Start

# How to start.

Accord runs on NEAR testnet. Sign in with your own NEAR wallet, choose how you use it, and open a deal room with your counterparty.

## Five steps, in the app

- 01 Sign in Connect a NEAR wallet: Meteor, Intear, Ledger, Nightly or WalletConnect on testnet. Every signature that moves money happens in your own account.

- 02 Choose a workspace Buyer, vendor or settlement authority. Each workspace shows only what that role needs; switch at any time.

- 03 Create a deal room Pick the agreement type, write the brief and name the vendor and its settlement authority. The room becomes its own NEAR account.

- 04 Invite your counterparty Share the room link. Each side seals its limits in its own browser; the agents negotiate inside the Sealed Table and both companies approve the terms.

- 05 Fund and run The buyer funds the escrow in USDC on NEAR. The agent pays only what the terms allow; anything else is refused and recorded.

## Open the app NEAR testnet · test USDC

Settlement uses a test USDC token, so nothing here moves real money. The guided path funds your account from a faucet and opens a room against Accord's demo vendor.
