How to Trade BRC-20s on BeFi Labs: A Step-by-Step Guide

You've done your research. You understand the experimental nature of [BRC-20 tokens] and you've evaluated the role that BeFi Labs aims to play in this new ecosystem. Now, you're ready to move from theory to practice. This guide is designed to be your straightforward user manual, walking you through the exact steps required to connect to the BeFi Labs platform and execute your first BRC-20 trade.

Before You Begin: Your BRC-20 Toolkit

To interact with any platform in the Bitcoin Ordinals space, you need a specific type of wallet. A standard Ethereum wallet like MetaMask will not work. You will need a Bitcoin wallet that is compatible with BRC-20s and Ordinals. The two most popular choices are UniSat Wallet and Xverse Wallet. You will need to install one of these as a browser extension and securely back up your seed phrase. Additionally, you will need some Bitcoin (BTC) in this wallet to pay for network transaction fees.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Trading on BeFi Labs

Once your compatible wallet is set up and funded with a small amount of BTC for gas fees, you are ready to connect to the platform.

• Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
  Navigate to the BeFi Labs official website. You will find a "Connect Wallet" button, typically in the top-right corner. Click this and select your wallet (e.g., UniSat). A pop-up from your wallet extension will ask you to approve the connection. Confirm this to link your wallet to the platform.
• Step 2: Navigate the Trading Interface
  Once connected, you will be taken to the trading terminal. The interface is designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used a centralized exchange. You will typically see a price chart in the center, an order book on one side, and the trade execution panel on the other.
• Step 3: Select Your BRC-20 Token
  In the trade execution panel, find the market selector. Here, you can browse or search for the specific BRC-20 token you wish to trade.
• Step 4: Place Your Order
  You will have options for different order types. The two most common are a "Market Order," which buys the token at the best available current price, and a "Limit Order," which allows you to set a specific price at which you are willing to buy or sell. Enter the amount you wish to trade.
• Step 5: Sign and Confirm the Transaction
  After you have set your order parameters, you will click "Buy" or "Sell." Your BRC-20 wallet will pop up one last time to ask you to "sign" and confirm the transaction. This is your final authorization. Once you approve it, your order is sent to be processed.

A Final Word on Risk

Trading on any new platform, especially one dealing with an experimental technology like BRC-20s, carries inherent risks. Always start with a small amount of capital that you are fully prepared to lose. The goal is to learn the mechanics of the platform and the ecosystem safely. Before you begin, it's wise to have a complete understanding of the platform's native token and its role, as detailed in our main guide: [What Is the WlFi Token? A Guide to the BeFi Labs Crypto].

To fund your BRC-20 wallet with the necessary Bitcoin for gas fees, or to acquire the WlFi token itself, you can find a liquid and secure market on the BYDFi spot exchange.
