First Safety Checklist

Before your first trade, walk this checklist top to bottom — terminal, wallet, token, settings, decision.

The terminal opens fast, but the first trade isn't a race. Five short blocks below cover everything worth confirming before sending an order. Skip them and the next thirty minutes become a forensic exercise; run them and the next thirty minutes become trading.

Read once, run every time

The same five blocks apply to every new account, every new device, and every fresh trading session.

TERMINAL AND ACCOUNT

• You're on the official GraphDex terminal URL — terminal.graphdex.io.

• Your browser is current.

• You signed in with the intended method (Sign In & Connect).

• The terminal shows a Connected state in the lower navigation.

WALLET

• The connected wallet is the one you intend to use — address matches.

• The wallet has enough funds for the trade and Solana network fees.

• You read every wallet prompt before approving it.

• You never share your seed phrase or private key — not with anyone, not via any channel.

TOKEN REVIEW

• You checked the token pair and the contract address.

• You reviewed Market Cap, Live Liquidity, transaction count, Volume, and price movement on the Token Page.

• You reviewed Audit Signals where shown on the row or token page.

• You understand audit signals are markers, not guarantees — a clean row is not a green light.

TRADING SETTINGS

• You reviewed Slippage (Slippage).

• You reviewed Priority fee and Validator bribe if you've enabled them (Priority Fee, Validator Bribe).

• You understand faster execution settings can increase cost (Risk of Fast Execution Settings).

• You understand trades can fail or execute at a worse price during volatile conditions (Execution Risks).

DECISION

GraphDex provides data and trading tools. It does not make trading decisions for you, and it does not guarantee execution, profit, or token safety.

• Don't trade funds you can't afford to lose.

• If anything on the checklist isn't true yet, pause until it is.

• If something behaves unexpectedly, use the Help Center.

Solana network conditions can move fast. A clean checklist run still doesn't guarantee execution — it only removes the avoidable failure modes.

FAQs

How long does the checklist actually take?

About 60 seconds once you know the pattern — terminal URL → connection state → wallet address and balance → token page glance → Trading Settings sanity. Slower the first few times.

Do I need to run it before every trade?

The terminal/account block can be a one-time check per session. Wallet, token review, and trading settings deserve a fresh glance before every order — settings drift and token state changes.

What if I'm not sure about a checklist item?

Don't skip it. Open the linked sub-page, read the section that matches your case, and come back. If something is unclear after that, send a report through the Help Center.

A wallet prompt looks weird — what do I do?

Cancel it. Confirm you're on the official GraphDex domain. Then retry the connection. See Wallet Security Notes.
