# Set Up Your DexUtils Account: Profile, Security, and Billing

> Create your DexUtils account, connect your wallet, configure notification preferences, and manage your subscription from the dashboard.

Your DexUtils account is the control center for your watchlists, alerts, portfolio data, and API credentials. This guide covers every step of the setup process — from creating your account and verifying your email to enabling two-factor authentication and managing your subscription. Work through these steps once and your preferences will persist across all devices.

## Creating Your Account

DexUtils supports two ways to create an account. Choose the method that best fits your workflow:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Email Signup">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Go to the registration page">
        Navigate to [dexutils.io/register](https://dexutils.io/register). Click **Sign up with Email**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter your details">
        Provide your email address and choose a password that is at least 10 characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify your email">
        Check your inbox for a message from **[noreply@dexutils.io](mailto:noreply@dexutils.io)** with the subject line *Confirm your DexUtils account*. Click the **Confirm Email** button inside the message.

        <Note>
          The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder or click **Resend verification email** on the login page.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Complete your profile">
        After confirming your email you will be prompted to set a display name, choose your default blockchain, and select a preferred display currency. You can update all of these later in **Settings > Profile**.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Wallet Connect">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Go to the registration page">
        Navigate to [dexutils.io/register](https://dexutils.io/register). Click **Connect Wallet**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select your wallet provider">
        Choose from the supported wallet options:

        * **MetaMask** — browser extension or mobile app
        * **WalletConnect** — scan the QR code from any compatible mobile wallet

        ```text theme={null}
        Supported WalletConnect wallets include Trust Wallet, Rainbow,
        Ledger Live, Argent, and 300+ others.
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Sign the authentication message">
        Your wallet will prompt you to sign a one-time login message. This signature proves wallet ownership — it does **not** authorize any transaction or spending of funds.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set an email address (optional)">
        Adding an email address to your wallet-connected account enables email alerts and account recovery. You can skip this step and add an email later in **Settings > Profile**.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Warning>
      DexUtils only requires a **signature** to authenticate — never a transaction approval. If any prompt asks you to approve token spending or send funds during login, close the window immediately and contact [support@dexutils.io](mailto:support@dexutils.io).
    </Warning>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Configuring Your Profile

After your account is active, open **Settings > Profile** to customize how DexUtils behaves for you:

<Accordion title="Display Name">
  Set a username that appears on your watchlists and alert history. Display names must be 3–30 characters and may contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Default Chain">
  Choose the blockchain that DexUtils loads first when you open the Pair Explorer. You can switch chains at any time from the dashboard, but setting a default reduces the number of clicks in your daily workflow. Supported options include Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, and Solana.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Preferred Currency">
  Select the fiat or crypto denomination used to display prices and portfolio values throughout the platform:

  * **USD** — default for most traders
  * **ETH** — useful when evaluating ETH-denominated pairs
  * **BTC** — benchmark performance against Bitcoin
</Accordion>

## Setting Up Notifications

DexUtils delivers alerts through three channels. Configure each one in **Settings > Notifications**:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Email Alerts" icon="envelope">
    Enable email delivery for price and volume alerts. Alerts arrive within 10–15 seconds of the trigger condition being met. Make sure your email address is verified before enabling this channel.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Browser Push" icon="bell">
    Grant notification permission when prompted by your browser. Push alerts appear even when the DexUtils tab is in the background, as long as the browser is open.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Telegram Bot" icon="paper-plane">
    Connect the **@DexUtilsBot** on Telegram by clicking **Connect Telegram** in notification settings. Send the displayed one-time code to the bot to link your account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Quiet Hours" icon="moon">
    Set a daily quiet-hours window in your local timezone to pause non-critical notifications overnight without disabling your alerts entirely.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Connecting a Wallet for Portfolio Tracking

Linking a wallet lets DexUtils aggregate your on-chain token balances, LP positions, and historical P\&L into the Portfolio Tracker — without ever requiring transaction signing.

<Warning>
  DexUtils only needs **read-only** access to your public wallet address. The platform never asks you to sign a transaction, approve token spending, or share your private key or seed phrase. Anyone asking for those details is not DexUtils.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Portfolio settings">
    Navigate to **Settings > Portfolio** and click **Add Wallet**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your wallet address">
    Paste your public wallet address (EVM `0x…` or Solana base58 address). You can add up to 10 addresses on the free tier and unlimited addresses on Pro.

    ```text theme={null}
    EVM example:    0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
    Solana example: 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Label the wallet (optional)">
    Give the wallet a descriptive label — for example, *Hot Wallet*, *Cold Storage*, or *DeFi Trading* — so it is easy to identify in the portfolio view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and sync">
    Click **Add Wallet**. DexUtils will index your token balances and transaction history. Initial indexing takes 30–60 seconds for most wallets; wallets with extensive history may take a few minutes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Securing your account with 2FA is strongly recommended, especially if you store API keys or Telegram credentials in your DexUtils profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Security settings">
    Go to **Settings > Security** and click **Enable Two-Factor Authentication**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the QR code">
    Open an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password and scan the QR code displayed on screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the confirmation code">
    Type the 6-digit code generated by your authenticator app into the confirmation field and click **Verify**. 2FA activates immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your backup codes">
    DexUtils generates 8 single-use backup codes after 2FA is enabled. Store these codes in a secure location such as a password manager. You will need one if you ever lose access to your authenticator app.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  If you lose access to both your authenticator app and your backup codes, contact [support@dexutils.io](mailto:support@dexutils.io) with proof of account ownership to begin the account recovery process.
