The side menu, market pages, full-screen pro trading and pair chat.
The side menu
On screens 1024 pixels wide or more, the menu sits down the left of every page. On smaller screens it moves into a bar along the top. It holds:
| Item | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Markets | Every token, with price, volume and liquidity |
| Liquidity | Every market, to add auto-flip liquidity |
| Creators | Launch a new token or list an existing one |
| Rewards | Your LEAF, today's pot and the season pass |
| Analytics | Volume and activity across Lightbeam, read from the contracts |
| Search | Find a token by name, symbol or address. Press / |
| Bell | Your orders that other traders filled |
Token and market pages
A token page covers one token: open one from Markets. A market page covers one pair, such as LEAF against a dollar token: open one from a token page or from Liquidity. Both open in a simple view by default.
A token page shows its price chart, key stats and a trade panel with four tabs: Swap, Limit, Stop and Liquidity. Below the chart are its recent transactions and every market it trades in. On screens 1400 pixels wide or more, the order book sits beside the chart. A market page has the same layout for one pair, with that pair's order book and recent trades.
Full-screen pro trading
Turn on Full-screen pro trading at the foot of the side menu (or in the menu on a phone) and markets open as a trading terminal: order book, chart, recent trades and the order forms, all on one screen. You don't need a wallet to switch, and your browser remembers the choice. Turn it off to go back.
Pair chat
Every market has its own chat room. Above the trade panel, switch from Trade to Chat. Anyone can read it. To post, sign in by signing a message with your wallet. Signing is free and sends no transaction.
Chat runs on a Lightbeam server, the only part of the site that does. It sees your wallet address and your messages, never your funds.
Your wallet page
Press your address in the menu and choose My wallet.
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Tokens | Your balances, including tokens held in open orders |
| Orders | Your open limit orders, with a Cancel button on each |
| Liquidity | Your auto-flip positions. Open one to see its value, flips and orders, or to withdraw it |
| Swaps | Your past swaps, after fees |
