# Getting Started

> Connect your wallet and start using Xpectrum

## Get a wallet

Xpectrum runs on Octra mainnet. You need **0xio**, the Octra browser wallet.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install 0xio">
    Download 0xio from the Chrome Web Store. Create a new wallet or import one with your seed phrase. Your address starts with `oct`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund it with OCT">
    You need OCT to pay gas, to mint, and to trade. Send it to your `oct` address from wherever you hold it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the app">
    Go to [app.xpectrum.xyz](https://app.xpectrum.xyz) and connect your wallet. That's it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you can do

**As a collector:** browse collections, mint during active drops, buy and sell on the marketplace, place offers.

**As a creator:** deploy a collection from the Launchpad, configure your mint phases, manage your whitelist, reveal artwork, and collect proceeds on-chain.

## Before you transact

Everything on Xpectrum runs on Octra mainnet, so every transaction spends real OCT and settles for good. There is no undo and no support desk that can reverse a transfer.

Two habits worth keeping:

* **Check the network** your wallet is on before you sign. An address is the same string across Octra networks, but balances and state are tracked separately, so a wallet pointed at the wrong network will not see the balance you expect.
* **Read the transaction** in the 0xio prompt before approving it. The amount and the destination contract are both shown there.

<Note>
  Mint proceeds and sale proceeds are pull-based: they are held by the contract and you claim them in a separate transaction rather than having them pushed to you at settlement. See [Marketplace](/platform/marketplace).
