How it works
One place for the whole Solana loop: find a token, check whether it is worth the risk, trade it, then turn that trade into a rule that watches for you. Instead of eight tabs, you ask once.
A saved idea that watches the market for you: a trigger, the conditions that must all hold, and what happens when they land. Two modes: alert-only, which tells you so you can place the buy, and hands-off, which buys inside a spending limit you set. Both count against the same rule limit. Free arms 10 rules at once, Basic 30, Plus 100, Power 200.
Not as a resting order. Opal places market swaps only. The closest equivalent is a rule with a price condition: it watches the tokens in our market feed and acts when your level trips.
DexScreener, Jupiter and GeckoTerminal, asked in that order so a gap in one is filled by the next. Trades route through Jupiter. If a source’s own pools disagree about a price beyond a sane margin, it abstains and we ask the next one. If none of them can price a token, we show you nothing rather than a number we cannot stand behind.
Cost
A flat 0.5% of trade value, on every trade and every plan. It is collected as part of the swap, and the exact amount in USD is on the quote before you sign. No performance fees, no minimum.
Research is free on every plan. Paid plans raise what you can automate: rules armed at once (10 on Free up to 200 on Power), wallets tracked (5 up to 100), workbench boards (3 up to 100), and your monthly Ask Opal allowance. Billed monthly, cancel any time.
Credits meter Ask Opal, the chat. Research, charts, portfolio and rules never spend them. A typical reply costs about one credit. You get 100 a month on Free, up to 5,000 on Power, and unused credits roll over to a ceiling of 2x your monthly allowance.
Getting started
No. Sign in with Google and you can research any token, ask questions and view portfolios right away. Linking a Solana wallet takes one signature proving you own it, and you only need it to trade. More than one wallet is fine.
Solana only, for now. If you use a multi-chain wallet like Phantom, its total will read higher than ours. Those balances are real, just on networks we do not cover yet.
Safety and control
No. Your keys stay yours and Opal never has your seed. Automated rules trade only within a spending limit you set: a capped, revocable, buy-only allowance. If the key Opal trades with were ever compromised, the most it could cost you is that limit, so set it to what you would put behind one rule.
No. Stop-loss and take-profit are alerts today: Opal notifies you when your level trips, and you place the sell. Hands-off exits are in development, and we will say so plainly when they ship.
Only if you tell it to. A rule set to hands-off buys inside a spending limit you set: buys only, capped, revocable at any time, and running for a length you choose between one day and 30 days. Manual trades are always signed by your own wallet, and any rule can stay on alert-only so you place the trade yourself.
Bounded by the spending limit you set. It covers buys only and can be revoked at any time, so your exposure is that number rather than your balance. You also pick an end date, up to 30 days. After that Opal stops trading against it, though revoking is what ends it on-chain for good, so it is worth doing once a rule is finished with.
