Getting Started

Claiming your invite

You join Rising Tide through an invite, and invites are warm - they arrive already carrying what you need. When you claim one, you do not land on a setup checklist. You land set up.

No invite? Ask for a spot at risingtide.app/join. We open a limited number of places each month, and the form asks what you make rather than who you know. When a spot opens, your invite appears on the link the form gives you.

1. Open your claim link (profile.risingtide.app/claim/<your-code>)
2. Choose how to sign in - your Google or X account, or a wallet you already have
3. Complete sign-in

That is it. Your account is created, a wallet is ready, starter funds are waiting, and you are dropped into the app your inviter meant to bring you to, pointed at a first thing to do. This is a funded invite - the whole point is that you can act immediately, without funding anything yourself.

Signing in

A hosted account creates a wallet for you automatically - no wallet app, no seed phrase. Sign in with Google or X. Those two are the whole list, because they are the two an invite can be locked to, and an account that cannot claim its invite arrives with nothing in it.

BYOW (Bring Your Own Wallet) connects a wallet you already have (Leather, Xverse, etc.). You sign in by signing a challenge message.

Both give you the same access; you pick one method per account.

Your welcome

The first thing you see is a short welcome: who invited you, and what you have been set up with, in plain terms rather than raw balances.

Behind it your hub opens on your shelf - what you have earned so far, and the single next thing worth doing, written as an instruction. That is the top of the page on purpose: on day one the useful sentence is "drop a bottle", not a balance readout. Below it sit your balance, your collection, and an activity rail showing what you do across every app on the protocol.

That next step is the first rung of your achievements, which walk you through the three apps and end by handing you an invite of your own.

Roles

Your invite grants a role. A Member can collect work; an Early Adopter can also create and publish. Roles can be raised later as you participate.

Apps work the same way. An invite opens the app it was sent for, and your achievements open the rest as you use them - so access is something you earn by making things, not something you ask for.

Finding your address

Your wallet address appears in the top-right of the header and on your profile page - something like SP2A...F4K3. It is your permanent identity across every app on the protocol.
