# Getting Started

Getting started with Botto is easy. Anyone can [create an account and log in](https://studio.botto.com/) with their social media, email, or wallet of their choice, and then start voting with a free weekly allocation of 100 Voting Points (VP).

To become a full DAO member, earn additional VP, access weekly rewards, or participate in governance, you'll need to have at least [100 $BOTTO staked](https://docs.botto.com/overview/depositing-botto). 

**Note:** If you're new to crypto, and don't yet have a funded ETH wallet, you'll need to take a few preliminary steps before getting started with Botto below. If this is you, [click here](https://docs.botto.com/overview/quickstart/setup-ethereum-wallet).
