Transitioning to Decentralized Sovereignty
Welcome to the Official RabbitX Setup & Quick Guide. RabbitX is not just another exchange; it is a global, permissionless, non-custodial derivatives platform. By utilizing Starkware technology, RabbitX offers the speed of a centralized exchange (CEX) with the security of a decentralized protocol (DEX).
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of initializing your account, securing your assets in "Unique Coolers" (isolated hardware-backed environments), and executing your first perpetual trade.
Connecting via Official RabbitX Site
To begin, ensure you are accessing the platform via the verified domain. The setup process is designed to be "gasless" for many onboarding functions.
- Click on the "Connect Wallet" button in the top right corner.
- Select your provider (MetaMask, Ledger, or WalletConnect).
- Sign the "Onboarding" message. This message does not cost gas; it simply authenticates your identity on the Layer 2 engine.
Unique Coolers: Secure Your Assets
A "Unique Cooler" refers to the practice of isolating your trading capital from your long-term storage. RabbitX encourages users to maintain a dedicated "Trading Cooler"—a specific sub-account or wallet address—to manage risk effectively.
Building Your Cold Storage Cooler
For maximum security, connect your RabbitX account to a Ledger or Trezor. This ensures that while you trade on the L2 high-speed orderbook, your actual withdrawal authority remains in your hand (offline). Even if a computer is compromised, the "Cooler" remains frozen and inaccessible to hackers.
The Power of Layer 2 (Starkware)
RabbitX utilizes ZK-Rollup technology. This means your trades are bundled together and validated on the Ethereum Mainnet, but the execution happens instantly on RabbitX. You get:
- Zero Gas Fees: Pay nothing for placing or canceling orders.
- Instant Execution: Millisecond latency for professional scalping.
- High Leverage: Access up to 20x leverage on major pairs like BTC, ETH, and SOL.
Funding and Deposit Tiers
| Asset | Network | Min Deposit | Settlement |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDC | Ethereum L1 | $100 | Real-time |
| USDT | Arbitrum / Optimism | $50 | Real-time |
Once your deposit is confirmed on the blockchain, the RabbitX engine recognizes your "Buying Power." You can then begin opening positions in the Perpetual markets.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is RabbitX KYC required?
RabbitX is a permissionless protocol. It does not require traditional KYC, though certain geographic restrictions may apply based on IP address filtering to comply with local regulations.
What happens if the website goes down?
Since RabbitX is built on Starkware, your funds are protected by smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. You can always use a "Force Withdrawal" tool directly via the L1 smart contract if the front-end interface is ever unavailable.
Ready to Trade?
You are now equipped with the knowledge to navigate the RabbitX ecosystem safely. Remember: Keep your coolers cold and your trades calculated.
