Create Account

Create a HashNut account by deploying a smart contract that will manage your payments and funds.

Overview​

Account creation deploys a smart contract on the blockchain that:

  • Manages your payment address pool
  • Receives customer payments
  • Holds funds until withdrawal
  • Calculates and deducts platform fees

Prerequisites​

  • Cryptocurrency wallet (MetaMask for EVM, TronLink for TRON)
  • Sufficient balance for gas fees
  • Network connection to your chosen blockchain

Account Creation Process​

Step 1: Access Dashboard​

  1. Visit HashNut Dashboard
  2. Click "Connect Wallet"
  3. Select your wallet (MetaMask or TronLink)
  4. Approve connection

Step 2: Initiate Account Creation​

  1. Navigate to "Accounts" or "Wallets" section
  2. Click "Create Account" or "New Account"
  3. Enter account name/alias (optional but recommended)
  4. Configure withdrawal address (optional - can set later)

Step 3: Configure Account​

Step 4: Sign Deployment Transaction​

  1. Review transaction details:
    • Network/Chain
    • Gas fee estimate
    • Contract address (will be generated)
  2. Approve transaction in your wallet
  3. Wait for blockchain confirmation

Important:

  • ⚠️ Gas fees apply (paid from your wallet)
  • ⚠️ Transaction cannot be cancelled once signed
  • ✅ Contract address is deterministic and verifiable

Step 5: Account Activation​

Once the transaction is confirmed:

  • ✅ Account is automatically activated
  • ✅ Contract address is assigned
  • ✅ Account appears in your dashboard
  • ✅ Ready to create address pools and orders

Account Types​

DeFi Mode Account​

Smart Contract-Based:

  • Funds held in smart contract
  • Maximum security and decentralization

Account Configuration​

Withdrawal Address​

Set the address where funds will be withdrawn:

  • EVM Chains: 0x... format (42 characters)
  • TRON: T... format (34 characters)

Important:

  • ⚠️ Verify address before setting
  • ⚠️ Wrong address = lost funds
  • ✅ Can be updated later (requires transaction)

Account Aliasing​

Give your account a friendly name:

  • Easier identification in dashboard
  • Multiple accounts support
  • No on-chain storage (UI only)

Multi-Chain Accounts​

Important: Each chain requires a separate account deployment.
