In this simulation you’ll practice setting up a secure account on a centralized exchange.

There are many centralized exchanges to choose from and most of them have the same signup steps. On the homepage, you’ll see a button to “Sign Up” or “Create Account”. This is the first step to getting started. Click the button to start your journey.
Next, fill in your details. This is just like signing up to anything else online. Create a password that's 14+ characters using random words or a manager-generated string.
Click the fields on the left to see an example.
Centralized exchanges will send you a link or code to confirm your email. Click the button to verify your email address.
Great! You can now log in with your email and password. Once logged in, you can explore the dashboard. Enter your login credentials.
Most centralized exchanges ask you to set up extra security during your first login. This adds a time-based code at sign-in so a stolen password isn’t enough. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) now.
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It’s a process centralized exchanges use to verify your identity before allowing you to make transactions. It builds trust and security within the platform, protecting both you and the exchange from potential risks. Click the fields on the left to complete this process.
To complete KYC, you’ll need to upload a photo of a government-issued ID, passport or driver’s license.
Some centralized exchanges may ask for a quick face scan or selfie to match your face to your ID. This helps prevent fraud. Click to simulate a selfie.
Your documents will be reviewed. This can take minutes or up to a day, depending on the exchange and workload.
