# Quickstart

From signup to your first token: the fastest path for buyers and sellers.

Go from signup to your first token in a few minutes. Start by creating your account, then follow the path for how you want to use Skyfire — as a buyer, a seller, or both.

## 1. Sign up and log in

1. Visit the <Anchor target="_blank" href="https://app.skyfire.xyz">Skyfire Dashboard</Anchor>.
2. Enter your email and log in with a **magic link**, no passwords.
3. On signup, your **Buyer Agent** is created automatically, along with a **pre-funded wallet** so you can start using paid services right away.

## 2. Choose your path

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="As a Buyer">
    Check out the Playground to create your first token:

1. Open the **Playground** from the homepage or side navigation.
2. Create your first token in the Playground (or directly via the API with the pre-filled parameters).
3. Browse the **Directory** to find services your agent can access programmatically.

> The Playground is just an on-ramp. Want more detail? See the full [Buyer Guide](/docs/buyer-guide).
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="As a Seller">
1. From the home screen, click **Create a Seller Account**.
2. Set a **Display Name**.
3. Click **Create Service** and provide details like: name, type, pricing, identity requirements, etc.
4. Submit for approval.

> Want more detail? See the full [Seller Guide](/docs/seller-guide).
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 3. Use your API keys

API keys are created and managed in your **Agent Dashboard**, and each key is scoped to a single agent (Buyer or Seller).

Pass your key on every request in the `skyfire-api-key` header:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.skyfire.xyz/api/v1/tokens \
  -H "skyfire-api-key: <BUYER_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type": "kya", "sellerServiceId": "223bc3eb-9bcb-4e9b-afd6-f26ee0bd3894"}'
```

> Remember to keep API keys secret. Anyone with a key can act as that agent. See [API Authentication](/reference/api-authentication) for the full reference.
