Getting started

Creating an account

Sign up with email or Google, verify your email, and add a passkey.

Your Perps Fund account is free to create and takes a minute. You sign up, verify your email, and you are ready to browse challenges. You do not add any funds to create an account or explore the platform: you only pay when you buy a challenge.

New here? Start with What is Perps Fund for the concept, then come back to this page to sign up.

Sign up with email

Enter a username, an email, and a password on the sign-up page. Your username is your public handle, the name other traders see on your profile and the leaderboard, and you can change it later in Settings.

FieldWhat it is
UsernameYour public @handle. Changeable later, rate-limited to prevent churn.
EmailWhere your verification link and account emails are sent.
PasswordChecked against a basic strength policy (a sensible minimum length, no obvious or reused-identity passwords).

Or continue with Google

Where Google sign-in is enabled, you can continue with Google instead of setting a password. A Google account arrives already verified, so it skips the email-verification step below. If you do not see a Google button, that option is not enabled and you sign up with email.

Verify your email

After you sign up with email, we send a verification link to your address. Open it to verify your account. If the link expires, you can request a fresh one.

Verify before you set up payouts

Email verification is required before you can add or change a withdrawal wallet, so verify before you set up withdrawals. Everything else, including browsing and buying a challenge, works right away.

Add a passkey (optional)

A passkey lets you sign in and clear security step-ups with your device (Face ID, a fingerprint, or a hardware key) instead of a code. It is optional, and you can add one any time from Securing your account.
