Getting Started on Terminal One

Step 1: Get a Wallet

Terminal One is non-custodial. That means you connect your own crypto wallet — Terminal One never holds your funds.

If you do not have a wallet yet, the easiest options are:

MetaMask — The most popular browser extension wallet. Free, takes 2 minutes to set up. Download at metamask.io.

Coinbase Wallet — Simple mobile and browser wallet from Coinbase. Good for beginners.

Rainbow — Mobile-first wallet with a clean interface.

Once you have a wallet, you will need some ETH or USDC to trade with. You can buy ETH on any major exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and send it to your wallet.

Step 2: Connect to Terminal One

1. Go to t1.pro
2. Click "Connect Wallet" in the top right
3. Select your wallet type
4. Approve the connection in your wallet
5. Sign the authentication message (this does not cost gas)

You are now connected. Your wallet address appears in the top right corner.

Step 3: Explore the Markets

Click "Markets" in the navigation. You will see 500+ assets organized by sector.

Use the sector tabs to filter:

• Treasury Bills
• Real Estate
• Stocks & ETFs
• AI Tokens
• Private Credit
• Commodities
• Stable Yield
• RWA / DeFi Infra

Click any token to see its full detail page: price history, market cap, liquidity, security analysis, and the ability to buy.

Step 4: Make Your First Trade

On any token detail page:

1. Enter the amount you want to spend
2. Review the quote (you will see expected output, price impact, and gas cost)
3. If required, approve the token for spending (one-time per token)
4. Confirm the swap in your wallet
5. Transaction confirms on-chain in seconds

Step 5: Check Your Position

Go to "Positions" to see all your holdings, their current value, and your unrealized PnL.

Step 6: Earn Points

Every trade earns you T1 Points. Go to "Incentives" to see your balance, your tier, and how to earn more — including the referral program that pays you USDC from every swap fee your network generates.
