Before you place your first trade on Kimia, you need three things: a Solana wallet, a bit of SOL for fees, and USDC as collateral.

​
1. A Solana wallet

Kimia uses Wallet Standard under the hood, so any compliant wallet works:
The app defaults to devnet for V1. Make sure you’ve picked devnet in your wallet’s network settings before connecting.

​
2. Some SOL for transaction fees

Every on-chain action costs a fraction of a cent in SOL. On devnet you can airdrop it: 
solana airdrop 2
Or in the app, use the airdrop button in the header once connected.

​
3. USDC as collateral

Kimia V1 uses USDC as the only collateral for perpetuals and as the deposit asset for the delta-vault. On devnet, USDC is a mock mint, see the program IDs page for the address. You can obtain devnet USDC through:

​
Optional: a keeper wallet

If you plan to run a keeper, use a second wallet funded with extra SOL. Keeper operations (funding updates, liquidations) are permissionless but cost gas.
