This is my first official day in this amazing community I came from Corey’s TikTok like on Sunday and took the opportunity for the free 7 day trial good to meet you all talk soon

Yeah, After 2 hours on computer, I created my first Liquidity Pool on Shadow Exchange.😅 I need more coffee.

Set up two new pools with the live guidance of Dane today 🥇

Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing great. I just wanted to share my journey so far. I joined the community on Saturday (25/07/2026) after coming across one of Defi Papi's live sessions. I was welcomed by Dane, who guided me to the Classroom tab, and I immediately started watching the videos. Experience-wise, I've dabbled in a little trading before, but that's about it, so DeFi is completely new to me. I followed the videos closely, even rewatching some of them a couple of times if I didn't fully understand the concepts. I also marked each completed video with a green tick to keep track of my progress. I started on my phone, but I quickly realized that using a laptop or desktop makes the learning experience so much better. I created my DeFi wallet (the OKX Wallet), completed the form, and submitted my wallet address to receive the free crypto. I also visited the Calendar tab and added each upcoming live session to my Google Calendar week by week so I wouldn't miss any of them. By the way, the Cash Flow Pro app is amazing! If you haven't downloaded it yet, what are you waiting for? It answered so many of the questions I had while working through everything. I even pinned it to my taskbar because I use it often. Now, for this next part, your process may be a little different, but this is what worked for me. So I already owned some USDT but it wasn't on the Sonic network. The Cash Flow Pro app guided me how to convert that USDT to Sonic (S), send the Sonic to the Defi wallet and then swap it for the other tokens needed on Shadow.so (there's a video in the Classroom where Dane shows how to swap). One tip though is make sure you always leave yourself some S for gas fees. Thanks for that reminder Dane 😄. Do not swap all of your Sonic. On Tuesday (28/07/2026), I created my first two liquidity pools! Woohoo! I started really small because my main goal was simply to understand the process by following the tutorial vids. My liquidity pools are now up and running. Yesterday, one of them went "Out of Range," and I'll admit I got a little worried for a moment then I recalled one Classroom vid where Dane mentioned that this can happen. Sure enough, today it's back in range.

slow, steady and patience. we will get through anything.
