# Trading a token

## Trading a token

Open any token from Discover → `/token/[address]`.

### Layout

| Region    | Content                                             |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Left**  | Chart, recent trades tape, holders table            |
| **Right** | Trade panel (buy/sell), optional bundle panel below |

### Single trade panel

1. **Wallet dropdown** — browser wallet, Google Zardoz wallet, or a vault trading wallet
2. **Buy** — spend ETH for tokens; preset buttons fill amount
3. **Sell** — sell a % of your bag on this token
4. **Slippage** — default 5%; raise on thin books or low liquidity

#### Approvals

First sell on a new token may require an ERC-20 **approve** to the swap router.

| Wallet type            | Approve behavior                             |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Zardoz / vault wallets | Can approve in background once you open Sell |
| MetaMask / Rabby       | One-time approve prompt per token            |

#### Execution path

Swaps route through **Uniswap V3 SwapRouter02** on Robinhood Chain mainnet:

`0xCaf681a66D020601342297493863E78C959E5cb2`

Quotes and execution use on-chain pool state — verify output amounts before confirming.

### Chart modes

| Mode     | Engine              | Notes                                         |
| -------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Pro**  | GeckoTerminal embed | MCAP axis default; resolutions down to **1s** |
| **Lite** | Built-in            | `/api/candles` + lighter renderer             |

Your last choice (Pro/Lite, resolution, MCAP vs price axis) persists in browser local storage.

#### Chart API

```
GET /api/candles?token=0x…&interval=5m&pool=0x…&network=mainnet
GET /api/trades?token=0x…&pair=0x…&network=mainnet
```

| Param      | Description                                  |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `token`    | Token contract address                       |
| `interval` | Candle interval (`1m`, `5m`, `15m`, `1h`, …) |
| `pool`     | Optional pool address hint for routing       |

***

### Holders & stats

```
GET /api/holders?token=0x…&network=mainnet
GET /api/token/0x…?network=mainnet
GET /api/stats?network=mainnet
```

Token detail merges pad metadata, DEX stats, and on-chain fields.

***

### Launch Agent (creators only)

Visible only if you are the token **creator** (dev wallet or Instant launch from this client):

* Configure auto fee claim intervals
* Optional buyback parameters
* On-chain agent tuple set at Instant `create` time

Everyone else never sees this panel.

***

### Risk notes

{% hint style="warning" %}
Robinhood Chain has **no private mempool / MEV protection**. Frontrunning and sandwich risk exist on volatile pairs.
{% endhint %}

| Symptom         | Try                                          |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Trade reverts   | Increase slippage; check ETH for gas         |
| Wrong output    | Pool may be illiquid — reduce size           |
| Token not found | Indexer lag — wait or paste address directly |

## 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:

```
GET https://zardoz.gitbook.io/zardoz-docs-1/trading-a-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
