Key Takeaways
Account creation is simple and flexible. Choose from wallet connection, email, or social sign-in based on what works best for you. If you don't have a crypto wallet, email or social sign-in will create one for you automatically through Web3Auth.
No personal information is required for basic platform use. KYC is only needed when paying with credit cards (handled by Stripe) or when requesting physical delivery of commodities at maturity.
Your privacy is protected. AuResources stores only what's necessary for platform functionality and never has access to your private keys or payment details.
