# Quickdraw (Nonce Accounts)

> Speed up transaction landing with nonce accounts

Quickdraw uses Solana nonce accounts to get your transactions through faster. The trading flow stays the same – Quickdraw speeds up what happens behind the scenes so your trades land on-chain quicker.

## What is Quickdraw?

On Solana, every transaction includes a recent blockhash that expires after roughly 60–90 seconds. If the network is congested and your transaction doesn't land in time, it fails.

Quickdraw bypasses this limitation by using **nonce accounts** – a Solana feature that replaces the expiring blockhash with a durable nonce value. This means your transactions don't race against a ticking clock, giving them a better chance of landing even during heavy network traffic.

Think of it like Axiom's Turbo Mode: same trading flow, faster execution under the hood.

## How It Works

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Nonce Accounts" icon="vault">
    A dedicated on-chain account stores a durable nonce value that replaces the standard blockhash. Transactions using this nonce stay valid until the nonce is advanced – no 60–90 second expiry window.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Faster Landing" icon="bolt">
    Combined with optimised transaction routing, Quickdraw gets your trades confirmed faster. The difference matters most when sniping launches or catching sudden dips.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

When you enable Quickdraw:

1. A small amount of SOL is deposited to create a nonce account
2. Your transactions use the durable nonce instead of a recent blockhash
3. Optimised routing sends transactions through faster infrastructure
4. After each trade, the nonce advances to its next state

<Note>
  Nonce accounts require a small SOL deposit (rent-exempt minimum). This SOL is recoverable when you disable Quickdraw.
</Note>

## Enabling Quickdraw

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Desktop">
    1. Go to **Settings** › **Trading**
    2. Find the **Quickdraw** section
    3. Toggle **Enable Quickdraw**
    4. Approve the nonce account creation transaction
    5. Wait for confirmation
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mobile">
    1. Open **Settings**
    2. Navigate to trading settings
    3. Enable Quickdraw
    4. Confirm the setup transaction
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Quickdraw Status

When Quickdraw is active, you'll see indicators near the trade buttons:

| Status         | Meaning                                          |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Ready**      | Nonce account active, faster execution available |
| **Refreshing** | Nonce is advancing after a recent trade          |
| **Disabled**   | Standard transaction flow                        |

## When to Use Quickdraw

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Best For" icon="bolt">
    Sniping new token launches, catching sudden dips, high-frequency trading – any situation where faster transaction landing gives you an edge.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Consider Disabling" icon="shield-halved">
    Low-urgency trades where speed doesn't matter, or if you want to minimise the SOL locked in nonce accounts.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Managing Your Nonce Account

### Checking Status

View your nonce account status in **Settings** › **Trading** › **Quickdraw**. You'll see the current balance and account health.

### Adding Funds

If your nonce account runs low:

1. Go to Quickdraw settings
2. Click **Add Funds**
3. Deposit additional SOL

### Disabling & Withdrawing

To disable Quickdraw and recover your SOL:

1. Go to **Settings** › **Trading** › **Quickdraw**
2. Toggle **Disable Quickdraw**
3. Confirm the withdrawal transaction
4. SOL returns to your main wallet

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Quickdraw not speeding things up?">
    Check that your nonce account has sufficient balance and that the status shows **Ready**. Extreme network congestion can still affect landing times even with nonce accounts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Transaction failed with Quickdraw enabled?">
    The nonce may have advanced between trades – the system will auto-recover. Check that you have enough SOL for the trade and that your slippage settings aren't too tight.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can't enable Quickdraw?">
    Ensure you have enough SOL for the nonce account deposit, check your wallet connection, and try refreshing the page.
  </Accordion>
