# Getting Started
What came first? The chikn or the $EGG? If we’re speaking chronologically, there’s a clear answer. But if we’re talking about how to get started with Chikn, **it’s a very different story.**
The Chikn ecosystem is always evolving, and if this is your first time here it can seem a little overwhelming. But just like other games, a little bit of time and experimentation is all it takes to get familiar with the mechanics of Chikn.
In this guide, we’ll go through one possible path to entering Chikn that closely follows our chronology. But remember, there’s more than one way to crack an egg: this is by no means the only way to get involved, and other ways to start with Chikn work just as well.
