Find your starting point

Choose a specific diagnosis

• My balance is missing : compare product, network, asset and receiving credit.
• My transaction failed or is pending : locate the account, chain or receiver stage.
• My bridge has not arrived : identify the direction, missing leg and applicable clock.

These lessons use fictional records and require no wallet connection or transaction.

01 / I am new to crypto

Your goal: explain who controls an asset and what changes when you sign a transaction. No purchase is needed to learn this.

1. Locate the product you are using . A brokerage account, a crypto account, a wallet and a chain have different roles.
2. Learn custody and recovery . Decide whose keys authorize a transfer and how access could be lost.
3. Learn the essential terms : network, token, gas, address and approval.

Ready to continue when: you can explain why a password reset may restore an account login but cannot reconstruct a lost self-custody recovery phrase.

The first five lessons — learn without funds

1. Identify the product, provider and region .
2. Separate the five risk categories .
3. Understand custody and recovery .
4. Read the network without operating it .
5. Verify a claim and keep its boundaries .

Each includes an explanation and a safe exercise or comprehension check. These are the foundation for the learning paths below.

02 / I already use the Robinhood app

Your goal: distinguish a trade inside the app from a withdrawal onto a specific network.

1. Read the product and region map ; identify your account provider.
2. Read the transfer network checks ; buying an asset does not establish that every network carrying it is supported.
3. Write a transfer plan . Check the actual account screens and the receiver's deposit requirements.

Ready to continue when: you can name the asset, source network, destination network and receiving product separately. If the receiving service cannot confirm support, stop.

03 / I want to use Robinhood Chain

Your goal: understand the network before sending assets to it.

1. Learn how the L2 fits together .
2. Compare mainnet and testnet settings against current official documentation.
3. Understand the ETH gas budget and compare transfer routes .
4. Learn to read the transaction record before you need to diagnose one.

Ready to continue when: you know how to verify a transaction on the correct explorer and can identify the extra steps needed to return through your selected route.

04 / Something does not look right

Your goal: identify the state of a problem without signing an unnecessary follow-up transaction.

• Funds missing? Separate “not broadcast”, “failed” and “executed” .
• Cannot send a token? Check ETH on the same network .
• Unexpected signature? Understand the permission request .
• Unexpected support message? Use the security response guide .

Support may need a public transaction hash, network and time. Never disclose a private key, recovery phrase, login code or full account credentials. A stranger's “recovery” contract can make the loss worse.

Read the record you already have

Use a specific lesson when the issue is a balance, an order or a transfer state. Each provides fictional records that you can interpret without logging in or operating funds.

• Buying power differs from withdrawable cash : identify the balance and the missing conditions.
• A transfer is pending or failed : distinguish account, chain and receiving-service stages.
• A quote differs from a fill : read actual quantities and execution prices.
• A wallet asks for a permission : separate approval, quote and completed swap.

05 / Learn money and markets

Build financial literacy from basic claims and balances to markets, risk and company reports. These lessons explain concepts; they do not recommend assets or predict outcomes.
