# Getting Started

To start, users need to download the STEPN app

1. **Download the STEPN app:** Download from [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/au/app/stepn/id1598112424) or [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bcy.fsapp)**.**
2. **Sign-up for STEPN:** Once the app is installed on your device, you can sign up using your email address. You will receive a verification code to enter and gain access to the app.
3. **Create a new Wallet:** Tap the Wallet icon in the top right corner of the screen. The app will generate a 12-word secret phrase, crucial for recovering your Wallet if you uninstall the app or forget your password. **Important:** Note this phrase down and store it in a secure location that only you can access.
4. **Purchasing SPARK with Apple Pay (iOS):** Use Apple Pay to buy SPARK, available in the in-app Marketplace.
5. **Transfer GMT into your in-app Wallet (iOS/Android):** To buy NFT Sneakers in the Marketplace, transfer GMT to your in-app wallet. Keep some SOL/BNB/ETH in your wallet as well for transaction fees.
6. **Purchase a Sneaker:** Head over to the Marketplace (in-app or [m.stepn.com](http://m.stepn.com)) and chose your Sneaker! Utilise the Filter tool to find a Sneaker type that suits your preferences.

Congrats! You are all set. After the purchase of a Sneaker, Energy will restore at a rate of 25% every 6 hours (Fixed at AEDT Time 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00) **You can start your STEPN journey immediately after the first 25% Energy restoration.**
