# Quick Start

This guide gets you from zero to your first funded position on Zirodelta in under 10 minutes.

**What you need before starting:**

* A wallet compatible with Hyperliquid (MetaMask or any EVM wallet)
* USDC on Hyperliquid (you can bridge from Arbitrum or other chains via the Hyperliquid bridge)

***

## Option A: Manual trade (no subscription required)

### Step 1: Connect your wallet

Go to [app.zirodelta.com](https://app.zirodelta.com) and click **Connect Wallet**. Zirodelta uses Privy for wallet connection. You can use MetaMask, WalletConnect, or an email/social login.

### Step 2: Approve builder fee

The first time you trade on Zirodelta, you will be prompted to sign an `approveBuilderFee` transaction. This is a one-time approval that authorizes Zirodelta to collect a 5bps builder fee on your perp orders. You sign this once per market type. It does not transfer any funds.

> **Note:** This approval lives on Hyperliquid L1. It is not a smart contract interaction. It is a signed message stored in Hyperliquid's order routing system.

### Step 3: Read the Farm Score

The market list shows every Hyperliquid perp ranked by **Farm Score™** (0–100).

* Score **above 70**: shorts are currently earning funding. The market is paying you to be short.
* Score **below 30**: longs are currently earning funding. The market is paying you to be long.
* Score **30–70**: contested signal, lower conviction.

Click any market to open the trading terminal.

### Step 4: Confirm the signal with CVD and OI Delta

Before entering, check two things:

* **CVD chart**: Is buy/sell pressure consistent with your intended side? Positive CVD (net buying) favors shorts earning funding when the market is overheated long.
* **OI Delta**: Is open interest growing? Rising OI with a high Farm Score confirms that new positions are entering the crowded side. And paying you to be on the other side.

### Step 5: Set your size and place the order

In the order panel on the right, set your position size in USD. The inline yield hints show **+$X/hr** and **+$X/day** at that size and the current funding rate. Place the order as a market order (IOC limit at current price).

## Option B: Autopilot delta-neutral (Pro subscription required)

Autopilot handles both legs of a delta-neutral trade automatically. You earn funding with zero directional exposure.

### Step 1: Subscribe to Pro

Go to **Portfolio > Subscription** in the app. The Pro tier costs **$10 USDC per 30 days**, paid on-chain via Hyperliquid's `usdSend` action. Send exactly $10 USDC to the Zirodelta treasury address shown in the app. Your subscription activates within one block.

> **Note:** Payment is verified on-chain. No credit cards, no off-chain billing.

### Step 2: Approve the agent wallet

Sign the `approveAgent` transaction. This authorizes Zirodelta's backend to submit orders on your behalf. Your funds stay in your account. The agent wallet has signing authority only, not custody.

### Step 3: Activate Autopilot on a market

In the trading terminal, switch to **Autopilot mode**. Select a market with a Farm Score above 70 (positive funding. This is the live path). Set your position size. Confirm.

Autopilot opens a **short perp + long spot** simultaneously. Both legs are equal in notional size. The position is delta-neutral. Price moves cancel between the two legs. Every hour, you receive funding from the longs paying shorts.

### Step 4: Monitor and close

Autopilot shows your open positions under **Portfolio**. You can see accumulated funding earnings, current health, and a close button. Autopilot will also automatically close positions if you set a funding rate threshold rule in the **Automation** tab.

## Option C: Zidee Wallet (mobile PWA. No perp knowledge required)

If you do not want to interact with the trading interface directly:

1. Open [wallet.zirodelta.com](https://wallet.zirodelta.com) on your phone, install as a PWA for an app-icon experience
2. Log in with Discord or email through Privy (no seed phrase to back up at sign-up)
3. Walk through the onboarding gates: deposit USDC → approve the agent → acquire ZDLT for tier
4. Autopilot runs delta-neutral strategies in the background once you cross the Mintaka tier (≥1,000 ZDLT)

You receive funding yield directly without ever seeing the order form. Designed for users who want passive yield and nothing else. See [Zidee Wallet](/zidee-wallet/overview.md) for the full walkthrough.
