**If you don’t have a token address or link**, tap **Token Lists** in the main menu.\
There, you’ll find:

✨ **Trending TON Tokens**\
✨ **Special Blum Token Lists**, such as **Bluming Tokens**

You can select any token from these lists to begin trading.

**After selecting a token**, you'll be taken to a detailed page with:

#### **Choose your order type:**

💰 **Manual Order**\
Buy the token immediately at the **current market price**

⏳ **Limit Order**\
Set a specific price you'd like to buy the token at in the future

***

#### **How to Make a Trade**

1. **Set Slippage Tolerance**\
   This defines the maximum price change you’re willing to accept.\
   For example, a **10% slippage** means your trade will go through as long as the token price doesn’t increase more than 10% during processing.\
   If the price moves beyond your set slippage, the trade will **fail automatically**.

2. **Enter TON Amount**\
