1. Connect a Cardano wallet that supports smart contracts (Eternl wallet is Recommended on desktop).
2. **(Optional)** To begin market making, select a pair from the drop down on the header and click **Fund** to deposit tokens.
3. Deposit ADA and at least an equal value of your token. For daily volume, target a 1:4 ratio of ADA to desired volume. Since trades are ADA-based, you can precisely control spend and track costs. Add as much of your token as possible - if its price rises while running, your token balance will drop, which may affect strategy performance.
4. Go to the wallet page, click **Generate Wallets**, and enter the number you want. We suggest 1 wallet per 1,000 ADA of target volume.
5. Navigate to the "Strategies" page. Click "Create Strategy" and enter the amount of Buys/Sells you would like your bot to execute daily.
6. Track your total volume and bot performance in the Dashboard tab
7. Add more liquidity, remove liquidity, create and delete new bots at anytime
