# Getting Started

> Create an account, set up your wallet, fund it, and place your first order — in one place.

This is the shortest path from zero to your first trade on Calibri. Four steps: **create an account**, **set up your wallet**, **fund it**, and **place an order**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up with an email address, **continue with Google**, or **Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE)** using a wallet. Email signups verify their address; a Google account is already verified, so it signs you straight in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your wallet">
    Calibri is fully non-custodial, so your funds live in a Safe that only you control. Set it up with a **passkey** (Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN — nothing to install) or by **connecting a wallet** you already use. See [Your wallet options](/non-custodial/wallets).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund it">
    Calibri settles in **USDC** (a US-dollar stablecoin, 6 decimals). Send USDC to your Safe's address and it becomes spendable for trading. See [Funding your account](/wallet-deposits).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Place your first order">
    Pick a market, choose **YES** or **NO**, and place a **limit** order. Price is between `0.01` and `0.99` and reads as a probability — a YES order at `0.60` means the market prices the outcome at \~60%. See [Placing orders](/trading-placing-orders) and [Core concepts](/concepts/core-concepts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it settle">
    When the market resolves, **winning contracts pay the full 1.00 USDC per share** and losing contracts pay `0`. There is **no fee at settlement** — the only trading cost is the taker fee at the moment of the fill. You claim the payout yourself; see [Redeeming winnings](/non-custodial/redeeming-winnings) and [Fees](/concepts/fees).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What "non-custodial" means for you

Calibri never holds your money. Your USDC sits in **your own Gnosis Safe** on-chain, and only your keys can move it.

* You **sign** every order. The operator relays it to the market and pays the gas, so signing costs you nothing.
* You **redeem winnings yourself** after a market resolves — the payout is yours to claim, not Calibri's to release.
* Your funds stay **withdrawable even if Calibri is offline**.

<Note>
  The trade-off is that self-custody is genuinely self-custody: nobody can recover your wallet for you. See [Your wallet options](/non-custodial/wallets) for how each setup handles that, and [Self-custody](/non-custodial/overview) for the full model.
