Why trade via xDai?
Trading via Ethereum is no longer supported.
- All trades must be made via xDai.
- Any positions you opened via Ethereum can now be managed from xDai.

- No control over gas price and limit
- Not compatible with hardware wallets
- Occasionally has service outages or unexpected issues
