# Trade coins

> Buy and sell tokens on ip.world — step-by-step.

## Buy a token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the token page">
    Search or browse the feed, then tap the token you want to trade.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the trade panel">
    On the right side of the token page, make sure **Buy** is selected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Type how much you want to spend. The panel shows the estimated tokens you'll receive and the fee.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Tap **Buy** and approve the wallet prompt. Your new balance shows up once the transaction lands.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Sell a token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch to Sell">
    Toggle to **Sell** in the trade panel on the token page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Type how many tokens to sell, or use the percentage shortcuts (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your receive asset">
    Choose which asset you want to receive. If you sell into SOL, the SOL lands in your **Solana embedded wallet**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Tap **Sell** and approve the wallet prompt.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="User rejected">
    You cancelled the wallet prompt. Just try again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Insufficient funds">
    You need more **\$IP** for gas, or more of the pay asset you selected. Fund your wallet from the wallet menu or the [Quickstart](/user-guides/getting-started#fund-your-wallet).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Anti-snipe limit exceeded">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Relay did not complete">
    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.
  </Accordion>
