Sign in

updown uses Privy for authentication. Click Login and sign in with your email address or a Google account. These are the only two methods. The Privy popup opens in place, so you stay on the page you were on. Your account is created automatically on first sign-in, with:
  • a generated username made of a color, an adjective, and a shape, such as “BlueAngrySquare”
  • a generated icon: a shape on a colored disc
  • an embedded wallet on Robinhood Chain that holds your cash
Sign up with your regular, permanent email address. Temporary addresses and dot-alias variants of an address are refused.

​
Allow trading

Before your first deposit, you complete a one-time approval. It appears inside the deposit dialog until it is granted:
Enable trading — One approval. After that, trades go through with no signing. Your keys stay yours · Only the trades you place · Revoke anytime
Click Allow trading. The panel reads “Enabling trading — A few seconds. You can close this, it keeps going.” When it finishes, it reads “Trading enabled — Deposit to trade.” Click Continue. The approval lets updown move funds for the trades you place, settle your windows and options, and route deposits into your balance, without a signature for every action. Your keys stay in your Privy embedded wallet.

​
Your profile

Your Portfolio page is also your profile. Open it from Portfolio in the top bar or from your avatar menu → Profile. Click Edit profile to change: Click Save. The toast “Profile updated” confirms it. Your public profile lives at /u/your-username. Your email and wallet addresses are never shown to others. See Profiles & social.

​
Your wallet

Your cash is USDG in your own wallet on Robinhood Chain. You can see it in three places:
  • Cash in the top bar. Click it to deposit.
  • Available cash on the Portfolio value card, with “$X in positions” beneath it.
  • Wallet in the options order panel.
The wallet icon on your Portfolio page (tooltip “Wallet addresses”) opens a dialog listing your wallet addresses. See Deposit & withdraw for the funding flow and Portfolio for how each figure is calculated.

​
User menu and theme

Your avatar in the top right opens a menu with Profile, Light mode / Dark mode, and Log out. Dark is the default theme. You can also sign out with the sign-out icon on your Portfolio page.
