# Getting Started

Cash City is **invite-only**. Here's how to get in and start earning.

***

## Step 1: Get an Invite Code

Every player in Cash City can generate unlimited invite codes. You can find codes through:

* Players sharing on [X (Twitter)](https://x.com/CashCityGame)
* Direct invites from friends already in the game
* Community channels

There is no other way in. No public signup, no waitlist bypass.

## Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

You'll need a Solana wallet with at least **1 SOL** to buy your first Firm. Cash City supports Phantom and other major Solana wallets.

Enter your invite code, connect your wallet, and you're on the Trading Floor.

## Step 3: Buy Your First Firm

Your first Firm costs **1 SOL**. This gives you:

* **8 desk slots** for seating Interns
* **1 Advisor slot**
* **1 free Intern Pack** to get you started

Once purchased, your Firm is live and ready to start earning $CASH.

## Step 4: Open Packs & Seat Interns

Your free Intern Pack gives you one Intern with a random rarity. Seat it at a desk on your Trading Floor, and it immediately starts earning $CASH.

To grow, you'll need to buy more Intern Packs with $CASH (200 $CASH per pack). The gacha system means every pull is a chance at a higher-rarity Intern with dramatically more Efficiency.

## Step 5: Earn & Spend

Every 15 minutes, the network distributes $CASH to all active players based on their share of total network Efficiency. Your Interns are earning around the clock.

Claim your $CASH and decide your strategy:

* Buy more Intern packs
* Upgrade your Firms
* Chase Advisors
* Purchase Consumables

***

## First Session Priorities

If you're just getting started, here's what matters most:

1. **Fill your desks.** Empty desks are wasted Efficiency. Buy packs and seat every Intern you pull, even commons.
2. **Don't upgrade immediately.** Your Level 1 firm has 8 desks. Fill them first before spending $CASH on a Level 2 upgrade (10 desks).
3. **Share your invite code.** Your Referral rewards start earning the moment someone uses your code. Put it everywhere.
