# 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).

### Key Contracts

Always ensure you are interacting with the right $BOTTO token contracts

{% hint style="success" %}
**Ethereum**\
`0x9dfad1b7102d46b1b197b90095b5c4e9f5845bba`
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Base**\
`0x24914cb6bd01e6a0cf2a9c0478e33c25926e6a0c` 
{% endhint %}

### **Get Started**

1. [Set up an Ethereum and/or Base wallet](https://docs.botto.com/overview/quickstart/setup-ethereum-wallet).
2. [Fund that wallet with ETH and/or Base ETH](https://docs.botto.com/overview/quickstart/getting-some-ether-eth).
3. [Get some $BOTTO tokens](https://docs.botto.com/overview/depositing-botto/getting-botto-tokens).
4. [Stake $BOTTO tokens onto the Botto App](https://docs.botto.com/overview/depositing-botto).
5. [Vote on your favorite art pieces](https://docs.botto.com/overview/voting)!

We estimate these steps will take roughly 15-30 minutes. We recommend going through these steps procedurally on a laptop/desktop.
