Questions

You log in to QFEX with a wallet, or you are new: Sign & connect. You log in with Google or email: the API key. Not sure? The API key works for everyone.
Do I pay gas?
No. The wallet signatures are free messages. Your only deposit transaction is the USDC you send to QFEX.
Can Vesper withdraw my money?
No. Vesper only places and cancels orders. With wallet sign-in, the key QFEX creates can send funds only to withdrawal addresses you added yourself. Real orders can still lose money.
I signed with my wallet, but QFEX could not read the account

Which market should I start with?
The S&P 500 (US500). It has the lowest total cost per round trip on QFEX and trades 24/7.
