Quickstart

Use Abyss DEX to exchange tokens, or supply tokens for other people to trade against and earn a share of fees. Start with the outcome you want: a trade changes what you hold; a liquidity position makes your assets available within a price range you choose.

Abyss DEX runs on Robinhood Chain mainnet, chain ID 4663. You need a compatible wallet, the assets you intend to use, and enough native ETH to pay network fees.

Exchange one asset for another

For example, if you hold WETH and want a token, choose WETH as the asset to spend and that token as the asset to receive.

1. Identify the assets. Compare token addresses, not just names or symbols. Use the address reference for Abyss contracts and its listed assets.
2. Choose the amount. A spending amount answers “How much can I sell?” A target receive amount, where supported, answers “How much do I need to receive?”
3. Review the quote. Compare expected output, fees and price impact. Check the route and your minimum receive amount or maximum spend. These limits define what you are willing to accept if the market moves.
4. Authorize only the intended spend. If the wallet asks for a token approval, check its token, spender and amount separately from the trade.
5. Confirm the trade and check the result. A submitted transaction is not yet a completed exchange. Wait for successful onchain confirmation and check the assets received.

If the quote expires or the trade fails, obtain a fresh quote before deciding again. A failed onchain transaction can still cost network fees. For route choices and recovery, continue to Trading and routing.

Put assets to work as liquidity

For example, a TOKEN/WETH provider can choose the prices at which their position offers TOKEN for WETH and WETH for TOKEN.

1. Choose the market. Check the pair, fee tier and pool profile. Separate pools for the same tokens can have different fees and liquidity.
2. Choose your range. A narrow range concentrates your contribution near selected prices. A wider range remains active through more price movement. Neither earns fees while the market price is outside the range.
3. Review the contribution. Check both asset amounts and the price boundaries before committing funds. The assets required depend on where the current price sits relative to your range.
4. Confirm and retain control of the position. Managed positions are represented by NFTs. Keep the position NFT in a wallet you control: transferring it transfers control of the position.

Completion means the position exists with the intended range and liquidity, not just that a transaction was submitted. Fees depend on trading activity and your active share; the changing asset mix can be worth less than simply holding your original assets. Continue to Liquidity positions to choose and manage a range.

If you want to open markets for a new token rather than join an existing one, start with Black Market launches.
