Getting started
Signature Chain requires you have a decentralized Waves Blockchain account, you can create one directly from our Web Application or by using waves.exchange
Using a decentralized Web Application means that no one except you has access to your account's private information, such as your Private Key and Secret Seed. It is very important to store this information right away when creating a new account and to never share it with anyone. No one should ever ask you for this information, not even anyone from our team.
Losing your private data will result in the loss of your account and all tokens or credits associated with it, the Signature Chain team won't have any power to retrieve it.
A Waves account is simply a secret seed, which is a string of 15 words, from there an asymetric Key Pair is calculated, giving you a Private Key and a Public Key. The Public Key generates your Waves Account address.
