A practical walkthrough of the home page, Trending feed, topic details, token workspace, and cross-chain flow.
The updated Alph.ai connects market discovery to the trading screen. This walkthrough follows one common path: notice a narrative, check the onchain response, verify the token, then decide whether to trade. The screenshots show the live interface; prices and rankings will move.
1 Read the market before you pick a token
Open alph.ai. The home page gives you a quick read on 24-hour volume, active wallets, the hottest chain, trending assets, fresh launches, and prediction-market entry points. You can browse without connecting a wallet. When a token or topic catches your eye, select Trending or Start Trading.

2 Follow the signal into Trending
The Trending page opens on All Chains and lets you narrow the view to a supported network. At the top, X Hotspot, the 6-hour volume surge, and rising-token highlights show different reasons an asset is getting attention. Below them, use the X topics, volume ranking, and rising-token list to dig in. A ranking tells you what is active; it is not a buy call.

3 Check the receipts behind a topic
Open a topic title. Read the social metrics, then look at traded tokens and net inflows under onchain confirmation. Scroll to the original X posts and associated tokens to see where the discussion came from. One narrative can map to several tokens across chains. Before moving on, check the network and contract address rather than relying on the ticker alone.

4 Verify the token, then set up your trade
Select the token you mean to inspect. In the trading workspace, Discover and search sit on the left, the chart stays in the center, and order controls sit on the right. Review the chain, contract, liquidity, holders, recent activity, and available risk indicators. When ready, connect a wallet, choose Buy or Sell, select Market or Limit, and set the amount and any applicable order preferences. Check the live quote, network costs, and on-screen prompts before submitting.

5 Move funds across chains when needed
Open Cross-chain Swap from the Trade menu. Pick the source and destination networks and wallets, then choose the asset and amount to send. Once connected, review the quoted receive amount, estimated network fee, minimum received, and quote timer before confirming. Relay provides the underlying bridge. Alph.ai adds no cross-chain service fee, while third-party protocols, network conditions, and liquidity still affect execution.

Fee note: Alph.ai's 0.3% is its platform trading fee, not an all-in transaction cost. Gas, launchpad, and DEX liquidity fees may also apply. Always use the live quote shown at the point of execution.
