Getting Started with Carrots

Welcome! If you’ve made it this far, you’re ready to take your first steps into the delicious world of digital carrots. Don’t worry — no shovel required. Getting started is as simple as planting a seed.

Step 1: Download a Garden (Wallet)

Your carrot garden (wallet) is where you keep your harvest. It lets you send and receive carrots safely. Choose a garden app that works for your computer or phone.

Step 2: Grow or Gather Carrots

You can grow your own by helping secure the network (see the Mining Guide), or you can trade with friends and farmers who already have carrots. Some online markets also sell them for regular money.

Step 3: Share and Spend

Once you’ve got carrots, you can send them to anyone, anywhere in the world, without asking permission from supermarkets or middlemen. Each transaction is quick, easy, and transparent.

Step 4: Stay Safe

Always keep your carrot seeds (private keys) safe. Losing them is like leaving your carrots out for the rabbits. Read more in our Privacy & Security guide.
