👤Creating an Account

In order to access OpenPeer you'll need to sign in from your wallet and accept the platform terms. With OpenPeer your self-custody wallet address is your account and you don't need to maintain any passwords other than access to your wallet.

To post an ad or create an order you will have to set a username and email for notifications. Usernames help other traders remember you if you trade with them multiple times. By adding an email for notifications we ensure that you're notified through every step of the trade and complete the trade in a timely manner.

When posting an ad or creating an order you'll be prompted to set your username and email. However you can also do this by clicking the avatar circle on the top right of any app page. On the profile screen you can go to the edit profile page. Here you can set your username, a profile photo and the email you'd like to receive notifications on.

We also strongly recommend verifying your profile by clicking the Get Verified button. Here you'll complete a KYC verification that will mint an NFT onto your wallet. This gives other traders confidence that you're a trusted party that they can safely trade with.
