## What is Online Now?

The Online Now page shows collectors who are currently active on SwapPulse. Presence is tracked in real time via a live presence system. Use it to find someone to trade with, chat with, or join a voice space.

## What you can do

* **See active collectors:** Browse a list of online collectors with their avatars and handles.
* **Start a chat:** Click Message to open a direct message thread with an online collector.
* **Start a trade:** Click Trade to open a trade thread directly.
* **Join a space:** If a collector is hosting a live voice space, you can join from their card.

## Privacy

Your presence is only visible when you are actively using SwapPulse. You can disable presence tracking in Settings if you prefer to browse privately. When disabled, you will not appear in the Online Now list.
