# Quickstart

Getting started with Builders Talk is fast and easy. Follow these steps to jump into secure, on-chain messaging:

**Connect Your Wallet**\
Visit the Builders Talk dApp and connect your Web3 wallet (e.g., MetaMask). This is your key to identity and access — no signups or passwords required.

**Choose a Username**\
Pick a unique, memorable username that represents you in the chat. Your messages and tips will be tied to this identity.

**Send Tips in BNB**\
Support others by sending BNB directly in the chat. The recipient gets a notification and can claim it right away — it’s fast, easy, and built into the conversation flow.
