# Account Setup

Byreal Perp uses Privy to manage your wallet. You don't need to install a browser extension or manage seed phrases — Privy creates a secure, non-custodial wallet for you behind the scenes.

## Option 1: Sign Up with Social Account (No Wallet Needed)

If you don't have a crypto wallet, you can create a Byreal account using:

* Google — Sign in with your Google account
* Email — Enter your email and verify with a one-time code
* Bybit Account — Link your existing Bybit account directly

Privy will automatically create a Solana wallet for you. This wallet is fully yours — Byreal cannot access your private keys.

**How It Works**

* Click Sign Up or Connect on Byreal
* Choose Google, Email, or Bybit
* Complete the verification (Google OAuth / email code / Bybit auth)
* Your Privy wallet is created! You're now ready to deposit and trade perpetuals on Byreal

## Option 2: Connect an Existing Solana Wallet

If you already have a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, etc.), you can connect it to create your Privy account:

* Click Connect Wallet on Byreal
* Select your wallet provider
* Approve the connection in your wallet
* Privy links your existing wallet to your Byreal account

Your existing wallet becomes the primary wallet for deposits and withdrawals.
