Trading on HopiumSwap is very easy compared to most exchanges. You aren't going to be overwhelmed by charts or jargon, and calculations are all handled for you.

### Getting set up to trade

Before you can trade, you will need a Polygon Network-compatible wallet. You will also need to have some POLY ERC-20 tokens to trade with.

### Trading on the HopiumSwap exchange

1\. Go to the exchange page here.

2\. Unlock your Polygon Network-compatible wallet by clicking **Unlock Wallet** (you can also **Connect** in the top right-hand corner). If you haven't yet connected your wallet to HopiumSwap, you can view the guide to [here](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/get-started/connection-guide).
