on the desired chain to start trading.

2. Why do I need to deposit into a Definitive Trading Vault?

   Definitive’s Advanced Trading Vaults allow for automated trade execution that isn’t possible in your wallet (e.g. Limits, TWAPs, Stop). In addition, our vaults allow you to execute trades without signing for each and every transaction by authorizing a Trading Session that lasts up to 7 days. Trading Vaults come out-of-the-box with automated portfolio reporting, including real-time order fill analysis, per-position PnL, and activity history.

   Every Advanced Trading vault on Definitive is segregated from other clients that trade on our platform for best-in-class security. Trading vaults are owned by each user’s wallet - the user’s wallet has the sole ability to place trade orders and make withdrawals (including withdrawing funds directly onchain via Basescan, etc). Definitive has been audited multiple times by top-tier security firms and all audits can be viewed here.

3. How does gas work on Definitive?

   Definitive enables a “gas-less” trading UX - traders using Definitive never have to deal with gassing their Trading Vault. Definitive automatically determines the precise amount of gas execution cost for every trade and sponsors the gas on behalf of the trader. The execution costs are then deducted from the outcome of the trade.

4. How do I withdraw my funds?

   The Withdraw button is located on the right side of the trading terminal above the Positions table.

1. Are there any lock-up periods when depositing/trading?

There are no lock-up periods in the Definitive app. Definitive is fully non-custodial. All funds are always accessible by users and there are no-lockups. The user's wallet is the owner of the corresponding Trading Vaults on Definitive and is the only wallet authorized to place trade orders or make withdrawals.

1. How do I cancel a trade order?

Orders can be voluntarily canceled by navigating to the Orders tab under the trading chart, and clicking the red “X” on the far left

1. Can you integrate X chain?

We currently support Solana, Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon and Blast. We will always aim to prioritize chains with the highest demand from our traders / highest levels of trading activity. Please let us know if there are specific chains you want to trade on that we do not already support.

1. Are there fees charged on stable to stable swaps?

There are no fees charged for stable to stable swaps or wrapped to unwrapped assets.

1. How do I set a Stop Loss?

See our Stop Order page for details. Stop prices can be set in Notional USD terms.

1. How do I interact with Definitive on my mobile phone?

Our mobile UI is coming soon - stay tuned!

1. Does my vault receive airdrops from projects?

Each vault has its own unique address, which can be found under the “Vault Addresses” tab under the trading chart. Airdrops would be deposited to your vault if the project sends it to one of your Definitive vault addresses. Keep in mind, at the end of the day, it is up to the project/protocol whether Definitive vaults are eligible for airdrops or not.

1. I noticed a scam token; how can I remove it from my profile?

Please get in touch with the team by creating a Discord ticket and we will filter these tokens out. A feature is coming soon to allow users to self-manage this.

1. What chain is Definitive built on? Or is it a L1/L2?

Definitive is not built on any specific chain, but we support multiple chains including Solana, Base and major EVM chains.

1. How often does my TWAP execute?

TWAP execution (segments) are randomized in fill time and size as determined by our sophisticated smart order router to optimize for best-in-class execution prices. See our TWAP Order page for details.

1. Why are gas fees so much higher than yesterday?

Gas fees are out of our control and are based on network activity. If the network is congested or experiencing a high level of activity, gas fees may increase.

1. Where can I find more details on my past orders?

Each order has a PTR (Post Trade Report) with all trade fill details. To access your order’s Post Trade Report, click on the chart button in the Orders tab under the trading chart.
