# Account Setup

Setting up an account on Spectre is permissionless and private. There is no registration form, email requirement, or KYC process.

<Warning>**Testing Phase Only**: This account setup method (entering private keys) is temporary for the current testing phase. The dedicated **Arcane Wallet Extension**, which handles key management securely without direct exposure, is currently in development.</Warning>

## Steps

1. **Start Setup**: Click the "Setup Account" button to begin the onboarding process.

2. **Authenticate**: Enter your Private Key. This is used strictly locally to derive your unique stealth identity.

Your "Account" is essentially a cryptographic identity derived from your key, existing only in memory and on the orderbook, with no on-chain link to your real-world identity.
