# Quick Start

## For Traders

1. Use the official website or Telegram bot.
2. Connect a compatible PEARL wallet and an EVM wallet on Arbitrum One.
3. Verify the escrow contract before signing any transaction.
4. Create or take an order.
5. Follow the lifecycle in My Swaps, including claim and refund timers.

Buyer USDC is locked in the OTC smart contract. Sellers claim USDC from the contract when eligible. If a flow does not complete, refund paths become available according to the contract rules.
