# Onboarding

## Signing Up on Anoncoin

To get started on Anoncoin, sign up using your **X (Twitter) account**. This is the only authentication method on the platform.

### Why X?

Signing up with X allows us to:

* **Verify you as a real user** without requiring personal information
* **Generate a platform wallet**, powered by Privy, tied to your account
* **Keep your identity anonymous** while maintaining platform integrity

***

## Your Anonymous Username

When you sign up, your platform username is automatically set to the **last six characters** of your newly created wallet address.

**Example:** If your wallet is `7xK9...b3Zt9h`, your username will display as `b3Zt9h`.

This ensures:

* ✅ Your real X handle is **never shown** to other users
* ✅ All coins created under your wallet are visible under this username
* ✅ Other users can see if the same anonymous creator has launched multiple coins

***

## Your Platform Wallet

Upon sign-up, a dedicated **platform wallet**, powered by Privy, is automatically created for you. This wallet serves as:

* **Your deployer wallet** - used to create and launch coins
* **Your trading wallet** - buy and sell coins created on Anoncoin
* **Your personal wallet** - send and receive SOL

> 📌 **No external wallet needed.** Everything is built into the platform. You can start creating and trading immediately after signing up.

***

## Coin Creation Limits

To maintain platform quality and prevent spam:

* Users can create **up to 3 coins per day** per account
* Limits are tied to your X account's follower count and may be adjusted over time

***

## Security - Enable 2FA

We **highly encourage** enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) immediately after sign-up.

2FA protects you in case:

* Your X account gets compromised
* Someone gains unauthorized access to your session
* You're targeted by phishing attacks

### How to Enable 2FA

1. Go to your **Profile** settings
2. Navigate to **Security**
3. Enable **2FA**
4. Set up using your authenticator app

> ⚠️ **Strongly Recommended:** Enable 2FA right away. This is the most important step you can take to protect your funds.
