Getting started · Purrpetual

Connect a wallet, deposit USDC from Arbitrum One, and trade from one unified account.

Connect a wallet

Purrpetual is a wallet-first app. Connect any EVM wallet; the address you connect is your trading account. There is no sign-up, email or password. The connected address is shown top-right in the nav as 0x7a3f…2C9e next to your USDC balance.

Open the app and press Connect
Injected wallets, WalletConnect and Coinbase Wallet are supported.
Sign the session message
One signature per device. It authorises order signing for 7 days and never moves funds.
Deposit USDC
Deposits arrive from Arbitrum One in about 30 seconds.

Deposit USDC from Arbitrum One

Press Deposit in the nav, on the Portfolio page, or in the Account card on Trade. The sheet takes an amount, shows the source chain, estimated time and network fee, and settles into your unified account.

Field	Type	Description
amount	USDC	Amount to bridge in. Capped by the balance in the connected wallet.
from	chain = Arbitrum One	Source network. Other chains route through the same bridge and take longer.
time	duration = ~30 s	Time until the balance is credited and available as margin.
fee	USD = $0.04	Network fee paid on the source chain.

The unified account

Every product on Purrpetual draws from one USDC balance:

Perps margin is taken from it when you open a position and returned, plus or minus PnL and fees, when you close.
Vault deposits move USDC out of it into PLP; redeems bring USDC back after the lock-up.
Copy trading reserves the copy amount from it while a copy is active.
Referral rebates are credited to it weekly and shown as Claimable in Portfolio.

The nav balance is your free USDC. Net worth on the Portfolio page adds margin in use, unrealised PnL and vault value.
