Getting started¶
You can be trading on Parti in about five minutes. Here's the whole path.
1. Create your account¶
Go to parti.com and sign in with your email or phone number. There's no seed phrase to write down and no browser extension to install — Parti creates a secure wallet for you in the background the first time you sign in. That wallet is what holds your funds and signs your trades.
Where are my funds held?
Your balance is custodied as USDG (a US-dollar stablecoin, where 1 USDG ≈ $1) in an on-chain vault. You always control withdrawals back to your own wallet — see Deposits & withdrawals.
2. Add funds¶
Open the Deposit dialog. Parti shows you a personal deposit address (and a QR code). Send USDG on Robinhood Chain to it and your balance updates automatically once the deposit lands. There's no "claim" step.
See Deposits & withdrawals for the full breakdown.
3. Find a market¶
Browse markets by category — Sports, Crypto, Politics, Culture — or search for a specific event. Every market asks a clear yes/no question, for example:
Will Bitcoin close above $100,000 on December 31?
The YES price (in cents) is the market's current estimate of the probability that it happens. A YES share trading at 62¢ means the crowd thinks there's roughly a 62% chance.
4. Place your first trade¶
- Tap a market to open it.
- Choose YES (you think it'll happen) or NO (you think it won't).
- Enter how much you want to spend, or how many shares you want.
- Review the cost, the potential payout, and the fee.
- Tap Buy.
That's it — you now hold a position. Each share pays $1.00 if your side wins.
5. Watch, sell, or hold to settlement¶
You don't have to wait for the event to finish. You can sell your shares at any time at the current market price to lock in a profit (or cut a loss). If you hold until the event resolves, winning shares are redeemed for $1.00 each automatically.
See Trading for order types and Resolution & payout for how settlement works.
