Onboarding
On-Ramp/Off-Ramp
To use DeFi, you need supported assets in a self-custody wallet on the correct network. Availability, identity requirements, fees, and withdrawal support vary by provider and jurisdiction.
Before withdrawing or bridging, confirm that the sending service, receiving wallet, token, and destination network all match. Sending an asset through an unsupported network can result in permanent loss.
Choose a Wallet
Ramses uses an EVM-compatible self-custody wallet. The wallet controls your accounts and displays transaction requests, but it cannot recover a lost seed phrase or reverse a signed transaction.
Download wallet software only from its official source. Review its security model, supported networks, and recovery process before funding it.
Put It All Together
Each blockchain transaction requires its network's native gas token. The required token varies by deployment, so confirm the selected network and its gas requirements before withdrawing funds.
- Install and back up a compatible self-custody wallet.
- Select the network you intend to use on Ramses.
- Acquire the assets you plan to use plus enough of that network's native token for gas.
- Send a small test transaction before transferring a larger amount.
- Verify the wallet balance and network before opening Ramses.
Connect to Ramses
Open the Ramses app, select the intended network, and connect your wallet. Confirm the site domain, connected account, and network before approving or signing anything.
Protect Your Funds and Wallets
DeFi exposes users to scams ranging from social engineering to malicious contracts, so exercise extreme caution. Self-custody gives you control of your assets and makes you responsible for securing them.
- Never share your seed phrase with anyone or enter it into a website or unsolicited prompt. Follow only your wallet vendor's verified recovery procedure.
- Verify domains and contract addresses before connecting or signing.
- Read wallet prompts and reject unexpected approvals or transactions.
- Be vigilant about anything you install or download on a device that can access your wallet.
- Consider a hardware wallet and separate accounts for long-term holdings and day-to-day activity.
No checklist eliminates risk. Learn how approvals, signatures, recovery phrases, and network selection work before committing significant funds.
