# Trading

Learn how to buy and sell coins on Feel.cash, review quotes and price impact, and settle supported trades into Cash on Base.

Trade the coins shown in Feel.cash from Cash without manually preparing a wallet on every chain.

Every coin has a canonical page at `https://feel.cash/:slug`. Use that page to check the network, full contract address, live quote, market fee, and route before confirming a trade.

> **Opening protection:** for the first 15 seconds after a new launch, its market fee decreases linearly from 50% to the normal 1.5%. Read the current quote before trading at launch.

## Buy

1. Open the coin page.
2. Enter how much Cash you want to spend.
3. Review the expected output, price impact, market fee, route, and any routing cost.
4. Confirm the trade.

## Sell

1. Choose how much of the coin to sell.
2. Review the expected Cash output, price impact, market fee, and route.
3. Confirm the trade.
4. The quoted route settles the result into Cash on Base.

## One Cash Balance Across Chains

For a market on another chain, Feel.cash routes value from your Base Cash balance into the trade and settles sale proceeds back into Cash whenever that route appears in the quote. You do not need to bridge it manually.

Cross-chain trades can take longer than same-chain trades. Do not submit the same trade again only because the final balance has not appeared. Check the operation status and transaction links first.

## IPOD-paired coins

IPOD-paired coins use a multi-hop route because IPOD is itself paired with AAPLc. A Cash buy can follow **USDC → AAPLc → IPOD → coin**; a sale follows the reverse path.

While external routers and indexers add complete support for these connected markets, Feel.cash is the recommended supported route. It resolves the canonical pools and checks the full atomic execution before asking you to sign. [Learn how IPOD Pairings work](/launch/ipod-pairings.md).

## Gas

Feel.cash sponsors or abstracts gas on the in-app routes marked as gasless. You do not need to keep a separate gas token for those routes.

The network still consumes gas. An external-wallet action or a route not marked as gasless requires you to pay it directly.

## Fees

Feel.cash does not add a separate app trading fee to official Feel.cash coins. The coin's onchain market fee and any disclosed routing cost still apply.

Fee rules can differ for legacy coins. Treat the quote and the coin page as authoritative for the exact market you are trading.

## Quotes and execution

A quote is an estimate for a specific route and moment. Before signing, check:

* the minimum amount you can receive, not only the expected amount;
* price impact and the slippage tolerance applied to execution;
* the market fee, routing cost, and current opening-protection fee;
* the quote expiry and every chain involved in the route.

A trade can fail if the quote expires, the market moves beyond the permitted slippage, liquidity changes, or a route becomes unavailable. Cross-chain operations can also complete in stages. A failed or expired quote is not trading volume and does not produce market fees.

Public blockchains expose pending transactions and cannot eliminate front-running or other MEV risk. Review the final wallet request before signing.

## Before You Confirm

Contract addresses matter more than names or tickers. Confirm the full address, chain, expected output, price impact, and fee every time. Onchain trades are irreversible, and no price or return is guaranteed.
