# Getting Started

> From an empty wallet to a live pool receiving flow

You can set up a pool from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.hadron.fi) or with the SDK
([TypeScript](/sdk/quickstart.md) or [Rust](/sdk/rust/hadron-quickstart.md)). A common setup is to design
curves in the dashboard and send price updates from your own crank. For an example crank, see
[hadron-cli](https://github.com/Hadron-Fi/hadron-cli).

## 1. Create the pool

Create it from [dashboard.hadron.fi/create](https://dashboard.hadron.fi/create) or the SDK
quickstart. New pools start in `RejectSwaps`, so nothing can trade until you turn it on.

## 2. Assign the keys

Keep the pool authority cold (a hardware wallet or multisig), give your crank a separate quoting key,
and set a pause key your alerting can reach. See [Running your pool](/makers/running-your-pool.md).

## 3. Fund it and set your curves

Deposit both tokens and set your price and inventory curves. The dashboard's curve editor shows
each curve as you build it. See [How Hadron prices a trade](/makers/pricing.md) and
[Strategy examples](/examples/strategies.md).

## 4. Start pushing prices

Have your crank send midprice updates. See [Landing price updates](/makers/landing-transactions.md).

## 5. Set your risk controls

Set a staleness limit, the drawdown guard and the factor clamp. All three are off or neutral by
default. See [Risk controls](/makers/risk-controls.md).

## 6. Go live

Set the pool to `Initialized` from the dashboard's Manage page or the SDK. Routers can take up to
30 minutes to start sending flow. See [Routing and flow segmentation](/makers/routing-and-flow.md).

Want different prices for different flow? Send us your pool authority wallet so we can allowlist it
for a spread config.
