# Quick start: Fund, Scan, Trade

Three steps to go from zero to your first swap.

## 1. Fund

Deposit **SOL** to the wallet address the bot shows you after `/start`.

* Open **🏦 Wallets** → copy your public address (or scan the QR code).
* Send SOL from Phantom, Solflare, or an exchange withdrawal.
* Wait for confirmation — the bot detects deposits automatically.

You need SOL for trades **and** network fees (priority fees use extra SOL when set high).

## 2. Scan

Paste any of these **directly into the chat** with the bot:

* Token **contract address** (base58 mint)
* **Pump.fun** link
* **DexScreener** link

The bot opens the **Trading UI** — a live dashboard for that token with price, market cap, security checks, and buy/sell buttons.

## 3. Execute

From the Trading UI:

1. Pick a buy preset (e.g. **0.1 SOL**) or tap **Custom Buy**.
2. Confirm — the bot routes via Jupiter / Pump.fun with your **Priority Mode** (Standard / Fast / Turbo).
3. When you want out, use **Sell 25% / 50% / 100%** or **Custom Sell**.

Verify every transaction on [Solscan](https://solscan.io) if you want an on-chain receipt.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hipersnipe.com/getting-started/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
