Install
Until the Chrome Web Store review is done, XenusTrade loads in developer mode. It works in Chrome 120 or later, Edge and Brave.
- Download xenustrade-v0.3.0.zip and unzip it.
- Open
chrome://extensions, oredge://extensionson Edge. - Turn on Developer mode.
- Click Load unpacked and choose the
xenustradefolder, the one that containsmanifest.json. - Pin XenusTrade to your toolbar.
Keep the folder where it is after installing. Your browser loads the extension from that location.
Verify the download
The SHA-256 checksum confirms the ZIP hasn't been modified. On Windows, open PowerShell in your downloads folder and run:
Get-FileHash .\xenustrade-v0.3.0.zip -Algorithm SHA256
On macOS or Linux:
shasum -a 256 xenustrade-v0.3.0.zip
The result must match exactly:
c8ee1028ca7a39ef04ac6f0f782b6de7b9532abb1e887228b8a308edfe2c60a0
If it doesn't, delete the file and download it again from this site.
Your first wallet
- Click the XenusTrade icon.
- Choose New wallet, or Import to bring an existing one with its private key or 12 or 24-word seed phrase.
- Set a password of at least 8 characters. It protects all your XenusTrade wallets.
- Open the Security tab and export the new wallet's private key. Keep it offline.
- Send a little HYPE to the wallet address to cover gas and your first buys.
Your password isn't stored anywhere and can't be recovered. Without it, only your exported keys give you access to your funds.
Elysium network
In Settings, the Network section tells XenusTrade where to send transactions.
| Network | RPC | Chain ID |
|---|---|---|
| Testnet | https://testnet-rpc.elysium.kinetiq.xyz | 99801 |
| Mainnet | Published by Kinetiq | Published by Kinetiq |
Testnet is filled in for you. For mainnet, get the RPC and chain ID from Kinetiq's official channels (their docs and verified X account), paste them, and click Test connection. "Connected to Elysium" means the RPC answers on the right network.
If the RPC answers on a different chain ID, XenusTrade won't sign anything. That protects you from the fake RPCs that circulate around every launch.
DEX
Trades go through the router of Elysium's main DEX (Uniswap V2 style). Enter its address in Settings, under DEX. The Wrapped HYPE field is optional: XenusTrade reads it from the router.
Until a router is set, the panel says so and the buy buttons stay inactive.
Sites
The panel appears on DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, DEXTools and Defined. To add another site, such as a terminal built for Elysium:
- Open Settings, then the Sites section.
- Type the domain, for example
trade.example.xyz, and click Add. - Accept your browser's access request, then refresh the site.
Buying and selling
Open a token page. The token or pair address needs to be in the URL. The panel shows the token, its market cap and its 24-hour change.
- Buy: click a preset amount, or type one and click Buy. Presets are set in Settings.
- Sell: switch to Sell, then click 25%, 50% or All. Your first sale of a token sends a one-time approval first.
- List pages: when a page shows many tokens, paste the contract address into the panel and press Enter.
Slippage (15% by default) and gas priority live in Settings. Lower slippage protects your price, but more trades fail on very volatile tokens.
Multiple wallets
In the Wallets tab, create or import more wallets and click one to make it active. Hover a wallet to rename or remove it. On a trading page, click the balance at the top of the panel to switch wallets without opening the popup.
Security
- Keys are encrypted with AES-GCM, using a key derived from your password with PBKDF2, and stored only in your browser.
- Once unlocked, keys stay in memory until you close the browser or click the lock.
- The script added to trading pages never sees your keys. It can only ask for a buy, a sell or a wallet switch.
- Exporting a key or removing a wallet only works from the popup, with your password.
- Keep a wallet just for trading, with only what you're ready to risk.
Troubleshooting
The panel doesn't show up
- Refresh the page with F5. Tabs opened before installing don't get the panel.
- In your extensions page, open XenusTrade's Details and make sure site access isn't set to "On click".
- If the site isn't in the default list, add it under Settings, Sites.
"Wallet locked"
Click the XenusTrade icon and enter your password. Wallets lock again every time the browser restarts.
"Not enough HYPE"
The active wallet needs to cover the amount plus gas. Send it a little more HYPE.
"No liquidity for this token on this DEX"
The token has no HYPE pool on the DEX you configured. Check the router address, or wait for liquidity to be added.
"This RPC is on chain ID …"
The RPC doesn't match the network you set. Copy the RPC and chain ID again from Kinetiq's official sources.
Updating
- Download the new ZIP from this site and verify its checksum.
- Replace the contents of your
xenustradefolder with the new files. - Click reload on XenusTrade in your extensions page, then refresh your trading tabs.
Your wallets and settings stay. Removing the extension deletes the wallets saved in it, so export your keys first.
