# Quickstart: Connect Your Wallet and Start Trading Intel

> Go from zero to live prediction market intelligence in minutes — connect your wallet, pick a tier, and hit the API or terminal right away.

You can go from a fresh browser tab to streaming live prediction market intelligence in under five minutes. This guide walks you through every step — from connecting your wallet to making your first API call.

## Connect and Explore

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Your Wallet">
    Open [sleuthintel.io](https://www.sleuthintel.io/feed) and click **Connect Wallet**. Choose from any of the supported wallets:

    * **MetaMask** — browser extension or mobile
    * **Phantom** — Solana-native, also supports EVM
    * **Base** — Coinbase smart wallet
    * **Rabby** — multi-chain desktop wallet
    * **Rainbow** — mobile-first Ethereum wallet
    * **WalletConnect** — scan-to-connect for any compatible wallet

    Sign the authentication message when prompted. No email, no password — your wallet signature is your login.

    <Note>
      Sleuth runs on Robinhood Chain (an Arbitrum L2). You do not need to bridge funds just to log in or browse the free tier.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore the Free Tier">
    Once connected, you land on the **Feed** — a real-time stream of prediction market and crypto activity. On the free tier you have access to:

    * **Feed** — full real-time event stream
    * **Signals** — a limited selection of curated signals
    * **Discover** — basic market and token discovery
    * **AI Assistant** — a restricted number of natural language queries

    Spend a few minutes browsing the Feed and Discover sections to get a feel for the data density before deciding whether to upgrade.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upgrade to a Paid Tier or Hold SLEUTH">
    When you are ready for full access, you have two ways to unlock a higher tier:

    **Option A — Subscribe:** Pay a monthly fee directly from your connected wallet.

    **Option B — Hold SLEUTH:** Keep the required token balance in your wallet. Sleuth checks your on-chain balance and grants access automatically.

    | Tier   | Monthly Price | SLEUTH to Hold |
    | ------ | ------------- | -------------- |
    | Tier 2 | \$50/mo       | 2,000 SLEUTH   |
    | Tier 3 | \$100/mo      | 3,000 SLEUTH   |
    | Tier 4 | \$150/mo      | 4,000 SLEUTH   |

    Higher tiers unlock deeper Signals, full Wallet Analysis, PM Traders leaderboards, Telegram Alerts, Watchlists, and additional API endpoints.

    <Tip>
      Holding SLEUTH is often more capital-efficient if you plan to stay on the platform long-term. The token also appreciates independently of the subscription fee.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get an API Key (Optional)">
    If you want programmatic access — for your own tooling, dashboards, or autonomous agents — generate an API key from your account settings in the app.

    1. Click your wallet address in the top-right corner of the terminal.
    2. Navigate to **Settings → API Keys**.
    3. Click **Generate New Key**, give it a label, and copy it immediately. It will not be shown again.

    Pass the key in the `Authorization` header on every request:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl https://api.sleuthintel.io/v1/feed \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    ```

    See the [Authentication](/authentication) guide for full details, including JavaScript examples and a breakdown of which endpoints each tier can reach.
