Buy a token

1

Open the token page

Search or browse the feed, then tap the token you want to trade.
2

Open the trade panel

On the right side of the token page, make sure Buy is selected.
3

Pick your pay asset

Choose $IP, $USDC, or $SOL from the asset selector. If you pay with SOL or Solana USDC, the app bridges it to Story via Relay before the swap — you’ll see the estimate before you sign.
4

Enter the amount

Type how much you want to spend. The panel shows the estimated tokens you’ll receive and the fee.
5

Confirm

Tap Buy and approve the wallet prompt. Your new balance shows up once the transaction lands.

​
Sell a token

1

Switch to Sell

Toggle to Sell in the trade panel on the token page.
2

Enter the amount

Type how many tokens to sell, or use the percentage shortcuts (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
3

Pick your receive asset

Choose which asset you want to receive. If you sell into SOL, the SOL lands in your Solana embedded wallet.
4

Confirm

Tap Sell and approve the wallet prompt.

​
Set slippage

Before confirming a trade, tap the slippage setting in the trade panel. A tight tolerance on a volatile token will cause the transaction to revert if the price moves during the block. Loosen it for large trades or fast-moving markets.

If something goes wrong

You cancelled the wallet prompt. Just try again.
You need more $IP for gas, or more of the pay asset you selected. Fund your wallet from the wallet menu or the Quickstart.
Your trade would push your wallet over the 2% cap inside the 5-minute anti-snipe window on newly launched tokens. Wait for the window to pass or reduce your trade size.
A SOL or Solana USDC route failed mid-bridge. Your funds stay on the source chain. Wait for the bridge to settle or retry — don’t sign a replacement until the original has resolved.
