# Getting Started

Jetbit runs on BNB Smart Chain, and you trade straight from your own wallet. There is no signup form, no email, and no password. You connect a wallet, move USDT into your vault, and you are ready to trade. This page covers all of it, from connecting to placing your first trade to taking your funds back out.

## What you need first

* A wallet that works with BNB Smart Chain, such as MetaMask, Rabby, or another BNB Chain wallet
* At least 10 USDT on BNB Smart Chain, since 10 USDT is the minimum deposit
* A small amount of BNB in the same wallet to cover the network fee when you deposit and withdraw

## Connect your wallet

Open the Jetbit app and click Connect in the top right, then pick your wallet and approve the connection request.

If your wallet is pointed at another network, Jetbit asks you to switch to BNB Smart Chain. Approve the switch and you are in. Your wallet address now shows in the top right, and that address is your account. Nothing else to register.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Deposit USDT into your vault

Click Deposit in the top right. A window opens where you deposit USDT on-chain to your vault balance.

1. Enter the amount of USDT you want to deposit, or click MAX to use your full wallet balance.
2. Check the details. The network reads BSC · USDT, the minimum deposit is 10 USDT, and for USDT no token approval is needed.
3. Click Deposit and confirm in your wallet. You pay a small BNB network fee.

Once the deposit confirms on-chain, Jetbit reads the receipt from the blockchain and credits your vault balance. Your USDT is never sent to a company wallet or a shared address. It sits in the vault, and the keys stay with you.

After your first deposit, trading is gas-free. Opening, closing, take-profit, stop-loss, and funding all run inside the Jetbit engine and do not touch the chain again until you withdraw.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Place your first trade

1. Open Markets and pick a market, or click Trade to go straight to the trading screen.
2. Choose Long if you think the price will rise, or Short if you think it will fall.
3. Pick Market to fill right away at the current price, or Limit to set your own price.
4. Set your margin mode and leverage. More on leverage below.
5. Enter your size, or drag the collateral slider to commit a share of your balance.
6. Review the entry price and liquidation price, then open the position.

Your position fills instantly against the Jetbit liquidity pool. There is no order book and no waiting for someone to take the other side, so there is always a market. Once you are in, the status bar along the bottom keeps your equity, unrealized profit and loss, margin used, and health in view.

### About leverage

Leverage on Jetbit is set per market. Many markets go up to 25x, larger markets like BTC go higher, and only a small number reach the platform ceiling. Higher leverage means a smaller price move can close your position at a loss, so it pays to start at a lower multiple while you get familiar with the platform. Set a stop-loss and keep an eye on your liquidation price.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Withdrawing your funds

You can withdraw at any time using the Withdraw button in the top right. The amount you can take out is the lesser of your free margin and the balance backed by USDT in the vault, so every withdrawal is covered by real funds.

Small withdrawals are signed by you and pay out from the vault right away. Larger withdrawals above a set size go into a short review queue and are released by a multisig, which is a safety check on unusually large outflows.

## Prefer a managed account?

Alongside the self-custodial vault, Jetbit offers a managed account that tracks your spot and futures balances with in-app deposit and withdrawal. This mode trades some custody for convenience and suits people who would rather not handle a wallet directly. The rest of these docs assume the self-custodial vault.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
