New to Hedera
Get started
Three things to set up, then you're done. Everything after that is optional.
The essentials
3 steps- 01
Create a wallet
Your wallet holds HBAR and NFTs and signs every transaction you make. HashPack and Kabila both run as a browser extension and a phone app, and either one connects to Hashly.
- 02
Get some HBAR
HBAR pays the network fee on every transaction, and those fees are fractions of a cent — a dollar's worth lasts thousands of transactions. The Hashport faucet gives you a small amount to start with.
- 03
Make your first swap
A decentralised exchange trades HBAR for any other Hedera token. Check the token ID on an explorer before you swap — anyone can name a token anything they like.
Go further
Lend and borrow
Earn yield on idle HBAR, or borrow against what you already hold.
Collect NFTs
Minting and trading cost cents here, so the NFT scene is unusually busy.
