# Getting started

> Sign in, add money, buy your first stock.

Sign in, put money in the account, then buy your first stock.

Nothing else in the app works until there are dollars or stocks to use.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Email, Google, Apple, or a passkey. One screen, one field.

    Connect an existing wallet through a small link on the same screen if you already have one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deposit">
    Start with dollars. Pick Cash, Crypto, or Stocks you already hold.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Cash">
        Card, bank transfer, or mobile money where it is offered.

        | Method        | Time     |
        | ------------- | -------- |
        | Card          | Instant  |
        | Bank transfer | 1–2 days |
        | Mobile money  | Minutes  |

        Amount, method, done. Arrives as dollars in Cash.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Crypto">
        An address and a QR, chain shown. Accepted: USDG, USDC, USDT, ETH.

        Anything accepted is converted to dollars on arrival. They land in Cash. They do not earn until you move them to Earning.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Stocks">
        Move stocks from another wallet, or send them to your Stockline address on Robinhood Chain.

        Your stocks stay yours. Moving them here lets you borrow against them.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buy your first stock">
    Search by name or ticker. Twelve names at launch.

    Buy and sell in dollars. Amount or quantity, one review, one tap.

    From \$1. US stocks you know.
  </Step>
</Steps>

On testnet, skip the on-ramp. Get free test money instead. Open `/faucet` in the app. A TESTNET chip sits next to the market clock. None of it is real.

The first screen after sign-up is deposit because nothing else works without money in the account. Home then shows three rows: Stocks, Dollars, and a Loan if one exists. One primary action per state. No stocks: Buy your first stock. Stocks and no loan: Borrow against your stocks. Loan open: Repay.

Read [What you own](/ecosystem/stock-tokens) before the first fill. The same sentence appears in the app before first buy, on every receipt, and on every stock page.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Nothing arrived after I sent crypto">
    Wait under two minutes. Check you sent an accepted asset on Robinhood Chain. Then tap I have sent it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I do not have a card or bank">
    Use Crypto, or on testnet use the faucet. Cash rails vary by corridor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I already hold stocks in another wallet">
    Move stocks from another wallet. That wallet stays yours and is never your Stockline account.
