Quickstart · 60 seconds to first trade

You need a browser and, if you want the counterparty to also be you, a second browser or a phone.

1. Open the terminal

Go to term.csclear.net. You see the DEAL workspace: recents (empty), deal pad (idle), contacts (a list of dealer codes online), and the keypad.

2. Sign in

Top-right, click the user icon. The sign-in wizard appears.

Create a new identity — generates a fresh Ed25519 keypair in your browser. You get a 64-hex recovery seed. Copy it. Anyone with that seed IS your identity.
Import recovery seed — paste an existing 64-hex seed to restore.
Steam / Google — coming soon. Third-party sign-in will provide identity only; keys still live on your device.

After creating, you'll be prompted to pick a 4-letter dealing code (like ALFA, BRVO) in settings. Others dial you by that code.

3. Dial a contact

Two ways:

Contacts panel (right) — click any row to dial that dealer.
Keypad (bottom-right) — type a 4-letter code, hit DIAL.

A signed CALL envelope travels over the wire to their desk. If they're online, they PICKUP.

4. Trade

Now both of you see the same Deal Pad. Suggested flow:

Collar Builder — pick a contract type (Spot, Collar, Digital, Spread, Straddle, Butterfly), fill terms, apply as active. Or load a template.
QUOTE — one side sends a two-way price (bid / offer).
MINE / YOURS — the other side hits or lifts.
DONE — dealer confirms the deal is agreed.
CONFIRM — both sides sign the final terms hash. Now it's a deal.

Every message is signed and chained — envelope N proves envelope N-1. The full transcript is verifiable by anyone with the conversation ID.

5. Share the trade

After the deal, the URL includes ?view=<conv>. Anyone with that URL can load a read-only pad and see the full transcript — signatures and all. Send it to your compliance desk, your counterparty, or a public auditor.
