# User Guide

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.&#x20;

In order to do this we will discuss:&#x20;

1. Setting up xDAI to interact with APEX
2. Acquiring xDai to pay for transaction fees
3. Creating a smart wallet
4. Funding your smart wallet with USDC&#x20;
5. Creating orders
