Begin sign-up →

Open the sign-up page via a referral link

Click through to Backpack using our referral link so your account is tagged for the discount. This is the only way to activate the 5% trading-fee discount.

Create your account

Enter your email address and choose a strong, unique password. You can also sign up with a supported wallet where offered.

Verify your identity (KYC)

Upload a government ID and complete the quick verification. This unlocks deposits, trading and withdrawals.

Enable two-factor authentication

Turn on 2FA immediately to protect your account. Store your backup codes somewhere safe.

Deposit and start trading

Fund your account with crypto (deposits are free; network fees apply) and place your first trade. The 5% fee discount applies automatically as you go.

Important: Complete the sign-up in the same session you clicked the referral link, or the 5% discount may not attach. If in doubt, click the link again before registering.
