How ratebidclose works

Getting started

1. Step 1Connect a walletPress Connect wallet in the top bar and pick Phantom, Solflare, Backpack or another Solana wallet.
2. Step 2Sign inYour wallet shows a message that starts "Sign in to ratebidclose.com". Signing it proves the wallet is yours. It is free, sends no transaction and gives ratebidclose no access to your funds.
3. Step 3Get your nameEvery account gets a name like SwiftOtter42 for the leaderboards. Change it any time in Settings → Profile.
4. Step 4Fund a trading walletOpen Wallets, copy your trading wallet's address and send it SOL. Then trade from the Trenches or any coin's page.

The Trenches

The live launch board, in three columns: New Pairs (coins just created), Final Stretch (coins close to filling their bonding curve) and Migrated (coins that graduated to a DEX pool in the last 24 hours).

• Each card shows market cap (MC), 24 h volume (V), fees the coin's pools earned (F), liquidity (L), transactions (TX) and the audit figures: top-10 holders, dev holdings, snipers, bundlers and insiders.
• Click a card to open the coin. The ⚡ button opens it with your quick-buy amount ready; turn on Instant to buy in one click (only from a trading wallet).
• Hover a coin's picture to see it large. Use the eye button on the picture's corner to hide a coin; the column header lets you show hidden coins again.
• Each column has its own search and filters. A column pauses while your mouse is over it, so cards do not jump while you read.

Trading a coin

A coin's page has the chart, the trade card and the audit. Pick Buy or Sell, choose an amount, and press the button. From a trading wallet the trade signs instantly; from a wallet you connected, your wallet asks you to approve it.

• Presets: three saved sets of slippage, priority fee and bribe, separately for buys and sells. Edit them with the sliders button on the trade card.
• Slippage is the most you will accept the price moving before the trade is abandoned. Priority fee bids for position inside a block. A bribe pays the block builder and sends the trade through Ultra.
• Call it: put your name on a coin from its header (see Leaderboards & callouts).

Trading wallets

A trading wallet is a wallet ratebidclose creates and holds the key for, so a trade fills the moment you click instead of waiting for a popup. That is custody, said plainly: ratebidclose can move what is in it. Fund it with what you are trading and no more.

• You can hold up to 5 trading wallets, each with its own address and balance. Make more from Wallets → New.
• The active wallet is the one trades go through. Pick it in the wallet switcher or with Trade from this wallet.
• Withdraw any time, to a wallet you have connected and signed with (or to another of your trading wallets).
• Export a wallet's private key to use it in Phantom or anywhere else. It is shown once; anyone who has it can spend the wallet.
• Retire a wallet if its key may have leaked: ratebidclose never signs with it again. Withdraw first — after retiring you cannot withdraw or export from it here.

Send SOL only. Do not send USDC or any other token to a trading wallet: ratebidclose does not support them, will not show them, and cannot withdraw them for you. From an exchange, withdraw SOL and pick the Solana network.

Cashback

• Every swap pays a 1% fee. 0.50% of the trade comes back to you as cashback, so you pay 0.50% net. Same rate for every wallet, from your first trade — no ranks, no points.
• Cashback is paid in SOL and recorded per fill as each trade settles. See it on the Rewards page, in SOL or USD.
• Claim it to any wallet you have connected once it reaches 0.02 SOL. The minimum keeps a payout worth more than the network fee it costs.

Leaderboards & callouts

The front page has two boards, each for the last 24 hours, 7 days or all time. They show display names, never wallet addresses.

• Leaderboard: ranked by trading volume, with the cashback each trader earned.
• Callout leaderboard: press Call it on a coin's page to put your name on it. The price is recorded by the server at that moment, so a call cannot be backdated. Each trader is ranked by their best call — the coin's price now over its price when called (2.5x means up 150%).
• One call per coin, up to 10 calls a day.

Your display name

Your public name on the boards. You get one like SwiftOtter42 when you sign up; change it in Settings → Profile. Names are 3–20 characters of letters, numbers and underscores, must include a letter, and must be unique. Names that read as the platform speaking (starting with admin, official, support, rounded and similar) are reserved.

Rewards Panel

The Rewards Panel unlocks when 500 wallets are trading — a wallet counts when it has made a real trade in the last 30 days. The front page shows live progress. Tiers, challenges and rewards arrive when it unlocks; nothing is earned toward it yet.

Solana's network fee, any priority fee and any bribe you set are paid on top, to the network, not to ratebidclose. The trade-size limit protects everyone during launch and will be raised.

Safety

• ratebidclose will never ask for your seed phrase or private key. Signing in is a message, never a transaction.
• Keep only what you are trading in a trading wallet. Your main funds belong in a wallet you control.
• New launches are extremely risky and many go to zero. The audit figures help, but nothing here is financial advice.
