This document is a guideline in order to trade using Waves. We have a section for new users where we explain the account setup, followed by an explanation on how to trade, deposit or withdraw.
In short:
Depositing or withdrawing XBY / XFUEL by using our gateway: https://waves.xtrabytes.global

New users: Gateway account setup
Creating an account on our Waves Gateway platform is very simple.
- You visit https://waves.xtrabytes.global/ and choose Continue with web
- Click on Get Started and follow the steps to create your new account.
- Remember to write down your seed phrase, as you'll need it later!
Now you have a gateway account with an address for XBY and XFUEL. You can import the seed phrase from this account into the official Waves Exchange.
Import your seed phrase into the Waves Exchange
- Visit https://waves.exchange/
- Choose Get Started in the upper right corner
- After choosing your password, you'll be able to click on Import Accounts
- Choose Seed or Key on the next screen and input the seed phrase you got from creating your account on https://waves.xtrabytes.global/.
Congratulations, you've now successfully imported your gateway account onto the Waves Exchange. You can now use https://waves.exchange/ to trade XBY and XFUEL and https://waves.xtrabytes.global to deposit or withdraw your coins.
Waves gateway - information
To deposit or withdraw XBY or XFUEL coins from the Waves platform, you have to use our gateway. You can reach our gateway using this link: https://waves.xtrabytes.global/
You can import the seed of your Xtrabytes Waves account on the normal Waves platform at https://waves.exchange/ to trade XBY or XFUEL. You can also use 2 accounts side by side, and use our Waves platform purely as a gateway for depositing or withdrawing XBY or XFUEL from or to the Waves platform.
We are looking to make trading available again on our gateway so you only have to use 1 link but are depending on the development of Waves to continue this. Later on, this process will be much simpler using X-CHANGE.
