# Onboarding & Welcome Grant

> First-session experience: welcome grant, opening the app, first claim.

## Sign-up flow

1. Open the Binibit Telegram bot
2. Tap "Start" and authorize the mini-app
3. Receive your **welcome grant** (auto-credited)
4. Take a brief tour highlighting Claim, Lessons, and Bridges
5. Land on the home screen with mining already in progress

The whole flow takes under a minute. No KYC. No external wallet connection. Telegram identity is the account identifier.

## Welcome grant

<Note>
  The welcome grant value is being finalized between the team. Two values are in flight:

  * **1,000 USBI** (canonical economy v3.1)
  * **5 USBI + 0.1 BINI** (production simulation v3.0)

  The production rollout will use one of these. Check the in-app value at signup for the canonical answer for your account.
</Note>

The welcome grant exists so every new user has **non-zero capacity to participate** in the ecosystem from minute one. They can claim, swap on BaiDEX immediately at Level 1 (no gate to use the DEX), provide a small LP position, or just hold.

## What you can do at Level 1 (right after signup)

* Claim CRS every 4 hours (mining is already running)
* Use BaiDEX to swap (no level gate)
* Read the 30 lessons to plan your upgrade path
* View your USBI entitlement (currently 0 + welcome grant)
* View your XP (currently 0)

## What's gated until later

## First-session tips

1. **Don't claim immediately on signup.** Mining starts but takes 4 hours to fill. Come back later for your first full claim.
2. **Read at least one lesson card.** Lessons are 30-second teachings — not just upgrade buttons.
3. **Pace your CRS spend.** Lesson L1 is cheap, lesson L10 is exponentially expensive. Spread upgrades across many lessons rather than maxing one.
4. **Set up referrals.** Your invite link is in the profile menu. Each referral that becomes active contributes to your CRS earnings.
