How to Create an IOST Mainnet Account for Free

Start the Process:

Visit the IOST account official site and proceed with setting the account name. You can either choose the one you like or allow the system to generate one that hasn’t been registered yet randomly.

Verification and Progression

Upon completing the necessary human verification, proceed by clicking “Next” to move forward with the IOST mainnet account creation procedure.

Essential Account Details

Following successful verification, users will be provided with an allocated account name, public key, and private key. It is imperative to securely save and back up the private key to ensure access to the account.

Access to Supporting Wallets

To unlock the potential of the IOST mainnet account, choose wallets that are tailored to IOST’s foundational technology. Leading options include iWallet Pro, TokenPocket, BitKeep, and Citadel. By utilizing the private key, users can seamlessly log into these platforms.
