GET STARTED

From Zero to FOID in 5 Minutes.

FOID runs on Fluent — an L2 where transactions cost a fraction of a cent. When you connect, FOID Wallet spins up a secure wallet right in your browser: just choose a password and confirm with your passkey. No MetaMask required. No seed phrases to babysit.

New to any of the words below? glossary.md has quick definitions. Here's how to get in:

1. Connect your wallet

Click connect and choose FOID Wallet. Pick a password (6+ characters), confirm with your passkey (Face ID / Touch ID / Windows Hello), and you're in — no extensions, no seed phrases. Already have MetaMask? That works too; FOID auto-detects Fluent and prompts you to add the network. (Curious how the wallet keeps your keys safe? See wallet.md.)

2. Get some ETH for gas

You need a tiny bit of ETH to pay for transactions (a fraction of a cent each). Gas on Fluent is dirt cheap — a dollar or two goes a very long way. Bridge ETH over from Ethereum, or grab some from the community to get moving.

3. Pray with Foid Mommy

Head to /pray and start the terminal. Tell her how you're feeling; she'll ask you a question; you respond; together you craft a prayer. A hash of it goes onchain and your streak begins. This part is completely free — just gas, a few cents. Come back tomorrow and the day after: your streak is what earns your voting power.

4. Vote on proposals (optional)

Go to /vote and start swiping on active proposals. Right to approve, left to reject. Every vote is an onchain transaction, weighted by your prayer streak — it takes 51% weighted approval plus 3 unique voters for a placement to pass. This is how the community decides what gets built permanently.

5. Propose to the Loreboard (optional)

Open /board to see the canvas, then head to /vote/submit to submit your own placement. Drag an image onto the grid, choose an open spot, and submit — it costs a flat 0.001 ETH. Voting runs for 72 hours, and the community decides whether your meme joins the permanent canon. Note: the fee is spent whether or not it passes, so propose something worth remembering.

6. Join the community

Follow @foidfun for updates. Star the GitHub repo if you're into that. Come say hi — DMs are open.


That's it

You're in. Start praying. Vote on what matters. Propose memes worth keeping.

Your participation is being recorded. Your consistency will be rewarded. Your MiFOID is forming.

The internet forgets. FOID remembers.

Still confused? That's fair — this is weird. DM @foidfun on Twitter and we'll help you out.
