# Getting Started

Connect a wallet, find a product and make your first subscription on Venzo.

This guide takes you from your first visit to your first position on Venzo. The screens are shown as of 26 September 2026.

{% step %}

### Connect your wallet

Go to [app.venzofinance.com](https://app.venzofinance.com) and select Connect Wallet in the top right corner. You can sign in with an embedded self-custodial wallet or connect a supported wallet of your own. On your first visit, review and accept Venzo's Terms of Use, Risk Statement and geographic restrictions. Products are not available to people in restricted jurisdictions.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Explore the marketplace

Explore lists every product in one place. The Total value card shows the total value across Venzo's products, and the New row features the latest products. Two filters narrow the list.

* **Strategy type:** Curated Vaults or OTPs, or one strategy: Arbitrage, Market Neutral, Private Credit or RWA.
* **Liquidity:** Flexible for exit at any time, or a Weekly, Monthly or Epoch schedule.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose a product

Each Curated Vault card shows the curator, a summary of the mandate, the strategy type, the redemption schedule, the headline rate and a Deposit button. Each OTP card shows the OTP type, the basket, the past return and a Buy button. Select a card to open the product page and read its terms, fees and risk disclosures.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Subscribe

For a Curated Vault, deposit an accepted stablecoin and receive Receipt Tokens, as set out in [Deposit into a Curated Vault](/venzofinance-docs/venzo-app/deposit-into-a-curated-vault.md). For an OTP, create your portfolio account and buy the whole basket in one transaction, as set out in [Buy an OTP](/venzofinance-docs/venzo-app/buy-an-otp.md). Every subscription is a transaction that your wallet signs.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Monitor your positions

Portfolio gathers your deposits, earnings and positions in one view, and Campaign shows your Polis Points. Both are set out in [Portfolio and Polis Points](/venzofinance-docs/venzo-app/portfolio-and-polis-points.md).
