APEX works on the xDAI chain, meaning that you will need to interact with the xDai network to create a smart wallet and orders. You will need xDai to create your smart wallet and xDai USDC to fund them. 

In order to do this we will discuss: 

1. Setting up xDAI to interact with APEX
2. Acquiring xDai to pay for transaction fees
3. Creating a smart wallet
