What matters when you trade
- Approvals. Every swap, deposit and order is one approval. Transactions are prepared before your click so the wallet window opens straight away.
- 1-click. Enabling it asks your wallet to add one limited key (how 1-click works). After that, trades need no popup.
- Gas money. Keep about 0.1 NEAR in the account (gas fees).
- Your secret phrase. Whoever has it owns the account. No site, admin or support agent needs it; never type it into a website.
Wallets from other chains
For paying in from another chain, the swap's Pay from buttons work with MetaMask, Rabby and any EIP-6963 wallet (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum), and Phantom, Solflare and Backpack (Solana). For a payout address it can also read Bitcoin wallets (UniSat, OKX, Phantom) and TronLink. These wallets only send the deposit on their own chain; your NEAR wallet still receives and signs on NEAR.
Questions people ask
Which NEAR wallet is best for trading?
Any wallet that connects (Meteor, HOT, Intear Wallet or MyNearWallet) signs every trade type. Pick the one you keep your NEAR in; for many quick trades, 1-click removes the popups.
Why doesn't my wallet appear in the list?
The site offers the wallets in its wallet list: Meteor, HOT, Intear Wallet and MyNearWallet. Inside the Meteor app's browser only Meteor is offered.
Can I use MetaMask to trade on NEAR?
Only to pay in from Ethereum, Base or Arbitrum. Trades on NEAR are signed by a NEAR wallet.
Is it risky to connect my wallet to a trading site?
Connecting only lets the site ask for approvals; nothing moves until you approve in the wallet. Read each request and never share your secret phrase.
