Getting started

What the game is, what you need and how to set up your hero in a minute.

Desktop Trade Heroes is a free game for Windows. A pixel hero walks on your taskbar while you trade on Solana the way you always do. Your trades show up over your hero, every token is a world full of other holders, and every world has a boss that your buys hit.

What you need

  • A computer with Windows 10 or 11.
  • The Solana wallet you trade with. Any wallet that can sign a message works.
  • Nothing to pay. The game is free; item boxes are an optional extra.

Set up in a minute

  1. Install the game from the download page, which shows every step. It runs in the background and updates itself.
  2. Prove your wallet. The setup window opens on the first start. A page on dth.family opens in your browser, where your wallet signs one short message. That proves the address is yours. It is not a transaction and costs nothing. The page then shows an "Open Desktop Trade Heroes" button that finishes the link, and a six-character code to type in the game if the button does not open it.
  3. Dress your hero. Every hero starts in underwear with a free starter weapon. Gear comes from world bosses and item boxes.
  4. Join a world. Paste a token you hold or trade, or pick one of the busy worlds. Now trade as usual and watch your hero.
