BLITZ

Open BLITZ, connect your wallet, and trade like you do on a pro exchange—without leaving chain. Start by switching your wallet to the Blast layer-2 network and funding the account you’ll trade from. Bridge assets if needed, approve token spends, and pick a market from the list. The interface centers on a live depth view, recent trades, and an order ticket so you can act fast. Pin your favorite pairs, set your default size and tick display, and confirm gas settings so orders post and cancel quickly.

For spot, choose between limit and market execution based on urgency. When placing a limit order, use the depth to find liquidity and position your price. Size the trade, preview fees and slippage, and submit; partial fills will settle as liquidity becomes available. Need to chase a move? Convert to market and execute immediately. Manage risk by splitting entries, placing laddered orders, or keeping a resting bid/ask near key levels. After submission, monitor open orders, edit price and size inline, or cancel with one tap. Track fills and average entry in your positions panel and use third-party alerts or wallet notifications to keep tabs on price.

For perpetuals, pick the contract, set margin, and choose a leverage level that fits your risk. If the platform offers cross or isolated margin, select the mode that matches your strategy: cross to use shared collateral, isolated to ring‑fence a single position. Enter with a limit to control price, or use market to catch momentum. Add a protective stop and a target if conditional orders are supported; otherwise, stage them as separate tickets. Watch funding intervals and the impact on running PnL. Manage exposure by reducing size in steps, flipping direction with a single reverse trade, or closing all at once. Keep an eye on margin health and top up or trim to stay clear of liquidation.

Power users can run maker strategies by resting orders at key levels and refreshing them as the book evolves. Day traders can scalp spreads during volatile windows, while swing traders can schedule entries around liquidity pockets and manage positions with bracketed exits. If you automate, script on-chain order placement and cancellation using common web3 tooling, then poll events to reconcile fills. Hedgers can offset token exposure from other Blast apps with short perps or balance inventory with spot. Export trade activity from your wallet history or a block explorer for journaling and tax, and refine your process by reviewing win rate, average hold time, and slippage after each session.
