## The core loop

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Go to [app.kash.bot](https://app.kash.bot) and sign in with **X (Twitter), Google, email, or an external wallet** (via Privy). An embedded wallet and ERC-4337 smart account on Base are created for you automatically — no seed phrase needed. Details in [Creating an Account](/getting-started/guides/creating-an-account).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deposit USDC">
    Fund your account with a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a direct crypto transfer. Everything on Kash trades in USDC on Base. See [Depositing](/getting-started/guides/depositing).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find a market">
    Browse **Trending**, **For You**, and **Recurring** tabs, filter by category, search by keyword, or explore [threads](/getting-started/features/threads) and the [World Cup hub](/getting-started/features/world-cup). More in [Finding Opportunities](/getting-started/guides/finding-opportunities).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buy an outcome">
    On a market page, pick the outcome you believe in, enter an amount, review the quote (price, estimated payout, 1% fee), and confirm. The trade executes gas-free from your smart account. See [Predicting](/getting-started/guides/predicting).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track your positions">
    Your [Portfolio](/getting-started/guides/winning) shows open positions with live P\&L, your trade history, and your balance. You can sell out of a position any time while the market is open (1% protocol + 1% AMM fee on sells).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Claim winnings when the market resolves">
    When a market resolves, winning positions become claimable — hit **Claim Winnings** in your Portfolio. If a market is cancelled instead, a **Claim Refund** option appears. Details in [Winning](/getting-started/guides/winning).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Optional: trade from tweets

If you enable the trading bot in **Settings → Trading bot**, you can also place trades on X by tweeting at **Kash's dedicated trading account** with a market link and your position (for example, an amount and the outcome you're backing) — find the current handle on the [@kash\_bot](https://x.com/kash_bot) profile. The bot executes the trade from your Kash account and replies with a confirmation.

<Note>
  Tweet-trading is opt-in and covers placing trades only — deposits, withdrawals, claims, and everything else happen in the webapp.
