# Getting Started

#### Wallet Connection and Access

Access to PlasmaPerps is instant, requiring no sign-up or lengthy KYC process.

1. Access the DApp: Navigate to the PlasmaPerps trading interface.
2. Connect: Click the "Connect Wallet" button and select your desired Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet).
3. Approve: Authorize the connection.

#### Collateral and Deposits

PlasmaPerps standardizes trading to maximize efficiency and minimize complexity.

* Unified Collateral: All positions are collateralized in USDT (Tether), utilizing Plasma Chain's native stablecoin rail. This eliminates the need for multiple collateral types and simplifies margin management across different markets.
* Zero Minimum Deposit: There is no minimum deposit requirement. You can start trading with any amount you are comfortable risking.
* Instant Deposits/Withdrawals: Funds transfer quickly due to the Plasma Chain's low-latency design.

Cross-Chain Support

While the platform is natively built on the Plasma Chain for optimal performance, we support deposits from several major layer-1 and layer-2 networks.

* You can directly deposit funds from Solana, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), or Base.
* Our integrated bridging abstraction layer automatically handles the complexity of transferring assets to the Plasma Chain, making the process seamless for the user.

## 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.plasmaperps.com/what-is-plasmaperps/getting-started.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.
