Account Setup
Connect Account
Users can setup their new Vela Exchange account by connecting to the application with any of the support wallets.
Profile
The very first time that a new user connects to the Vela Exchange, they will be asked for a referral ID.
This is an optional, one-time opportunity to give referral credit to another wallet address, for which they will earn a small portion of fees produced from a referees trading account.
Users are encouraged to create their unique Vela Exchange profile to distinguish themselves on Vela Exchange trading leaderboards.
Users can also opt-in to receive e-mail/ SMS notifications for important position alerts. This is not required and all opt-in data is hosted in secure, encrypted servers hosted by enterprise providers with high uptime and availability.
Alerts and Notifications
Users have the option of receiving trigger notifications via SMS and email by enabling toggle options on the user settings page. Position Notifications toggle must be On in order to receive any push notifications outside of the exchange. Users are then able to choose how they would like to receive those notifications, via email or phone.
