# Trading Overview

Everything a trader can do on Novamp — discover coins across five chains, trade them on real pools, and track your positions — in one place.

{% hint style="info" %}
Novamp is **non-custodial**. Every trade is a transaction your own wallet signs; Novamp finds the price and builds the transaction, but your keys and funds stay with you.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Novamp is a cross-chain trading terminal. It aggregates launches and markets across `🟢 Robinhood Chain (4663)`, `🔵 Base (8453)`, `🟡 BNB Chain (56)`, `⚪ Ethereum (1)`, and `🟪 Solana`, and gives you three ways to act on what you find:

| Trade a specific coin    | [📊 Token Detail Pages](/traders/token-detail.md) | Live chart, holders, trades, buy/sell panel       |
| Buy/sell in one tap      | [🟢 Quick Buy & Sell](/traders/quick-buy-sell.md) | Preset amount, one-tap execute                    |

## Where coins trade

Novamp does not run its own order book. Coins trade on real, public liquidity:

* **Novamp EVM tokens** trade on a real **Uniswap** pool (`🟢 Robinhood Chain`, `🔵 Base`, `⚪ Ethereum`) or **PancakeSwap** pool (`🟡 BNB Chain`) from block 0. Zero-fee tokens live on **v3**; tax (fee-on-transfer) tokens live on **v2**. Prices are quoted in the native asset — ETH or BNB.
* **Novamp Solana tokens** trade on **Pump.fun / PumpSwap**, quoted in SOL.
* **Any other token** can still be traded through [Swap](/traders/swap.md), which routes through integrated third-party providers (Uniswap, 0x, and Jupiter on Solana).

## What you pay

{% hint style="warning" %}
Three separate things can apply to a single trade. Always read the token page and the swap review before confirming.
{% endhint %}

| Cost                        | When                          | Amount                                                                                                  |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Novamp swap fee**         | Trading a Novamp EVM token    | Flat **1%** (50% creator / 50% protocol)                                                                |
| **Solana pool fee**         | Trading a Novamp Solana token | **0.3%** (60/40)                                                                                        |
| **Creator tax**             | Tax tokens only               | 0–10%, shown on the token page                                                                          |
| **Price impact + slippage** | Every AMM trade               | Depends on size vs. liquidity — see [📉 Slippage & Price Impact](/traders/slippage-and-price-impact.md) |
| **Network gas**             | Every transaction             | Paid in the chain's native asset — see [⛽ Gas & Network Fees](/traders/gas-and-fees.md)                 |

1. **Find** a coin in [Discover](/traders/discover.md), the Trenches feed, or via search.
2. **Review** it on its [token detail page](/traders/token-detail.md) — chart, liquidity, taxes, holders.
3. **Trade** it with [Quick Buy/Sell](/traders/quick-buy-sell.md) or the full [Swap](/traders/swap.md) panel.
4. **Sign** the transaction in your wallet.
5. **Track** the result in your [Portfolio](/portfolio-and-analytics/portfolio.md) and [PnL tracker](/portfolio-and-analytics/pnl.md).

## Before your first trade

* [Connect your wallet](/getting-started/connect-wallet.md).
* [Switch to the right network](/getting-started/switch-networks.md) (or let the trade panel switch it for you).
* Keep some native gas (ETH / BNB / SOL) for fees.
* Read [⚠️ Trading Risks](/traders/trading-risks.md) — new coins are high-risk and scams exist.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novamp.io/traders/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
