Surge documentation

Start here to learn how Surge works and create your first strategy.

Surge is a non-custodial automated trading platform for Cardano. You connect a Cardano wallet, set up a strategy, and Surge watches the market and executes it automatically. Your keys never leave your browser. Every trade is signed there by a wallet only you control, within limits you set.

Before you begin

Two things to know before anything else:

  • Leave the Surge tab open. Trades are signed in your browser, so a strategy runs unattended for as long as the tab is open and connected — but pauses if you close it. See How non-custodial works.

  • Trades on Cardano DEXes are not instant. An order normally takes 1–2 minutes to fill, and on some DEX's an order that cannot fill stays open until you cancel it. See How trading on Cardano DEXes works.
