# Your First Steps

After creating your account, you land on the **Portfolio** dashboard. This is your home base in Pecunity, where you see everything at a glance.

---

## The Portfolio dashboard

Your dashboard shows:

- **Total balance** — the combined value of your wallet tokens, locked $PEC, and active strategies
- **Portfolio chart** — how your balance has changed over time (1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or 90 days)
- **Allocation breakdown** — how your assets are distributed across wallet, strategies, and locked tokens
- **Token table** — a detailed list of all tokens you hold, with prices and balances

If your portfolio is empty, you'll see a getting-started guide that walks you through the next steps.

## Fund your account

To start using Pecunity, you need to deposit tokens into your smart account. You have several options:

### Buy crypto with fiat

Use the **Buy Crypto** feature to purchase USDT or BTC directly with bank transfer or card. Pecunity uses the DFX on-ramp service to process your purchase.

[!ref Buy Crypto](/getting-started/buy-crypto/)

### Transfer from another wallet

If you already hold crypto in another wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.), you can send tokens directly to your Pecunity smart account address. Find your address in the **Settings** or by using the **Receive** function.

### Use WalletConnect

Connect your existing Web3 wallet via **WalletConnect** to interact with dApps while using your Pecunity smart account.
