Quickstart
2 min read
From zero to your first trade in three steps.
🔒 Private Beta — Whitelist Required
Raven Market is currently in private beta. Access is opened in cohorts — you must be whitelisted before you can trade. To join the waitlist, visit app.raven.market and log in with Loop Wallet to apply. You will be notified when your cohort is granted access.Step 1 — Log In with Your Canton Wallet
Navigate to app.raven.market and click Login in the top-right corner. Raven Market is built on Canton Network and requires a Canton-native wallet. Supported wallets at launch:
- Loop Wallet — The primary consumer wallet for Canton Network. Recommended for most users.
- Console Wallet — For developers and power users on Canton.
🔷 Canton Network — Not EVM
Raven Market does not support MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, or any EVM-based wallet. Canton is a separate distributed ledger with its own wallet infrastructure. If you don't have a Loop Wallet yet, set one up before proceeding.Step 2 — Fund Your Account
Raven Market supports two settlement currencies — the one you need depends on the market you want to trade:
- ONE — Required for Bitcoin (CBTC) digital options markets. ONE is Alpend's settlement token on Canton.
- CC (Canton Coin) — Required for CC markets. Canton Network's native asset.
Your available balance is shown in the top navigation bar once logged in. Ensure you have enough for your stake plus transaction fees.
Step 3 — Place a Trade
- Select a market — Bitcoin (CBTC) or CC.
- Select a contract cadence — Daily or Weekly.
- Select an expiry date from the cadence selector.
- Review the digital options chain — available strikes with live payout odds.
- Click a CALL (price above strike at expiry) or PUT (price below strike at expiry) button.
- Enter your stake in the right-side order ticket and review the payout breakdown.
- Confirm the trade.
✅ That's it
Your position is live and visible in the Positions panel. At expiry, Chainlink delivers the settlement price and all outcomes resolve automatically. Winning positions are paid to your wallet with no further action needed.Example Trade — Bitcoin (CBTC)
Bitcoin is trading at $105,000. You believe it will close above $105,000 by end of day.
