Accounts & Profile
How accounts work on DibDex — wallet-based authentication, username and profile setup, optional email for notifications, and profile editing.
Overview
Your DibDex account is tied to your cryptocurrency wallet. There are no passwords, no email/password sign-up, and no separate account creation step. The first time you connect and sign in with your wallet, your account is created automatically.
🔑 Your wallet is your identity. If you control the wallet, you control the account.
🔐 How Authentication Works
DibDex uses Sign In With Ethereum (SIWE) — an open standard for wallet-based authentication. When you sign in:
- The platform generates a unique message containing a one-time code
- You sign that message in your wallet (this is free — no gas fees, no transaction)
- The platform verifies your signature to prove you own the wallet address
- A secure session is created
🛡️ The sign-in signature proves you own the wallet address. It does not approve any spending or grant access to your funds.
👤 Onboarding
The first time you sign in, an onboarding flow walks you through setting up your profile:
Username
Choose a username that other users will see across the platform. Usernames:
- Must be unique across DibDex
- Are used in your profile URL (e.g.,
/users/yourname) - Can be changed later from your profile settings
Profile Picture
Upload a profile picture during onboarding or skip it for now. Your profile picture appears next to your username on your profile page, in comments, and anywhere your identity is displayed.
Email (Optional)
You can optionally add an email address to receive notifications from the platform. Adding an email is not required to use DibDex — it simply enables email-based alerts for activity relevant to your account.
When you add an email:
- A verification link is sent to the address you provide
- Click the link to confirm ownership (the link expires after 24 hours)
- Once verified, notifications are enabled for your account
You can add, change, or remove your email at any time from your profile settings.
✏️ Your Profile
After onboarding, you can view and manage your profile at any time by visiting your profile page. Click the edit button to update:
- Username — change your display name
- Profile picture — upload a new image
- Bio — add a short description about yourself
- Email — add, change, or remove your notification email
- Social links — connect your X (Twitter), Telegram, Discord, or other social accounts
💡 Your profile page is also where you'll find your portfolio, transaction history, and any action items that need your attention.
📂 Profile Tabs
Your profile page organizes your activity into tabs:
| Tab | What's There |
|---|---|
| Portfolio | Your token holdings, preorder positions, and activity summary |
| For You | Action items — claims, refunds, and other tasks that need your attention (only visible on your own profile) |
| Created | Tokens you have created |
| Following | Tokens and creators you follow |
| Events | Recent activity and transaction history |
⚡ When you have pending action items (unclaimed airdrops, available refunds, etc.), a lightning bolt indicator appears in the navigation to let you know.
🔗 Multiple Wallets
Each wallet address creates a separate DibDex account. If you connect with a different wallet, you will have a different account with its own username, profile, and activity history.
🛡️ Security
Because your account is controlled by your wallet:
- No password to steal — there is no password database that can be breached
- No password reset — if you lose access to your wallet, the standard wallet recovery process (seed phrase) applies
- No phishing risk for credentials — the sign-in message is a plaintext statement, not a transaction approval
- Session-based — your session expires, requiring you to sign in again periodically
