### 4. Create Your PIN

Set a **6-digit PIN** to secure your wallet. This PIN is required when approving transactions such as Buy, Sell, Split, Merge, and Redeem.

### 5. Confirm Signature

A signature request will appear to verify wallet ownership. Review the message and click **Confirm** to proceed. This does not cost any fees; it simply proves you control the wallet.
