# Quickstart

> Step-by-step setup wizard for first-time Retina users: unlock the app, add EVM and Solana wallets, Polymarket, manual positions, metals, then snapshot.

This is the first-time flow, end to end. You only see the setup wizard the first time. After that, you land on the Dashboard.

## Prerequisites

* A password (see [Beta access](/getting-started/beta-access))
* At least 1 wallet address you want to track (EVM or Solana)

## 1. Unlock the app

Open [useretina.xyz](https://useretina.xyz). Paste the password on the gate screen and submit. The app unlocks on this browser and device.

## 2. Run the setup wizard

The setup wizard is 5 steps. Only step 1 is required. The footer always shows a running summary like `2 positions · 7 wallets · $7,516 ready`.

<Steps>
  <Step title="EVM wallets (required)">
    Paste 1 or more EVM addresses. Each row has a label, an address field, a **check** button, and a **Use for Polymarket** checkbox. Pressing **check** fetches positions live so you can confirm the address is the one you meant.

    Tick **Use for Polymarket** on any EVM address that you also use for Polymarket. That tells Retina to read Polymarket markets for the same address without making you paste it again in step 3.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Solana addresses (optional)">
    Paste Solana addresses. Same pattern: label, address, **check** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Polymarket (optional)">
    Paste Polymarket wallet addresses. Use this step for Polymarket wallets that are not already covered by **Use for Polymarket** in step 1.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manual positions (optional)">
    Add anything Retina cannot detect from public chain data: CEX balances, niche chains, private vaults, cold wallets. Each manual position carries the same fields as an on-chain position. See [Position model](/concepts/position-model).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Metals (optional)">
    Enter physical gold and silver holdings by weight. Live spot prices come from GoldApi.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 3. Create the first snapshot

Click **Create Snapshot →** at the bottom of the wizard. Retina captures the full state (positions, prices, APYs, Polymarket state, metals) into `Snapshot #1` and loads the [Dashboard](/pages/dashboard).

<Note>
  From here, every page reads from the active snapshot. To capture a new point in time, click **+ Snapshot** in the top-right.
