# Trading Terminal The Velvet Trading Terminal allows you to trade spot assets, perpetuals, or access DeFi pools directly from your wallet across multiple chains. No deposits or custodial transfers are required. Start by selecting your preferred chain, including Base, BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid, Ethereum, Monad, and Sonic, with additional networks continuously being added. Once selected, you can explore market views such as Trending, New Pairs, Top Gainers, and Highest Volume, with configurable filters and parameters. *** #### Trading
There are multiple ways to execute spot trades within the terminal, depending on the level of speed or control you need. Turbo Buy enables instant execution. Set your trade size once, then click the lightning icon next to any token to execute immediately. Trade Module provides full control. Clicking the trade arrows beside a token loads it into the trading panel, where you can preview routing, adjust amounts, and execute the swap. You can also open a token’s detailed page to view charts, onchain analytics, and live transactions. From there, you can trade into the token from any asset on that chain using the trading panel. *** #### Perps
Velvet integrates Hyperliquid directly into the Trading Terminal, allowing users to trade perpetual futures from the same interface used for spot and yield. Instead of managing perpetuals on a separate platform, users can access them as part of a unified trading and portfolio workflow inside Velvet. Hyperliquid serves as the execution layer for perpetuals, bringing a fully onchain order book, a unified perp trading API, and an expanding perp ecosystem through HIP-3 builder-deployed markets. Through Velvet, perpetuals become part of a broader portfolio view rather than an isolated trading activity. This expands what can be traded inside Velvet beyond crypto spot and DeFi positions. With Velvet Perps, users can trade crypto, stocks, and commodities directly from the terminal, all within a non-custodial onchain environment. Velvet’s perps experience also extends into the broader HIP-3 ecosystem, including protocols such as Trade\[XYZ], Dreamcash, HyENA, Kinetiq, and other builder-deployed perpetual markets as they come online. This gives users access to a wider range of perp opportunities through the same Velvet trading workflow. *** #### Trenches
The Trenches section is designed for trading newly launched tokens across Base, Solana, and BNB Chain from a single interface. Velvet integrates more than 40 launchpads, allowing users to discover and trade new launchpad assets without needing to jump across different platforms or workflows. Users can trade across the full lifecycle of a launch, including directly on the bonding curve as new assets begin trading. The interface includes filters to help identify promising opportunities faster, making it easier to sort through high volumes of new launches and focus on the tokens that match a user’s preferred setup or strategy. Velvet Unicorn AI also helps users analyze new launches by surfacing insights around token activity, momentum, and market context directly inside the trading workflow. This makes Trenches the easiest way to discover, analyze, and trade newly launched assets across chains. A slightly smoother version of the last line, if you want it to sound more polished: This makes Trenches the easiest way to discover, analyze, and trade newly launched assets across Base, Solana, and BNB Chain from one unified terminal. *** #### Advanced Order Types Velvet supports advanced execution tools for users who want more automation and precision. TP/SL (Take Profit / Stop Loss) allows users to define exit levels in advance so positions can be closed automatically when price targets or risk thresholds are reached. DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) automates recurring buys or sells over time to reduce entry volatility and accumulate or exit positions gradually. Limit Orders allow users to set a target price at which they want to buy or sell. The trade executes automatically once market conditions reach the specified level. Wallet Buys and Sells trigger trades based on the onchain activity of specific wallets such as developers, funds, or whales. When the tracked wallet buys or sells a token, Velvet can automatically mirror the action according to the user’s defined sizing and rules. *** #### AlphaHub
AlphaHub provides real-time trading signals generated by the Velvet Unicorn AI, focused on high-momentum memecoins and early-stage tokens. The interface surfaces tokens that are statistically primed for breakout or rapid price movement based on Velvet Unicorn strategies. Over 20 live strategies continuously scan markets and produce actionable signals. Users can subscribe to individual strategies and receive alerts when new opportunities appear, enabling faster entry into emerging trades directly from the terminal. *** #### Yield
The Yield section provides direct access to integrated DeFi pools across supported chains. You can browse opportunities by APY, TVL, and protocol, or search specific pools. Velvet integrates dozens of DeFi protocols, allowing you to enter or exit positions from the same execution panel used for trading. When depositing into a pool, the resulting position token is held directly in your wallet. *** #### My Positions
The My Positions tab provides a unified view of all tokens, perpetual positions, and DeFi positions held in your wallet. From this view you can monitor holdings, open charts, add favorites, or execute buy and sell actions instantly. Positions can be adjusted or closed without leaving the terminal, enabling continuous portfolio management from a single interface.
