Accounts

This section of the documentation focuses on the account setup and customization process on Koincity, particularly for users connecting with a Koinos-compatible wallet. It outlines how users can configure their account username and enhance their profile with additional information such as nicknames, KAP domains, and other personal details.

Connecting a Koinos-Compatible Wallet​

  1. Initial Step: Users must first connect their Koinos-compatible wallet to Koincity. This is usually done through a simple authentication process on the Koincity platform.
  2. Wallet Connection: Navigate to the wallet connection section and follow the prompts to link your Koinos-compatible wallet with your Koincity account.

Setting Up an Account Username​

  1. Username Configuration: After connecting the wallet, users can set up a username for their account. This username can be a simple string and is a pre-requirement to participate in the chat.
  2. Username Selection: Choose a unique and identifiable username. This name will be visible to other users on the platform, e.g. in the chat.

Electing a Nicknames Account or a KAP Domain​

  1. Nicknames Account: Users have the option to elect a nicknames account, which offers a more personalized identification option compared to a simple username.
  2. KAP Domain Selection: Alternatively, users can choose a KAP (Koinos Address Protocol) domain. This option provides a more professional and branded presence on Koincity.

Enhancing Profile Information​

  1. Profile Customization: With a nicknames account or a KAP domain, users can add enhanced profile information. This includes:
    • User Image: Upload a profile picture or avatar.
    • Website: Provide a link to a personal or project website.
    • Social Media Links: Include links to Twitter, Discord, or other social media platforms.
    • Contact Information: Add an email address and possibly a GitHub link for those who wish to share their development work.
    • Bio: Write a brief biography or introduction about yourself or your project.

Benefits of Enhanced Accounts​

  1. Increased Visibility: Enhanced profiles with more information help in building a recognizable presence on the platform.
  2. Networking Opportunities: Detailed profiles facilitate better networking opportunities with other users and potential collaborators.
  3. Credibility and Trust: Providing additional information can help in establishing credibility and trust within the Koincity community.

Conclusion​

Setting up and customizing an account on Koincity is a straightforward process that significantly enhances the user experience. By connecting a Koinos-compatible wallet, selecting a unique username, and optionally upgrading to a nicknames account or a KAP domain, users can create a personalized and professional presence on the platform. This customization, along with the ability to add detailed profile information, enriches interactions and opportunities within the Koincity community.
