Quickstart
This page takes you from nothing to your first swap in about five minutes. Each step links to a fuller guide if you want the details.
1. Install the app
DeGate is app-first. Get it here:
2. Create your wallet
Create a new wallet with a 12-word recovery phrase (Create Wallet), import or connect one you already have (Import Wallet / Connect External Wallet), or use Continue with Email for the fastest start. If you plan to hold higher-value assets, prefer Create/Import Wallet or a hardware wallet. Full walkthrough: Create a Wallet.
3. Fund your wallet
Tap Receive, copy your address for the chain you are sending from (or scan the QR code), and send. Your DeGate address works across all EVM chains; Solana, Aptos, and Bitcoin have their own address formats. Incoming deposits are detected automatically, and deposits from different networks land in one unified balance.
4. Make your first swap
Pick the token you want and pay with your USDC. DeGate quotes a price, handles any cross-chain routing and gas in the background, and settles into your balance. Step-by-step guide: Your First Swap.
