# Set up your wallet

The arena pays out to the wallet you sign in with. So before your first round you need three things in a wallet **you control**, on **Robinhood Chain**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Never use an exchange account or a custodial wallet.** The arena sends winnings back to the address that paid in. If that address belongs to an exchange, the money goes to the exchange, not to you.
{% endhint %}

## 1. A browser or mobile wallet

Any wallet that works with Ethereum-style chains works here: MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, or a mobile wallet through WalletConnect. If you have never had one, MetaMask's browser extension is the simplest start. Write your recovery phrase down on paper and never type it into a website. The game will never ask for it.

## 2. Robinhood Chain in that wallet

Robinhood Chain is the network BAWSAQ lives on. When you press **Connect wallet** in the game it asks your wallet to add the network for you. If you would rather add it by hand:

| Setting      | Value                                     |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Network name | Robinhood Chain                           |
| Chain ID     | 4663                                      |
| RPC URL      | `https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com` |
| Currency     | ETH                                       |
| Explorer     | `https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com`   |

## 3. A little ETH for gas

Every transaction on Robinhood Chain costs a tiny fee in ETH. Entering a round is two transactions and claiming is one, so a few dollars of ETH covers many rounds. Gas is cheap here, a few cents per transaction at the time of writing.

## 4. At least 1,000 BAWSAQ

BAWSAQ is the exchange's own token. One arena entry costs 1,000. Get it at the exchange: [bawsaq.org/exchange](https://www.bawsaq.org/exchange/). The token contract is `0x9BAF5f0bA48ECdFCb9E30a937708dA8c3cCA1D0d`. Check it against the address shown in the game before you buy anything.

## Check yourself

Open your wallet, switch to Robinhood Chain, and confirm you can see both an ETH balance and a BAWSAQ balance. If both are there, you are ready for [your first round](/start-here/enter-the-arena.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Want to see your bags in the game without connecting anything? On step 2 of the join screen, paste your wallet **address** and press **Use this wallet**. The game only reads it. Your biggest listed coin becomes your [badge](/bawsaq-and-the-chain/your-badge.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/start-here/wallet-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
