Getting started
Wave places a wave: a ladder of Uniswap positions across a price range, minted in one transaction and managed as one thing.
What you need
- A wallet that can add a custom network. On mobile, open Wave inside your wallet's browser.
- Arc mainnet in the wallet. Wave offers to add or switch to it when you connect.
- USDC on Arc. It's the gas token and what most waves are denominated in.
- The token you want to sell, if you're placing an ask wave. The pool page has a swap card if you don't hold it.
Gas is cheap:
- A full build: a few cents.
- Collecting fees: a fraction of a cent.
Connecting
- Click Connect wallet, top right.
- More than one wallet installed? You'll get a picker.
- Nothing happens? Wave couldn't find a wallet. Open the site inside your wallet app.
The pages
- Waves — the leaderboard. Click a row to build in that pool.
- Positions — your waves, what they're worth, what they've earned, and the collect / close buttons.
- Stake — coming soon.
Your first wave
- Pick a pool with real trading and real liquidity. The board hides tiny pools and leaves out drained ones.
- Choose a strategy. Bid buys below the price with USDC. Ask sells above the price. Two-sided earns fees around the price.
- Set a range and a shape. Presets run from 5% to 50% from the current price.
- Enter an amount. The preview on the right is the contract's own calculation.
- Build. Approve once for the exact amount, then sign. Your wave appears under Positions.
Note
Wave's fee is 5% of the trading fees your wave earns, taken when you collect them. No fee on deposits, withdrawals or principal.
