# Read the token panel

> Find tokens and understand market data, warnings, positions, and shortcuts.

Paste a token contract address to open its trading panel. You can also tap a ticker in Positions or paste a supported token link.

## Find the right token

Cove accepts contract addresses, chain-suffixed addresses, token/pool links from services such as DexScreener, Defined, GMGN, Birdeye, Photon, and GeckoTerminal, and certain X search links. A short symbol or name can resolve to a matching token; always check the address.

If an address exists on several chains, Cove can show a picker. Choose the network you intended. A failed link lookup can often be resolved by pasting the token's contract address directly.

**Arc is supported.** Paste the Arc token's contract address, select **Arc** if asked, and check the chain label on the panel. See [Supported chains](/essentials/supported-chains) for the full trading-network list.

## Native tokens

To open the buying flow for a native token, **type and send its ticker in the Cove chat with a dollar sign**: `$SOL`, `$ETH`, or `$BNB`.

1. Send the ticker, including the **\$** prefix.
2. If Cove offers a choice between a wrapped-token panel and a native-token purchase, choose **Buy native** for the native token. For example, after `$ETH`, tap **Buy native ETH** rather than **Open WETH panel on Base**.
3. Select the network when prompted.
4. In the buying panel, choose the amount and review any quote or confirmation before proceeding.

Ordinary native-token panels do not offer the same limit-order and alert controls as token panels. If Cove asks for a wrapped-token address, use the wrapped token's verified contract address.

Native/wrapped-native PnL can show **Unavailable**. A full native sell may leave a network reserve; for example, Monad can retain about 10 MON. Native OKB buying is not offered on X Layer.
