# Quick Start

This guide walks you through setting up PolyX and placing your first trade.

## Step 1: Start the Bot

Open Telegram and search for [**@polyxcopy\_bot**](https://t.me/polyxcopy_bot), or tap [**PolyX**](https://t.me/polyxcopy_bot). Send `/start` to begin.

## Step 2: Create Your Wallet

On your first visit, PolyX presents the onboarding screen with two options:

* **Create Wallet** — generates a new EVM wallet for you
* **Import Wallet** — bring your own wallet by entering a private key

<Tip>
  Most users should choose **Create Wallet**. Your wallet is created instantly and you can optionally give it a name (or type `/skip` to use the default label).
</Tip>

Once your wallet is ready, you’ll see the **Wallet** screen with deposit addresses for all supported chains.

## Step 3: Deposit Funds

From the wallet detail screen, copy the deposit address for your preferred chain:

| **Chain**    | **Supported Tokens** |
| :----------- | :------------------- |
| **Polygon**  | USDC, USDC.e         |
| **Solana**   | SOL, USDC, USDT      |
| **Ethereum** | ETH, USDC, USDT      |
| **BASE**     | ETH, USDC, USDT      |
| **BNB**      | BNB, USDC, USDT      |
| **Bitcoin**  | BTC                  |

Tap on any address to copy it. Send tokens from your external wallet to the displayed address.

<Warning>
  Minimum deposit amount is **\$10** worth of tokens. Deposits below this threshold may not be credited.
</Warning>

Your balance will update automatically. Use the **Refresh** button on the wallet screen to check.

## Step 4: Find a Market

There are two ways to find a Polymarket market:

#### Paste a Link

Simply paste any Polymarket event or market URL into the chat. PolyX will automatically display the market with current prices and trading buttons.

#### Browse from Positions

If you already have positions, navigate to **Positions** from the main menu and tap into any position to trade more.

## Step 5: Place Your First Trade

Once you’re viewing a market, you’ll see buttons for each outcome:

1. **Tap an outcome button** (e.g., “YES (45c)”) to start a buy order
2. **Choose an amount** — pick a preset (10,10,50, \$100) or enter a custom amount
3. **Confirm** — the order is submitted and you’ll see a confirmation message

That’s it! Your position will appear in the **Positions** screen. You can track P\&L, set limit orders, or sell at any time.
