Connect your Wallet

Being a DeFi platform, Optimex does not use the conventional “accounts” system. In order to use services on the Optimex platform, users first need to connect their Web3 wallet.

It is worth noting that the Swap feature on the Optimex platform is cross-chain; it deals with two separate wallet addresses, each for a particular asset. In the following, let us refer to the asset you want to sell as base asset, and its corresponding wallet base wallet, and the asset you want to buy (or receive) as quote asset, and its corresponding wallet quote wallet.

For each Swap on the Optimex platform, the base wallet is required to be connected.

To connect the base wallet, click on the Connect Wallet button at the top right corner of the page.

The wallet selection pop-up will appear, prompting you to select your preferred Web3 wallet to connect to the Optimex platform as the base wallet for your Swap. Before authorising the connection, you’ll be required to tick the checkbox confirming that you’ve read and agree to the Terms of Use and Disclaimers. After agreeing, authorise the connection in your chosen Web3 wallet’s UI.

Funding your wallet: On-chain transactions typically require a network transaction fee payable in the chain’s native currency (e.g., BTC on Bitcoin, ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana). Please ensure your base wallet has sufficient funds to cover this fee.
