## Canonical questions

- How do I start?
- Do I need an app?
- How does sign-up work on the web?

## Gold answer (short)

Follow the prompts on maya.markets—no app required. On the web, sign-up often uses an SMS code to verify your number; you can also start by texting Maya if the site shows that path. For anything account-specific, sign in or use SMS/WhatsApp as shown on the site.

## Notes for editors

- Never invent flows or numbers; defer to live CTAs.
