Toggle **Buy** or **Sell**, pick your pay asset, enter the amount, and confirm the wallet prompt. Done. Trade panel — buy mode with pay asset selector ## Pay assets Three assets, two chains. All trades settle on **Story**. Native gas token on Story. Default pay asset — no bridge needed. Works on both Story and Solana. Solana USDC is bridged to Story via Relay before the swap executes. Paid from your Solana embedded wallet. Bridged to Story through Relay, then swapped. When you pay with **SOL** or **Solana USDC**, the trade panel shows a Relay estimate before you sign. The actual amount can shift slightly between quote and execution due to market movement during the bridge. If you sell a position into SOL, the SOL lands in your **Solana embedded wallet**. ## Fees Every trade pays a swap fee — the trade panel shows the fee and your net amount before you confirm. Fees are split between the IP owner (or community treasury), UGC creators, token holders, the protocol, and the liquidity pool. For the full breakdown, see [Coin types → Fee distribution](/user-guides/coin-types#fee-distribution). ## Slippage Set your slippage tolerance in the trade panel before confirming. A tight setting on a volatile token will cause the transaction to revert if the price moves during the block. Loosen slippage for large trades or fast-moving markets. Slippage setting in the trade panel ## Common failures 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 navbar deposit. The 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. Read the error text, wait for the bridge to settle or retry — do not sign a replacement until the original has resolved. ## What's next Step-by-step walkthrough of buying and selling.
