   In the official CordEx Discord server, navigate to the **#trade-in-discord** channel.
2. **Click “Launch CordEx from your DM’s”**\
   In this channel you’ll see the official CordEx bot/app with a button labeled:\
   **Launch CordEx from your DM’s**

Click the button to continue.

3. **Open CordEx in Your DMs**\
   CordEx will send you a direct message.\
   Open the DM and launch the CordEx activity from there to start trading.

The DM you receive after pressing the button is the only legitimate launch point.
