Create the local identity that protects your Gimmer workspace.

Create the account

1. Open the installed desktop app. Select the account-creation path instead of importing an identity you do not control.
2. Use a unique password. Do not reuse an exchange, email, or cloud-account password.
3. Record the recovery material. Follow the app instructions exactly and keep the copy offline or in a trusted encrypted password manager.
4. Verify access. Lock and unlock the workspace before you depend on it for strategy operation.

Understand the security boundary

Account password

Unlocks protected local operations. Gimmer cannot safely recover a forgotten password without valid recovery material.

Wallet

Controls wallet-signed actions and GMR holdings associated with the local identity.

Exchange key

Authorizes a separate exchange account. Use trading permissions only and disable withdrawals.

Backup

Provides a recovery path when the computer, installation, or local database is lost or damaged.

Protect the credentials

• Never send passwords, private keys, seed phrases, backup secrets, or complete API credentials to support.
• Do not paste secrets into the public website, documentation search, chat, or screenshots.
• Keep the recovery copy separate from the machine that runs Gimmer.
• Use operating-system disk encryption and a protected user account.
• Revoke an exchange API key immediately if you believe it was exposed.
