# Getting Started

## 1. Open STONKFUNBOT

Use the website, or a supported social surface ([X](/using-stonkfunbot/x.md) or [Farcaster](/using-stonkfunbot/farcaster.md)) if you already have an account linked there.

## 2. Sign in

On the website, sign in with Google or X. On a social surface, you're already speaking from the account you'll act as — you just need to link it once from your dashboard (see [Accounts & Wallets](/using-stonkfunbot/accounts-and-wallets.md)).

## 3. Get your wallet

The moment your account exists, it has its own Solana wallet. You don't create or import anything to get started.

## 4. Fund it

Send SOL to your wallet when an action needs it. STONKFUNBOT tells you the real, live-quoted number before anything is spent — see [Funding](/using-stonkfunbot/funding.md).

## 5. Ask naturally

Describe a launch or a trade in plain language, for example:

> launch GameStop paired with GMEX

## 6. Review the proposal

You'll see the exact terms and cost before anything is signed.

## 7. Confirm explicitly

Accept that specific proposal. This is the only thing that authorizes execution — see [Confirm](/transaction-flow/confirm.md).

## 8. Get the verified result

You're told what happened only once the chain has actually confirmed it.

***

A conversation does not spend funds by itself. Describing a launch or a trade only produces a proposal — spending requires your separate, explicit confirmation of that proposal.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.stonkfun.bot/welcome/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.
