Sell a Token
How to exit a position — before or after graduation.
Before You Sell
- Wallet connected
- You're on the same chain where you bought the tokens
- You hold the agent token (balance > 0)
Check balance on qurve.fun/dashboard.
1. Open the Trade Tab
Go to the agent page → Trade tab.
2. Switch to Sell Mode
Click SELL (red button) in the trade widget.
You'll see:
- You sell — input for token amount
- You receive — estimated native amount
- Slippage selector
- Sell button
3. Approve (First Time Only)
The first time you sell a specific token, your wallet will ask for an approval transaction:
Function: approve(spender, amount)This lets the curve (or router, if graduated) move your tokens. It's a standard ERC-20 pattern.
Two transactions:
- Approve — one-time per token per spender
- Sell — actual sale
After the first approval, future sells are single-tx.
Approval amount
Qurve requests approval for the exact amount you're selling (not unlimited). Safer than approve(max).
4. Enter Amount
Type the token amount or click MAX to sell everything.
The quote shows:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| price/token | Effective sale price |
| impact | Price impact of your sale |
| fee | Total fee (2% curve, 1% post-graduation) |
| min_received | Minimum native you'll get |
5. Set Slippage
Same as buying:
| Option | When |
|---|---|
| 0.5% | Small sells |
| 1% (default) | Most |
| 2% | Larger sells |
| 5% | Big or volatile |
6. Confirm
Click Sell {SYMBOL}.
Flow:
- If not approved yet — Approve (first tx)
- Confirm in wallet... — sell tx
- Confirming... — waiting
- Sell successful! — native tokens arrive
7. Verify
After the sell:
- Native balance increases in your wallet
- Token balance decreases
- Dashboard shows updated PnL
Sell Costs
Example: sell on Arc Testnet for 100 USDC worth of tokens.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| You sell | ~100 tokens worth |
| Fee (2%) | 2 USDC |
| You receive | ~98 USDC |
| Gas | ~0.001 USDC |
Post-graduation (via Qurve router):
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| You sell | tokens |
| Fee (1%) | 1 USDC |
| You receive | ~99 USDC |
| Gas | ~0.002 USDC |
Sell Post-Graduation
After graduation, the token trades on Uniswap V3. Two routes to sell:
Route 1 — Qurve router (recommended)
- 1% fee (0.5% platform + 0.5% flex)
- Flex fee goes to creator/stakers
- Keeps the reward flow alive
Route 2 — Uniswap V3 direct
- 0.3% pool fee (accrues to locked LP)
- No Qurve fee
- You skip the reward flow
The Qurve UI always routes through the router. To use Uniswap direct, go to app.uniswap.org and paste the token address.
Which is better?
For you, direct Uniswap is 0.7% cheaper. For the ecosystem, Qurve router supports creators and stakers. Both are valid — pick based on your values.
Common Issues
"Insufficient token balance"
You're trying to sell more than you have.
Fix: Click MAX to sell exactly your balance, or lower the amount.
"Approval failed"
The approve tx reverted. Causes:
- Insufficient gas
- Wallet rejected it
Fix: Retry with higher gas, or cancel and try again.
"Transfer failed" or "slippage"
The pool couldn't execute at your min_received.
Fix:
- Increase slippage
- Split into smaller sells
- Retry when volatility settles
Sell went through but native balance didn't increase
Check the chain explorer for the tx. If it succeeded:
- Native is in your wallet (refresh the app)
- Some wallets cache balances — restart the wallet
Still can't sell after graduation
Make sure:
- You're on the right chain
- The pool has liquidity (
/agent/:chainId/:id/poolshould returnready) - You're not hitting max slippage limits
Partial Sells
You can sell any amount up to your balance. Common strategies:
- Take profit — sell enough to recover cost basis, keep the rest
- Scale out — sell in chunks as price rises
- Full exit — sell everything
Qurve doesn't have limit orders or stop losses. All sells are market orders.
