Vortex Documentation
Everything you need to trade Solana tokens on Vortex.
1. Getting Started
- Create an account: Sign up with your Gmail address and verify the 6-digit code we email you.
- Create a wallet: A Solana wallet is generated in your browser. Write down the 12-word seed phrase and keep it offline — it is the only way to recover your wallet.
- Or connect an existing wallet: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and OKX are supported.
- Fund your wallet: Send SOL to your deposit address. You need SOL for trading and network fees.
2. Pulse — Token Discovery
Pulse streams live Solana market data into three lifecycle columns:
- New Mints — freshly launched, low market-cap tokens.
- Final Stretch — small-caps gaining momentum.
- Migrated — established pairs with deeper liquidity.
Set filters (min liquidity, volume, holders) to cut noise. Each row has a lightning Quick Buy button that buys using the per-column SOL amount shown in the column header — edit it to match your sizing.
3. Trading & Swap
The Swap tab routes through Jupiter across all major Solana DEXs. Before trading, open the gear icon:
- Slippage tolerance — 0.5–3% for established tokens; up to 5%+ for thin new launches.
- Priority fee — Fast / Turbo / Ultra. Higher fees land faster during congestion.
- Jito tip — optional bribe for priority block inclusion.
- MEV protection — routes to reduce sandwich-attack risk on buys.
4. Limit Orders
Limit orders watch the market and alert you when triggered:
- Buy limit — fills when price drops to your target.
- Sell limit / Take profit — triggers when price rises to your target.
- Stop loss — triggers when price falls below your level.
- Orders auto-expire after 30 days and can be cancelled any time from the Open Orders tab.
5. Portfolio
Track holdings, allocation pie chart and portfolio value history. The On-chain tab of Recent Transactions shows real deposits, sends and swaps pulled straight from the Solana blockchain, each linking to Solscan.
6. Security Best Practices
- Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone.
- Vortex will never ask for your seed phrase via email, Telegram or support.
- Use a dedicated trading wallet separate from long-term holdings.
- Always verify token contract addresses before buying — memecoins are high risk.
