# How do I get started?

1. **Create your account** -- a secure wallet (account ID `0.0.XXXXX`) is set up for you automatically.
2. **Complete KYC** (identity verification) -- required before you can deposit or withdraw.
3. **Fund your account** -- deposit via bank transfer, cash, or wire; your balance is credited as USDb.
4. **Use the platform** -- swap currencies, send to other users, take prediction positions, or connect an AI agent to do it for you.
