# Quickstart

Getting started with Pluton is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to initiate your first cross-chain transaction:

***

#### 1. Estimate Your Transaction

Endpoint: POST `/quote/estimateRequest` Body Example:

{% code fullWidth="false" %}

```json
{
  "fromChainId": 42161,
  "fromToken": "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7",
  "fromAmount": "100000000",
  "toChainId": 101,
  "toToken": "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112",
  "toAddress": "DestinationWalletAddress",
  "slippage": 0.005,
  "affiliate": "optionalAffiliateId",
  "referrer": "optionalReferrerId"
}
```

{% endcode %}

Response:Returns available solver quotes and intent responses for your request.

***

#### 2. Select a Quote and Get Transaction Data

Endpoint: POST `/quote/selectRequest` Body Example:

```json
{
  "id": "intentResponseId", // Use the ID from the estimate response
  "sourceWalletAddress": "0xYourWallet",
  "destinationWalletAddress": "DestinationWalletAddress"
}
```

Response: Returns the transaction data (transaction.pluton) you need to sign and broadcast on-chain.

***

That’s it!

* Use `/quote/estimate` to get available routes and quotes.
* Use `/quote/select` to get the transaction payload for signing and execution.

For more advanced flows (refunds, affiliate claims, history), see the [Integration Guide](/pluton-fnance/technical/integration-guide.md).
