Quickstart for Takers

Place your first RFQ in five steps. You will need an EVM wallet and funds on HyperCore or HyperEVM.

1. Connect your wallet​

Go to app.silhouette.exchange and click Connect Wallet.

2. Deposit funds​

Deposit the token you want to trade with. Your funds can sit on HyperCore or HyperEVM; settlement always returns funds to the chain you started from.

3. Request a quote​

Choose an instrument, a side (buy or sell), and the amount you want to trade. Optionally set a price limit; a quote outside your limit can never win, and makers never see it.

4. Accept a quote​

Makers compete for your trade during the quote window. You have two options:

  • Auto-accept: the best conforming quote is accepted for you when the window closes.
  • Manual: review the competing quotes and accept one yourself before the deadline.

If no conforming quote arrives, the RFQ is cancelled and any locked funds are released.

5. Track the trade​

Follow the trade to settlement in your activity view. A settled trade carries the on-chain settlement transaction. See How RFQs Work for every state a trade can pass through.
