# Quick Start

Get set up on HertzFlow — wallet, testnet funds, and your first steps.

{% step %}

## **What you need**

<figure><img src="https://219277942-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhOhbsStDwzyOGMriEWAP%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1831a0ff5071d70b32a0bb5011ff9032de900373%2Ftutorial-walletconnect.png?alt=media" alt="" width="348"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **A wallet on BNB Chain:**
  * Binance Wallet, MetaMask, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet
  * Keep at least 0.01 BNB for gas fees at all times (a typical trade costs approximately 0.001–0.003 BNB)
* **USDT on BNB Chain** for trading collateral or LP deposits. Bridge or on-ramp from other chains if needed.
* **A modern browser:** Chrome, Brave, Edge, or Safari. Use the wallet's built-in browser on mobile.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## **Connect your wallet**

<figure><img src="https://219277942-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhOhbsStDwzyOGMriEWAP%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e96dff847f9dfea0e1ed8cf62dcee8a2e274e7b1%2Ftutorial-connectbtn.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Open the [HertzFlow dapp](https://www.hertzflow.xyz/) and click **Connect** (top right)
2. Select your wallet and approve the connection
3. HertzFlow runs **mainnet and testnet side by side** — pick the network in your wallet or the in-app selector. **Mainnet** trades with your own USDT; **BNB Testnet** is for free, risk-free practice.
4. On **testnet**, click **Claim Faucet** (top right) to open the **Get Test Funds** dialog

<figure><img src="https://219277942-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhOhbsStDwzyOGMriEWAP%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-290046c1132be95a701c0686bddaffce6ed3af37%2Fclaim-faucet.png?alt=media" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The faucet sends **100 test USDT** to your connected wallet and can be claimed once every **24 hours**. You need **more than 0.01 testnet BNB** for gas first — use the **Get testnet BNB** link in the dialog if your balance is low.

{% hint style="info" %}
The faucet is **testnet-only** — on mainnet you trade with your own USDT. Testnet tokens have no real value. Your wallet connection persists across sessions, and HertzFlow never requests your private keys or seed phrase.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## **Fund your account**

* **Already have USDT on BNB Chain?** You're ready to go. Just make sure you have enough BNB for gas (≥ 0.01 BNB).
* **Transferring from another chain or CEX?**
  * **Bridge:** Use your preferred bridge service to move USDT to BNB Chain
  * **CEX withdrawal:** Select BNB Chain (BSC) as the destination network
  * **Double-check:** Verify you're sending to BNB Chain, not Ethereum or another network. USDT contract addresses differ across chains.

{% hint style="info" %}
Cross-chain transfers take time and may involve swap fees. Always verify the token symbol and destination network before sending.
{% endhint %}

**Two trading modes:** When you reach the trade page, you'll see a **Normal / Hyper Lev** toggle:

* **Normal mode** — standard open/close fees, supports market and limit orders, eligible for loss rebates
* **Hyper Lev mode** — zero open/close fees with profit sharing, market orders only, higher leverage range but greater liquidation risk

Start with Normal mode to learn the basics.
{% endstep %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hertzflow.gitbook.io/hertzflow-docs/tutorials/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
