# Wallet Deposit and Withdraw

*As a decentralized and self-custodial DEX, NFEX is extremely safe to use, and users’ funds are locked into smart contracts rather than held by a centralized exchange. The traders themselves are the only ones with access to their assets. Please keep your assets safe!*

Before you start trading perpetual contracts at NFEX, you need to deposit ETH into your NFEX perpetual account. You are able to withdraw your assets from your NFEX perpetual account at any time.

You'll need to make some preparations before you can deposit and withdraw funds.

{% hint style="info" %}

## Preparation 

1. An Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask. Don't have one? Follow [**this guideline**](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015489531-Getting-started-with-MetaMask).
2. Make sure your wallet is connected to the Ethereum Network.
3. Please keep  in mind that each deposit and withdrawal transaction between your available wallet and NFEX account can cost you certain gas fee. But after your deposits, you don't need to pay gas fees for trading pereptual contracts at NFEX once the on-chain deposits are done.
4. Make sure to prepare enough ETH in your wallet for gas fees.
