First Transaction

Congratulations on connecting your wallet! Now let's walk through your first DeTasker transaction step-by-step. This comprehensive guide will ensure you understand every aspect of the process and feel confident using the platform.

🎯 Choosing Your First Transaction

For your first transaction, we recommend starting with one of these simple, low-risk operations:

Option 1: Basic Token Swap (Easiest)

"Swap 5 USDC for SOL"

Why this is perfect for beginners:

  • Low financial risk with small amount

  • Instant execution and clear results

  • Demonstrates core DeTasker functionality

"Show me my current balance"

Benefits:

  • No financial transaction involved

  • Demonstrates AI understanding of your portfolio

  • Shows DeTasker's cross-protocol visibility

  • Builds confidence before real transactions

Option 3: Price Query (Information Only)

"What's the current price of SOL in USDC?"

Learning Value:

  • Shows real-time data access

  • Demonstrates AI's market knowledge

  • No wallet interaction required

  • Good for understanding command structure
