# Getting started

> What Doxa is, how to sign in, and where to go next.

Doxa is one trading terminal for prediction markets. It brings markets from several venues into a single place. You browse them together, trade them from one balance, and track your positions in one portfolio.

The set of venues changes over time, so the list of venues you see in the app is the one that applies to you.

## Sign in

You sign in with your Google account. Google is currently the only sign-in method. Doxa creates your wallets for you when your account is created, so you do not need to bring a wallet of your own.

## New accounts

Whether a new account needs an invite code depends on how Doxa is currently set up.

- If invite codes are required, enter your code on the sign-in screen before you continue with Google.
- If you were sent a referral link, your code is filled in for you.
- If you do not have a code, use **Join the waitlist** on the sign-in screen.

Returning users sign in directly with Google and do not need a code.

## Availability

Doxa is not available in every region. See the [Terms](https://doxa.pro/terms) for details.
