# Quickstart

> Connect on BNB Chain, explore, create, trade, and borrow on VIVA when you understand the risks.

## Before you start

* **Network:** BNB Smart Chain (BSC).
* **BNB:** Gas for all txs; also quote for BNB pools.
* **USDT pools:** You need USDT + BNB for gas when trading USDT-quoted tokens.
* **Official app:** **[viva.dog](https://viva.dog)** — bookmark it; docs at **[docs.viva.dog](https://docs.viva.dog/)**.

## Connect your wallet

Use MetaMask, Binance Wallet, etc. **Connect**, then **sign the login message** if prompted — session is local, keys stay in your wallet.

## Discover

Open **Discover**, sort/filter, open a token **Trade** page. Use **search** by name, symbol, or address.

## Create a token

1. **Create** from the menu.
2. Name, symbol, image, links; set **creator fee share** within sliders (up to **15%** of each fee to you).
3. Pay the **one-time BNB creation fee** shown (+ optional first buy).
4. Share the **token address** from the Trade page.

## Trade

1. **Buy** or **Sell** on Trade.
2. Read fee, profit tax (sells), and min-out.
3. Confirm in wallet.

You **cannot sell in the same block** you bought from the pool.

## Borrow and repay

Read [Borrowing](/concepts/borrowing) and [Security](/security) first.

* **Borrow:** quote after **\~3%** open fee; lock tokens at floor valuation.
* **Repay:** unlock collateral; send required quote unless free-unlock applies after floor rises.

## Portfolio and referrals

* **Portfolio:** wallet-linked positions.
* **Referrals:** live rules on the Referrals page.
