What is Young Platform Step and how does it work? The complete guide

What is Young Platform Step and how does it work? Discover the app that lets you learn all about the crypto world by playing!

With Young Platform Step you can discover what the crypto world is and how it works in the easiest and most fun way: collect experience points and level up to get the YNG token! 

But what is it? It’s the token of the Young Platform ecosystem, with real value in the market. On Step you can set aside your first YNG tokens and get lots of free resources to learn the basics of the crypto world, step by step!

How does a blockchain work? What is Bitcoin for? What are NFTs? Step gets down to business and answers all your questions, simply and clearly. But it doesn’t end there! Once you’ve got your first YNGs, you can transfer them to the Young Platform exchange where you can take advantage of the crypto industry’s leading services with an extra edge. So find out what Young Platform Step is and how it works and all the games available!

What games are there on Step?

There are several features on the app to gain experience points (XP) and level up. Let’s see what each Young Platform Step game is and how it works:

1. Quests

In the Step Home, you can find Quests related to each feature, each with a different colour. Quests allow you to earn experience points every day: check the deadline, and use the features to complete them and redeem XP.

2. Claim

Young Platform Step counts all your steps (if connected to Google Fit or Health). In the ‘Step’ section, with the ‘Claim’ button, you can redeem and accumulate them to participate in the step quests in the Home (you recognise them because they are the ones in yellow). The fuchsia quests, on the other hand, do not count steps but all the times you redeem them. Remember to redeem the steps every time you accumulate 4,000 steps, otherwise the count will stop.

3. Rankings 

In the ‘Steps’ section of the app you will find step rankings! The challenge is to beat other users in the community at who can accumulate the most steps in an interval of time. You can join an existing ranking or create one: each one has a limited duration and number of places. To participate, you have to pay a small share of your YNG and the sum of the shares of all participants will be distributed to the winners. Furthermore, the more rankings you win, the more you progress in the blue quests.

4. Quizzes

On Young Platform Step, in the Education section, you can learn everything about the crypto world, from the basics to the more advanced aspects thanks to specific Young Platform Academy articles divided into 6 categories:

  • Blockchain to learn what the underlying cryptocurrency technology is and how it works;
  • Cryptoeconomics to discover the specific features and characteristics of the crypto economy;
  • Cryptocurrencies to delve into which are the main ones on the market, from their tokenomics to their uses; 
  • Crypto Heroes to get up close and personal with the protagonists of the crypto world, from Vitalik Buterin to the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto;
  • Easy Economics to explore basic economic concepts;
  • Trading to learn about the theory and practice of this activity.

But how does it work and what is Education on Young Platform Step? Simple: each article is associated with a quiz that allows you to gain XP if you guess the correct answers. NB: To take the quiz, you have to spend one life and are given 5 lives by default. 

When you run out of lives, you can recover them by waiting for the indicated time, or by watching one of the advertising videos, or even with the Unlimited lives boost (explained below).

Step is also your one-stop shop for the latest news and updates from the crypto world, selected for you day by day directly from the Young Platform Blog.

4. Up&Down

In the Up&Down section you can try to guess whether the price of a crypto will go down (down) or up (up) by choosing a time interval between 3, 6 or 12 hours. 

Every time you place a forecast you consume a life, like for Quizzes.

For each right forecast you gain XP, the wider the time interval you choose, the greater the number of XP. 

Step counts all your correct forecasts advancing in the green quests. Put your market knowledge to the test!

What is Unlimited Lives and how does it work?

On Young Platform Step the Unlimited Lives is the life boost that allows you not to lose any lives for 1 hour. You can then use it to do more than 5 Quizzes or more than 5 Forecasts in a row. 

To get it, just go to the top bar where the lives icon is, click on it and select ‘Get unlimited lives’ to buy it for 1YNG.

Alternatively, you can obtain it upon reaching certain Levels: check when you’ll receive Unlimited lives by selecting the Level icon in the top bar and clicking on ‘Show Levels’.

Once you have the boost, you have to redeem it to activate it and use it.

The Marketplace

On Young Platform Step you can also find the Marketplace, which allows you to receive cashback in YNG of up to 20% on purchases from selected shops such as Nike, Guess or Decathlon. 

The Profile

Your progress is easily visible in the top bar of the app, but if you enter your Profile it’s a whole different story. Your Level, Available Lives, YNG received and XP accumulated are easily viewable, and over time your personal section will become more and more detailed and full of victories. Choose from the Avatars available to customise your profile!

How to transfer YNG to Young Platform

Here’s what Step is and how it works: by playing and levelling up you get your first YNGs, which will accompany you into the real crypto market.

So, once you’ve completed your levels and obtained the minimum amount of YNG, you can transfer them to the Young Platform app and get benefits by joining Clubs or use them for buying and selling. Young Platform is in fact an exchange where you can buy and sell major cryptocurrencies. To transfer YNG from Step to the exchange you need to link the two accounts, complete a minimum deposit of 20 Euro and a minimum crypto trade of 20 Euro. The next day you can create a gift card from Step and send the tokens to Young Platform. You can find the process explained in detail here.

Transfer YNG from Step to Young Platform

YNG token transfer is instant and free with Gift Cards!

To transfer the YNGs obtained with Step to Young Platform, simply create a Gift Card to be redeemed on the exchange.

Gift Card creation and redemption are immediate, so you will have your tokens immediately available in your wallet balance, with no waiting time.

How to transfer YNG?

First of all, consider the amounts allowed:

  • The minimum amount for each transfer is 5 YNG
  • The maximum amount per transfer is YNG 125 in 30 days.

If it is your first transfer, follow these steps on Young Platform, otherwise skip to the operations to do on Step.

Start with Young Platform:

  • Create an account and verify your identity;
  • Go to the Profile, under ‘Connections’ link your Step account;
  • Make a minimum deposit of €20 (in Euros);
  • Make a first cryptocurrency purchase, for a minimum amount of €20; 
  • After completing these mandatory steps, it will be possible to request the first transfer of YNGs.

Now back to Step:

  • Log in to Step and click on your YNG balance visible in the top bar;
  • Select ‘Transfer’;
  • Continue with the procedure;
  • Choose the amount of YNG to be transferred;
  • Confirm sending;
  • Select ‘Open Young Platform’ to redeem the Gift Card automatically;
  • You will immediately receive the tokens on the Exchange Wallet

If you do not click on ‘Open Young Platform’ or do not redeem the gift card immediately, you can do so later manually:

  • Log in to Step and click on your YNG balance visible in the top bar;
  • Select ‘Transfer’;
  • Under ‘Your Gift Cards’ click on the last one created
  • Press ‘Redeem on Young Platform’.

Finally, remember that it is only possible to transfer YNG from one Step account and only to a linked Young Platform account.

Young Platform Step: invite friends and get rewards

refer friends step

The guide to inviting your friends on Young Platform Step and getting rewards

Did you know that Young Platform Step has a referral program? Invite friends and acquaintances to the app and receive rewards for helping to expand the beautiful Step community. Here’s everything you need to know!

How to invite friends to Step?

Start on the Step Home:

  • From the menu, on the top right, got to the Profile section
  • Tap on the ‘Invite your friends’ banner:
  • Press the ‘Invite’ button;
  • An explanation page will open, where you will then find the ongoing and completed invitations;
  • Press the ‘Invite your friends’ button to proceed;
  • Choose how to send the invitation message and to whom;
  • Once you have sent the link to download Step, you can check the status of the invitation on the invitation page, as indicated above;
  • The invited friend will have to download Step, sign up and complete the Welcome Tutorial;
  • After that the Invitation will be completed and you will receive 1YNG.

Invite friends: how to get the rewards

On Young Platform Step, the invite friends feature requires some extra care in order to secure the rewards. Indeed, you can only receive YNG if the invitee successfully completes the obligatory actions, but some details are also up to you.

Here are two important points:

  1. Before you start, make sure you have updated Step to the latest version available on the Store
  2. Tell your friend to click on the invitation link both to download Step from the store and after installing it, before signing up.

Important: If the invitee does not click on the invitation link again after the installation of Step, the invitation will not be detected and consequently you will not receive the reward!

How to ensure that the link was used for signup? 

If the invitee has signed up via the link, the invitation will appear pending. If, on the other hand, it does not appear in the list within the app, it means that they did not use the link correctly.

What to do if the invitee has signed up, but the invitation does not appear in your history?

If you can, stop your friend so that they do not accumulate unnecessary experience on the app. In any case, send them the link again, tell them to follow it and sign up with a different email. 

When the invitation appears as pending, the invitee can complete the welcome tutorial and consequently the Invitation will be marked as completed and you will get your YNG.

How come the invitee signs up correctly but the invitation is not tracked anyway? 

If these indications do not work, the only explanation is the following: some devices do not support invitation tracking, e.g. Android devices that do not support Play Services or have a custom ROM. 

That’s all for this guide: log in to Young Platform Step now and invite your friends to share your successes!

Step Quests: how do they work?

Step Quests are a series of objectives to challenge yourself and earn experience points (XP) so you can level up

You can find the Quests in the Hub section, under “Goals”.

They all generally have the same basic mechanism: progress is tracked automatically based on the actions you take on the app, and they all have a deadline after which progress is reset.

Once 100% complete, tap on the button to redeem XPs.

Let’s now go over the different types of Quests!

Collect XP by walking

The Steps, Claims and Rankings quests allow you to gain XPs by walking. The great thing is that the same steps that move you up the Rankings help you progress through the quests and vice versa. Actions are in fact cumulative between quests: you can manage the claims you make to complete as many quests as possible in combination!

Steps

To complete this type of quest, you must make the claim of the indicated amount of steps.

Example: To complete the first 5000 step quest, you can either make claims of 4000 steps+1000 steps or you can make 4 claims of 1500 steps and so on. It is recommended to always make claims after 1500 steps in order to avoid recalculations that could prevent redemption.

20,000 steps in less than a day is not for everyone. Will you make it?

Claims

To complete this type of quest, you must tap the claim button as many times as indicated.

Can you really make 10 claims in 7 hours? We’ll see!

Rankings

The colour of the sky is associated with quests on the Rankings: the more you win, the more XP you gain.

What can we say, if you win five in four days you will be our Hero!

Collect XP with Up&Down

Walking is so exhausting! Let’s take a break and check the markets.

With the Forecast quests you can really put your predictive skills to good use: if you are lucky or an expert in technical analysis, you will climb the levels in no time.

It doesn’t matter what currency, it doesn’t matter how you get your forecasts right, as long as you win, Step gives you more XP!

These are all the quests on Step: start now and challenge your limits!

Up&Down: what it is and how it works

Up&Down on Step

With the ‘Up&Down’ game on Young Platform Step you can make forecasts on the cryptocurrency market without spending a penny

With Young Platform Step you learn so much more than theory! You also have the opportunity to test your skills on the market without actually having to buy every time. 

So choose a cryptocurrency and examine its trend: will the price go up or down? Make your choice, wait for it and if you are right, you receive experience points (XP) to level up. 

Discover the 3 steps to play Up&Down on Step!

Choose a cryptocurrency

You have at your disposal some of the most interesting coins on the market:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Ripple (XRP)
  • Solana (SOL)

Choose between UP and DOWN

Once you have chosen a currency, you can consult its market data in detail: the current price and the percentage change in price over 24h are previewed. 

Then there is the linear or candlestick chart, over no less than 5 periods: 6 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year.

As you scroll down you will see the Stats, which will show your wins on that coin, and how the rest of the community is currently forecasting, i.e. the percentage of UP or DOWN predictions currently being made.

You can use this information in two ways: you can either blindly follow your mates hoping that their predictions are accurate (beware of the herding effect) or you can consider it just one of several confirmations needed to decide the trend.

In any case, you have nothing to lose: you can try as many times as you want to hone your instincts, and if the going gets tough, start studying!

Academy is packed with material on technical analysis used by traders. It doesn’t hurt to keep up with the news either: our Blog is perfect for staying on the pulse every day about the events that move the cryptocurrency market.

Make the forecast

Have you decided whether the crypto will go UP or DOWN?

Press one of the two buttons, then choose the duration. The duration indicates after how long the prediction will expire, which is the same time you will see whether the coin went UP or DOWN.

Example: It is 9 a.m. and BTC is at 20,000. I choose UP and select 3 hours. If at 12 noon BTC is worth more than €20,000, I win!

By tapping the ‘Forecast’ button and confirming, you will lose a life and the prediction will begin.

If you run out of lives you can wait for them to recharge, or watch a video advertisement if available, or purchase Unlimited Lives. With unlimited lives you can play both Quizzes and Up&Down freely without using up lives for 1 hour.

Time’s up! A notification will tell you the outcome of the prediction: if you have won, you will receive a number of experience points that varies according to the selected Duration. If the price did not change instead or if it went against your expectations, you will not receive XP.

Before you run off to play, remember: you can only make 2 predictions at the same time.

All clear, it’s time to discover Up&Down on Step!

The Moneybox remains active, as does the associated recurring purchase. Recurring purchases will restart at the set frequency.

If you had a Moneybox without an associated recurring purchase, the total balance of the Moneybox was transferred to the Spot Wallet of the respective cryptocurrency and the Moneybox was closed.

2 to 5.

How do I decide the percentages to be allocated to each cryptocurrency in the Bespoke or Curated bundles?

From the relevant Moneybox page, deactivate the recurring purchase, then go to the Moneybox settings by clicking on the wheel icon and confirm deletion.

What happens if I close a Moneybox?

The cryptocurrencies contained in the Moneybox will be moved to the Spot Wallet. They will neither be sold nor converted.

Is recurring purchase activation compulsory?

Activation is automatic when the Moneybox is created, but you can deactivate it whenever you wish. Simply go to the specific Moneybox page and click on the tick next to ‘Recurring Purchase’ and confirm to deactivate it.

What is the difference between Moneyboxes and recurring purchase?

Recurring purchase is the ability to automate a purchase of any cryptocurrency or Moneybox, regularly. While the Moneybox is simply the section in which to store cryptocurrencies without trading them, recurring purchase is the functionality that allows you to top-up a Moneybox constantly. However, recurring purchases can also be set up on the Spot Wallet.

What is the difference between Spot Wallet and Moneyboxes?

From the Moneybox you cannot sell cryptocurrencies: you must first move them to the Spot Wallet.

Furthermore, in the Spot Wallet it is not possible to create groups of cryptocurrencies and buy them together automatically following their statistics.

What is the difference between the Single Coin Moneybox and the old Moneyboxes?

There are no substantial differences: both allow you to create a Moneybox containing a single cryptocurrency. 

The changes applied since the 4 May 2023 update consist of the addition of more supported cryptocurrencies and the improvement of the overall experience.

Quick guide to recurring purchases

Quick guide to crypto recurring purchases

Recurring purchases allow you to recur a Bitcoin or Ethereum buy automatically and on a regular basis. Find out why it can be useful and how to activate it!

In this guide, you will learn how to activate the recurring purchase functionality on Young Platform, and choose the option that suits you. But first of all, what is a recurring crypto purchase? It is a feature that makes crypto purchases automatic. Once you set up a recurring purchase, the Young Platform app will buy your chosen cryptos for you, in the amount and frequency determined by you. This way, you won’t have to do it manually. 

Why set up a recurring purchase? 

Beyond convenience, why is it be useful to set up a recurring purchase? Often, recurring purchases is chosen by those who don’t feel like as confident as experienced trader ready to intercept the best time to buy. By setting up a recurring purchase, you buy crypto consistently, regardless of price changes. Whether the price is at its highs or its lows! Generally buying when prices are high is not very profitable, so why is the practice of recurring purchases used? Some people choose to buy on a regular basis to try to minimise price volatility. For example, say you buy BTC on a monthly basis, albeit at different prices. By the end of the year, you will have bought BTC at the yearly average price. All without the stress of having to interpret charts. In other words, with recurring purchases you are not trying to guess the right time to buy.

Recurring purchases are also a feature used to avoid buying crypto impulsively, avoiding getting caught up in excessive enthusiasm or incurable defeatism. Ever heard of behavioural finance? With recurring buying you can keep your cool during even the worst bear markets. 

How do I activate a recurring purchase? 

You can set up a recurring purchase directly on the Young Platform app, in the Spot Wallet section of your chosen cryptocurrency (on Young Platform you can set up a recurring buy of Bitcoin or Ether), or in the Money Box section of your chosen cryptocurrency. If you use the web platform, start from the trading panel on the Home Page. 

Choose a frequency option:

  1. Weekly;
  2. Biweekly;
  3. Monthly.

Select a payment method by which you will use for your crypto recurring purchase:

  1. Euro balance (free of charge);
  2. A debit or credit card (with fees);
  3. Satispay (with fees).

You can activate it on two type of wallets:

  1. Moneybox;
  2. Spot Wallet.

That’s right: it is possible to set up a recurring purchase to the Spot Wallet but also to the Young Platform Moneybox.

We prepared a tutorial for each one!

Recurring Purchase on the Spot Wallet

The Spot Wallet is what you use to trade and transfer in the short term.

The recurring purchase on the Moneybox

The Moneybox allows you to leave your crypto untouched that you want to keep aside for the medium to long term. But for what purpose?

The Moneybox works just like a real piggy bank. You can store your cryptocurrencies that you don’t want to allocate to your more frequent buying and selling activities. 

6 ways to make a deposit on Young Platform and get started with crypto

Buying cryptocurrencies on Young Platform: how to deposit euros

Want to buy cryptocurrencies on Young Platform? The first step is to top up your Wallet. Here are all the available deposit methods!

Want to buy cryptocurrencies but don’t know where to start? The first step is to deposit euros on the Young Platform exchange. Once you have topped up your Young Platform account, you will be able to trade euros for all cryptocurrencies listed on the exchange. However, before topping up, make sure that you have gone through the identity verification process. There are several deposit methods available. To buy cryptocurrencies on Young Platform, you can deposit money via bank transfer, through credit or debit cards, or using a gift card. Choose the deposit method you prefer and start your journey in the world of crypto too!

Where to start?

For all the deposit methods we will go over in this article, the starting point is the same!

From the Home or Wallet section, click on “Deposit”. Once you have selected Euro, you will see all available deposit methods! For cryptocurrency deposits, read this guide.

1. Deposit by bank transfer

The first method we see in this guide on how to deposit at Young Platform, is by bank transfer. Once you have chosen this method, we are assuming you will proceed by SEPA transfer from a foreign (non italian) bank account.

Attention! Before proceeding, you will be asked to enter the amount of money you intend to deposit, at which point a request will be made that must be confirmed. In addition, it is mandatory to enter the reference number for the transfer.

The maximum amount you can deposit by bank transfer depends on your Young Platform account level. The minimum amount you can deposit by bank transfer is 20€. The level of your account is determined by the level of verification of your profile, particularly regarding the origin of the funds you intend to deposit.

Below are the deposit limits per verification level of your account.

  1. The first level is unlocked by completing identity verification. Single transaction limit: €4,000, annual limit €25,000.
  2. To access the second level, it is necessary to provide a bank statement, utility bill, or certificate of residence issued by your municipality. Single transaction limit €8,000, annual limit €50,000.
  3. To join level three, a questionnaire must be completed and a tax return provided. Single transaction limit 30,000€, annual limit 200,000€.
  4. A recorded interview is required to access the fourth level. Single transaction limit €60,000, annual limit €200,000.

For further information on identity verification levels, please contact [email protected]

Once you have selected the method by which you wish to make the transfer, you will be able to view Young Platform’s bank details.

The account from which you make the deposit must be in your name or co-owned by you and must match exactly the name under which you registered with Young Platform. Ordinary SEPA transfers from foreign (non Italian) accounts should take between 2 and 5 working days.

The first time you add a card as a payment method, a small transaction will be processed through which you will be charged a few cents. This is a standard procedure to verify the card; the cents will be credited back to you automatically as soon as the procedure is successful.

Unlike bank transfers, depositing by card is immediate, so you should have received the amount you intended to deposit. Visa and Mastercard fees of 2.2% + € 0.25 apply to this type of deposit. Also for this deposit method, the card you intend to use must be in your name.

5. Deposit with Young Cash voucher (if available in your country)

Transfer your crypto to Young Platform

How to transfer crypto to Young Platform: the complete guide

Want to transfer Ethereum and your other cryptocurrencies to Young Platform? Here is the complete guide!

If you want to transfer Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies from external wallets or other exchanges to Young Platform, read this step-by-step guide!

1. Select the crypto you intend to deposit

The first step in making a crypto deposit on Young Platform is to select the cryptocurrency you wish to deposit. To select it, simply go to the ‘Wallet’ section of the Young Platform app or web platform and click on the ‘Deposit’ button.

For this guide, we will use Ethereum as an example. In case you need to deposit a different cryptocurrency on Young Platform, don’t worry! The procedure remains the same, with one small addition. In some cases, as explained in the following paragraphs, you will have to add an extra code, the memo.

2. Copy your wallet address

Once you have selected the crypto you wish to deposit, click on the deposit button. You will then see a similar screen to the one below. Let’s use Ethereum as an example. 

The alphanumeric code you see when accessing this section in person is the address of your Ethereum crypto wallet on the Young Platform exchange

What is the wallet address? It is a code of 26-35 alphanumeric characters, needed to send crypto to a wallet. The wallet address has a similar function to the IBAN code for a bank account. It must therefore be communicated to the sender in order to receive cryptocurrencies. 

To transfer your Ether from a self-custody wallet or another exchange, simply send the amount of ETH you want to this address. If you are using the mobile version of your wallet, you can also scan the QR code you see above for the wallet address. 

Use the address found on ‘Deposit Ethereum’ only to send ETH. Each cryptocurrency has a specific network and wallet address. Sending for example AVAX, the crypto on the Avalanche blockchain, to your Ethereum address would result in the loss of the amount sent. 

3. Deposit your crypto from a self-custody wallet

Let’s see how to transfer crypto to Young Platform from self-custody wallets, i.e. wallets whose private key you manage, such as Metamask. If you are not familiar with Metamask, it is a browser extension and open-source crypto wallet that allows users to interact with Dapps. This wallet, which was initially created to carry out transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, now allows interaction with all the most popular blockchains that are compatible with it. It is possible to use Metamask from both your desktop through the browser extension, and from smartphones through the app. 

Let’s now move on to the Metamask browser extension. To transfer Ethereum from Metamask select the “Main Ethereum Network” from the drop-down list in the top right-hand corner. Then click on the “Send” button

Once you have selected that you want to send the funds, simply paste the address copied above and continue. 

How to past your wallet address on Metamask

The next step to transfer Ethereum on Young Platform is to enter the amount of Ether you want to deposit. Please note that in order to process a transaction on blockchain, you need to pay gas fees. They are fees that are paid to validators by those who wish to make a transaction on blockchain, to ensure that transactions take place securely on the network. So, make sure you have the necessary amount of Ether on Metamask to pay these gas fees or the transaction cannot be processed. You can see the real-time gas fees. The more congested the Ethereum blockchain is, the higher the fees will be. In addition, the amount of gas fees you pay will be directly proportional to how fast you want the transaction you send to be. You can choose the type of transaction by clicking on the ‘edit’ button inside the Metamask browser extension before confirming the transaction. For this type of transaction, which does not require high speed, there is a tendency to try and save on gas fees.

How to enter the amount you want to deposit on Young Platform via Metamask

Once you have entered the amount you intend to deposit into Young Platform, all you have to do is click the ‘Next’ button. Then this screen will open, where you can see the amount of gas fees you will have to pay to process the transaction and the total amount of cryptos you will ‘spend’. Once confirmed, the transaction will be processed. 

How to confirm the transaction on Metamask

Within a few minutes, you should receive the amount of crypto sent from your self-custody wallet. If the blockchain network is congested, you may experience delays for crypto deposits. In that case, you may have to wait until the transaction is confirmed. Should the crypto not be credited to your Young Platform account, request a ticket from the app or web platform.

4. Deposit your crypto from another exchange

To deposit crypto from another exchange, the process depends on the platform. In most cases, all you need to do is go to the “withdraw” section of your crypto wallet and paste in the address you copied above. One piece of advice we can give you is to read the guides of the exchange you intend to use to withdraw your funds. You can find these guides easily on Google by typing ‘crypto withdrawal (name of the exchange)’. For the Binance exchange for example, just go to the ‘Wallet’ section, select ‘Withdraw cryptocurrency’ and choose the crypto you want to withdraw.

Crypto withdrawal from Binance

Then paste in the address of your Young Platform wallet and select the network you wish to use. Caution! Always select the main network related to the crypto you want to deposit. By network we mean the blockchain on which each crypto is developed. For example, if you want to deposit the ETH crypto on Young Platform’s exchange, select the Ethereum network (ERC 20). If you are unsure which network is correct, ask for help in our Discord channel or contact support. If you send your cryptos to the wrong network you run the risk of losing them! 

5. What is the memo?

For some cryptocurrencies, for example XRP, the crypto on Ripple’s blockchain, the memo must also be entered when sending a transaction. The memo or tag is a unique identifier assigned to each account to identify a deposit and credit it correctly to the relevant wallet.  When you select the crypto you want to deposit and are given the address to send it to by the app or web platform, you will find the memo if you need it.

6. Deposit finalisation

Once the transaction is confirmed, your crypto deposit on Young Platform should be processed within a timeframe of a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the congestion and speed of the network you are using. To ensure that your funds have arrived on the Young Platform exchange, visit the Wallet section of your app or Web Platform and check the balance of the crypto you have deposited. If you do not receive your crypto even after hours, you can talk to Support by opening a ticket or ask for help, or ask on our Discord server.

We recommend operating from a desktop throughout the procedure for the best experience.

Creating an Unstoppable account is really simple. From the homepage, click at the top right on Sign up/Log in.

In this paragraph you will find the aspects to be evaluated when choosing a Web3 domain name.

Once you have chosen the domain, add it to the basket and select a method of payment.

We recommend following the official guide especially if you want to pay in cryptocurrencies.

When you have made your purchase, you will find your new domain under ‘Account’, in ‘My Domains’.

NB: you only have 90 days from the time of redemption to use the credit.

4. Mint your Domain

The domain is now yours, but it is not yet registered on the blockchain.

For this step, you must have a compatible wallet with which to associate your new Domain.

You can do it whenever you want, so take your time. Just know that until it is registered on blockchain, it is not universally verifiable that it is yours.

4a. Prepare your Wallet (for example: MetaMask)

If you do not yet have a Wallet Metamask or equivalent, here is how to create one:

  1. Go to https://metamask.io/download/
  2. Click on ‘Install MetaMask for (browser)’.
  3. Click on ‘Add to (browser)’.

  6. Click on ‘I accept’.
  7. Set a password, check the box to accept the Terms of Use and click ‘Create’.
  8. Click ‘Next’ and then ‘Click here to reveal the secret words’.
  9. Write the secret phrase (seed phrase) on paper now and keep it in a safe place. Click on ‘Next’.
  10. Select the words of the secret phrase in the correct order and click ‘Confirm’.

4b. Connect the wallet to Polygon 

Still following the desktop procedure, connect your web wallet to the Polygon network, where your Unstoppable domain will be registered.

These are the steps for Metamask:

  • Go to PolygonScan.com
  • Scroll down to the site footer and click on Add Polygon Network
  • MetaMask will ask you to approve the changes. After doing so, click on Switch Network

4c. Mint your Unstoppable Domain

Now everything is ready for minting, i.e. to register the domain on blockchain:

  1. Go back to your Unstoppable Domains account
  2. Go to ‘My Domains’:
  3. Select ‘Free Mint’ next to your domain and click on continue.
  4. Select the wallet in which you want to mint your domain.
  5. Tick the  “I understand” box and confirm.
  6. Confirm your e-mail, enter the verification code and confirm.
  7. Your domain will be minted on Polygon. The operation may take several minutes depending on the traffic on the network. Click on Track Progress for more details on the status of the operation.

It’s done! The Web3 domain is yours, and it is verifiable on the blockchain.
