# Getting started

Getting onto pumphood takes about thirty seconds. You don't need to already own crypto, install an extension, or understand wallets — although you can bring your own if you do.

## 1. Connect

Tap **Log in** in the top-right corner. You have three ways in:

<table><thead><tr><th width="180">Method</th><th>What happens</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>𝕏 (Twitter)</strong></td><td>Sign in with your X account. A secure wallet is created for you automatically — no seed phrase to write down.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Email</strong></td><td>Enter an email, confirm the code, and a wallet is created for you.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Wallet</strong></td><td>Connect an existing wallet — MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, and more.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
Logging in with **X or email** creates an **embedded wallet** managed for you by [Privy](https://privy.io). It's fully yours — you can export the private key at any time from your account menu and move it to any wallet you like.
{% endhint %}

## 2. Add ETH for gas

pumphood runs on **Robinhood Chain**, an Ethereum Layer-2 where **ETH is the gas token**. Every action — launching, buying, selling, claiming — costs a tiny amount of ETH for gas (usually a fraction of a cent).

To do anything on-chain, send a little ETH to your pumphood wallet address on **Robinhood Chain**. You can copy your address from the account menu.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure ETH is bridged to **Robinhood Chain** specifically — ETH on Ethereum mainnet or another network won't show up here.
{% endhint %}

## 3. You're in

That's it. From here you can:

* [**Launch a token**](/using-pumphood/launch-a-token.md) — tap *Launch a token* and fill in the details.
* **Trade** — open any token and buy or sell straight from the page.
* **Track your rewards** — head to your **profile** to see fees and vault unlocks you can claim.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pumphood.fun/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
