# Getting Started

Flipper is a non-custodial trading platform that provides access to Spot Trading, Perpetual Futures (Perps), and DeForex through a single interface.

The current version of Flipper is available on Solana. Support for EVM-compatible networks is planned for future releases.

Instead of switching between multiple trading platforms, users can access supported markets, configure their trades, and manage positions from one place.

For Perpetual Futures, Flipper connects to supported liquidity venues behind the scenes. Users simply:

* Select a trading pair
* Choose a Long or Short position
* Enter the position size
* Review the estimated execution details
* Confirm the transaction in their wallet

Before an order is submitted, Flipper evaluates the available execution routes and presents key information such as the expected execution price, fees, slippage, and other transaction details. Users always review and approve the transaction before it is executed.
