Your first 7 days on Inkryptus: a beginner's crypto guide
A practical walkthrough of your first week on Inkryptus: from account creation and first deposit to trading and staking.
This guide covers the first seven days on Inkryptus from downloading the app and creating a wallet to making a deposit, trading between crypto assets, and staking. Inkryptus is a simplified-custody crypto app on BNB Smart Chain designed for first-time crypto users. No seed phrase required. All wallet activity is recorded on-chain and verifiable on BscScan.
Day 1: how to download Inkryptus and create your account
Download the Inkryptus app to your phone and create an account with your email address and a password. When your account is created, the app automatically generates a unique wallet address for you on BNB Smart Chain.
This address is individual, no other user shares it. That wallet is a contract Inkryptus operates through a multisig arrangement, which means there is no key and no seed phrase for you to manage or lose. You can view your wallet address inside the app at any time and verify its activity independently on BscScan.
Day 2: what is KYC and do I need it on Inkryptus?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is an identity verification process. On Inkryptus, KYC is optional, you can use the platform without completing it. The difference is your monthly withdrawal limit:
| Account level | KYC required | Monthly withdrawal limit |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | No | US$500 |
| Silver | Yes | US$500,000 |
The KYC process takes a few minutes. You upload a government-issued ID, take a selfie, and answer a few questions. The app guides you through each step. Limits reset on the first day of each month at 00:00:01 UTC.
Day 3: how to make your first deposit
You have two options for funding your Inkryptus wallet:
Option A: Send crypto from an external wallet or exchange
-
Open the app and go to the Deposit function.
-
Select the asset you want to deposit, from the list the platform supports.
-
Copy your Inkryptus wallet address.
-
Send the asset from your external wallet.
Important: Only send assets via the BEP-20 network (BNB Smart Chain). Sending on a different network, such as Ethereum mainnet or Tron will result in loss of funds. Verify the network before confirming any external transfer.
Option B: Buy USDT with local currency (FIAT on-ramp)
-
Open the "Buy" screen inside the app, this is separate from the Buy/Sell trading screen.
-
Select your country, local currency, and payment method (credit card, bank transfer, or local options via Simplex).
-
Enter the amount. The app shows the exact USDT you will receive after Simplex fees.
-
Confirm. USDT is credited to your Inkryptus wallet immediately.
Either way, your funds land on your individual wallet address on BNB Smart Chain.
Day 4: how to trade crypto on Inkryptus
The Buy/Sell screen is the internal exchange. You trade between crypto assets using USDT as the central pair, every trade goes through USDT.
How a trade works:
-
Select the asset you want to buy.
-
Enter the amount in USDT.
-
The app shows the exchange rate and the flat 3 USDT (displayed in both USDT and INKY equivalent).
-
Confirm. The trade executes immediately. No gas fee. The platform has up to 24 hours to exchange it.
Available assets include INKY, USDT, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and more. Check the app for the current full list. Because USDT is the central pair, you cannot trade two non-USDT assets directly, for example, to go from BTCB to ETH, you first sell BTCB to USDT, then buy ETH with USDT.
Day 5: how does staking work on Inkryptus?
Staking means locking tokens in an on-chain smart contract on BNB Smart Chain. Users staking receive a proportional share of the daily on-chain emission their pool is paid from, capped at 20,000 INKY a day across every pool and programmed into the smart contract and split among all active stakers.
To start staking:
-
Go to the Staking section in the app.
-
Select an asset (INKY, USDT, or CAKE).
-
Choose a plan:
| Plan | Lock-up | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | None, withdraw anytime | Equivalent to 3 USDT |
| 12-month plan | 12 months | Equivalent to 3 USDT |
| 36-month plan | 36 months | Equivalent to 3 USDT |
Plans with longer lock-up periods have historically shown higher APR in the app. APR is variable, updated daily, and not guaranteed. Staking involves risk of loss.
Day 6: how to check your staking activity
Open the Staking section in the app to view your staked balance, current APR, and accumulated rewards. Rewards come from the fixed daily on-chain emission and accumulate daily based on your share of the total staking pool.
You can claim rewards to your wallet at any time, or put them back into staking manually if you choose. The exact APR for each asset and plan is shown in the app and updated daily. All staking operations are recorded on-chain and verifiable on BscScan.
