Agree to Terms of Use

Begin by reviewing our Terms of Use. After reading and agreeing to the terms, check the box, and then you'll be presented with two options:

1. Create your Account

2. Import Account

Create your Account: Creating an Akashic Account that store, send, and receive digital assets. During this setup, a private key and seed phrase is generated, serving as the user's unique access to the account. It's crucial to follow the designated steps carefully, ensuring the safety and confidentiality of the cryptographic keys, which are fundamental for managing and safeguarding one's cryptocurrency holdings.

Import Account: Importing a previous AkashicLink Account - the process of bringing an existing account's information, private keys or seed phrases, into a new account. This can be done for various reasons, including transitioning to a more secure account or accessing funds from a different device. It's essential to exercise caution and adhere to security best practices during the import process to safeguard the integrity of the cryptocurrency holdings.

Create your Account

1. Upon selecting "Create your Account," you will be directed to a page where you need to create your password. This step is crucial for ensuring the security and authenticity of your account. Once you input your password, you will progress to the next step. This password serves as an additional layer of protection for the creation of your account.

Insert your password ->

Confirm your password

1. After correctly setting a password and confirming it, AkashicLink will generate your personalised account. This ensures a secure and unique space for managing your digital assets.

2. In the subsequent step, users are required to record a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase for the newly created account. It's crucial to emphasize that these phrases are accessible only once, specifically on this page. We strongly advise users to securely back up these phrases, preferably in a location external to their mobile or any digital devices, to mitigate risks in the event of a security breach.

Hidden Secret Recovery Phrase ->

Reveal Secret Recovery Phrase

1. Select "Reveal Recovery Phrase" located at the bottom left to unveil the phrases. You now have the option to either write down the 12 words in a secure location or utilize the "Copy to clipboard" button for convenience. While the copy function is provided for ease of use, we highly recommend users manually jot down the phrases for enhanced security.

2. After memorisation, you will encounter the following page, prompting you to enter the missing Recovery Phrases to finalise your account setup. This step ensures the accuracy of your phrases, adding an extra layer of security for future account recovery or importing.

KeyPair or 12-Words Recovery Phrase

In here, 2 options are presented to you, you can choose either to enter:

1. KeyPair

2. 12-Word Recovery Phrase

KeyPair: the KeyPair is the private key that is unique to every account address. The private key is a secret, alphanumeric string that allows the owner of the account to access and control the funds associated with the corresponding public address. While the public address (often referred to as a public key) is shared with others to receive funds, the private key must be kept confidential. Access to the private key grants control over the associated cryptocurrency, so it is crucial to keep it secure and private. We'll address the location of this KeyPair later in the account.

12-Word Recovery Phrase: This comprises a distinctive 12-word recovery phrase provided during the initial account creation. As emphasized earlier, access to these phrases is a one-time occurrence, confined to the account's creation. If you don't possess these phrases, the KeyPair can be utilized as an alternative.

KeyPair

1. After opting for the KeyPair choice, the initial action is to input your KeyPair, a sequence of 64 characters. Once the correct KeyPair is entered, click "Confirm" to proceed.

Enter your KeyPair ->

Create a password

1. Upon successfully verifying your account with the KeyPair, AkashicLink will ask you to create a password for the account. The password will only be stored locally on your device, meaning each time you import an account you can create a different password. If you've executed these steps accurately, AkashicLink will commence importing your account.

12-Word Secret Recovery Phrase

1. Opt for the 12-Word Recovery Phrase option by clicking the "12-Words" button. This will direct you to a page where you must enter all 12 words in the precise order and with case sensitivity, just as when you initially created your account.

Enter your Recovery Phrase ->

Create a password

1. After successfully confirming your Recovery Phrases, AkashicLink will ask you to create a password for the account. The password will only be stored locally on your device, meaning each time you import an account you can create a different password. If you've executed these steps accurately, AkashicLink will commence importing your account.
