# Trading via the Website

Buying and selling on [stonk.market](https://www.stonk.market/) is quick. Open any token from the homepage or search to reach its page, where the chart sits next to the trade panel.

![Token page](https://3748939249-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBZJ2TwLdgt8FzuJ9L3w1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5d02cbda2c86db9722adfc8540ee21c3d42cdb00%2Ftoken-page.png?alt=media)

Each token trades in its **backing asset** — the currency it was launched with. In this example that's **USDC**, so amounts are entered and paid in USDC (an ETH-backed token would trade in ETH).

## Placing a trade

![Trade panel](https://3748939249-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBZJ2TwLdgt8FzuJ9L3w1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0f543d76741ee3e4e3abf5e2f47c8c5bb596ef86%2Ftrading.png?alt=media)

1. Toggle **Buy** or **Sell**.
2. Enter an amount, or use the quick-buy presets ($25 / $50 / $100 / Custom).
3. Click **Execute Buy** (or **Sell**) and confirm.

Use the gear icon to adjust slippage. Your balance and the paying asset are shown above the amount field.

## Gas-free trading

Trades placed on stonk.market are **completely gas-free**. The network fee is sponsored by a Base paymaster, so your total is just the amount you're trading — nothing extra for gas.

![Gasless confirmation — network fee paid by Stonk Market](https://3748939249-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBZJ2TwLdgt8FzuJ9L3w1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8e7ef819481330d9ef4816f796e83deeac307a90%2Fgasless.png?alt=media)

> This only applies to the website. If you interact with the contracts directly (outside stonk.market), you pay normal Base network gas.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://stonkmarket.gitbook.io/docs/guides/trading-ui.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.
