Sign up and sign in

After this, you'll have a Ballistic account and your primary wallet, ready to launch or trade.

Time needed: 2 min

You'll need:

A web browser. Ballistic runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
An invite link, plus a Google account or a Solana wallet to create the account with.

Step by step

Ballistic is invite-only. Open the invite link you were given (for example ballistic.app/@<code>) and create your account with one of these:

Google: sign in with your Google account. There's no password to set.
Wallet: Sign-In With Solana (SIWS), a standard where you prove you own a wallet by signing a message. No password, and nothing leaves your wallet.

Email and Telegram work for signing in to an account that already exists:

Email: enter your address and your password (at least 8 characters), then the 6-digit code we email you. The code expires after 10 minutes.
Telegram: the Ballistic bot sends you a one-time sign-in link in a Telegram chat. Open the link to finish signing in.

Your account needs a wallet to launch or trade. Ballistic creates one for you.

Open the Wallets page from the sidebar.
Ballistic generates your primary wallet on the first visit. You don't create it by hand.
Note the address. Your primary wallet is your deployer: the wallet that creates your tokens on-chain.

Link a second sign-in method so you're not locked out if you lose access to the first, then turn on two-factor authentication.

Open your account settings.
Link another method (email, Google, Telegram or wallet) to the same account.
Turn on 2FA (two-factor authentication). Ballistic uses an authenticator app with TOTP, a rotating 6-digit code.
Save your backup codes somewhere safe. They get you back in if you lose your authenticator device.

Ballistic won't let you remove your last remaining sign-in method, so you can't lock yourself out of your own account.

Open the Wallets page. You should see your primary wallet with its address and a zero balance, ready to fund.
