# Account Setup

LandingNet uses a wallet-based sign-in with three steps: connect, approve builder fees, and approve the exchange. The whole process takes about a minute.

## Step 1: Connect & Sign In

1. Click **"Connect Wallet"** in the top-right corner
2. Select your wallet provider (MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect, etc.)
3. Approve the connection in your wallet extension
4. Sign the verification message that appears:

> "By signing this message, you prove that you are the owner of the connected wallet."

{% hint style="info" %}
This signature is **free** -- no gas required. It simply proves you own the wallet. No passwords, no account creation.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Approve Builder Fees

Immediately after signing in for the first time, a modal appears asking you to approve builder fees. These are the trading execution fees that LandingNet charges on each trade (see [Fees & Limits](/doc/documentation/fees-and-limits.md)).

The modal shows the **max fee rate** and **builder address**. Click **"Approve Builder Fees"** and sign the EIP-712 message in your wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This step is **mandatory**. You cannot use LandingNet without approving builder fees. The modal will remain until you sign.
{% endhint %}

This is a one-time, free signature that caps the maximum fee LandingNet can charge per trade.

## Step 3: Approve Exchange

After builder fees, you're asked to authorize LandingNet to trade on your Hyperliquid subaccount.

### Choose a subaccount name

* The default is **"Landingnet"**
* If a "Landingnet" subaccount already exists on your Hyperliquid account, it is auto-selected
* You can type a different name to create a new subaccount
* You can only reuse an existing subaccount if it is named "Landingnet"

{% hint style="warning" %}
To use LandingNet with a sub-account (non-custodial mode), Hyperliquid requires your wallet to have reached a trading volume of at least $100k. (<https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/sub-accounts>)
{% endhint %}

### Sign the approval

Click **"Approve Exchange"** and sign the EIP-712 `ApproveAgent` message. This grants LandingNet's agent trade-only permissions on your chosen subaccount.

{% hint style="info" %}
This step **can be skipped** and completed later from the Dashboard. Unlike builder fees, it is not blocking. But your bots won't trade until it's done.
{% endhint %}

The agent can only execute trades on the approved subaccount. It **cannot** withdraw funds or access your master account. You can revoke access at any time from the Dashboard.

## Telegram

When your account has been created you can setup Telegram notification by follow the section [Telegram](/doc/documentation/integrations/telegram.md)

## Troubleshooting

**Wallet not appearing?** Make sure your browser extension is installed, unlocked, and the site is allowed to connect.

**Signature failed?** Click "Try Again". You can re-sign at any time without consequences.

**Switched wallets?** LandingNet detects wallet changes automatically and logs you out.
