Introduction

In this guide I will show you how to interact with the ZKX platform/testnet.

ZKX is pioneering the offering of complex financial instruments as swaps on a perpetual futures exchange based on StarkNet. Their decentralized solutions are expanding, encompassing a derivatives exchange that is proprietary, modular DAO software, and developer tools that utilize zero-knowledge technology.

Step 1

First, we need to open MetaMask, if you don't have a MetaMask wallet you can follow our quick guide here: How To Setup MetaMask.

Open MetaMask & switch the network to "Goerli", if you don't have Goerli on MetaMask, you can follow our other quick guide here: How To Add Goerli Network to MetaMask




Step 2

Now we need to claim some test tokens, to do this, go to goerlifaucet.com, login to Alchemy in the top right corner, then insert your ETH wallet address (from MetaMask) and hit "Send me ETH".




Step 3

Now let's get started with ZKX!

Go to polaris.zkx.fi/trade/portfolio & connect your MetaMask wallet.

You may have to wait 10 Mins for the account creation cool-down time.




Step 4

Let's open some trades!

Select "Trade" on the left side.

On the right side, insert any amount of ETH, select how much leverage you want to use, then hit "Open Long".






Step 5

We can also do a Short position for extra network interaction!

So do the same as the previous step, but this time select "Open Short" instead.
