# Getting Started

- [Guard \[BBB\]](/getting-started/guard-bbb.md): While Guard serves as our native payment system and a channels management platform, a special invitation or an approved application is required to gain purchasing privileges.
- [Invitations \[BBB\]](/getting-started/invitations-bbb.md): As mentioned earlier, \[BBB] operates on an Invitation-Only model – not only to preserve the scarcity of our tools, but also to ensure that our circle of users remains loyal and properly rewarded.
- [Applications \[BBB\]](/getting-started/applications-bbb.md): At \[BBB], our priority is ensuring users keep their edge in the market. Thats why we utilise an applications system to carefully curate who we allow to access our tools to navigate the ocean of rugs.
- [Setup Tips](/getting-started/setup-tips.md): The following is a set of general tips that will help get started with BBB and create your own system.
