# Getting started

Four steps, in the app.

1. Confirm your investor status. \[Investor statements, excluded jurisdictions and how long a confirmation stays valid: solicitor]
2. Register with an email address and the wallet you'll deposit from. Interest and principal are paid back to that wallet, so use one you control and intend to keep.
3. Choose a vault and sign the note: Open, 6 months or 12 months. Signing is electronic, in the app, with your wallet.
4. Deposit USDC to the vault on a supported network. Interest starts the day the deposit clears, and the note and its schedule show in your account.

Minimums are \[Open minimum: Alpha] on Open, 2,500 USDC on 6 months and 1,500 USDC on 12 months. Terms and rates has everything else.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.eiva.money/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
