Crypto ($WLKN included) is traded on ***exchanges***, and in this chapter we'll be taking a closer look at how to <mark style="background-color:orange;">**create a Bybit account**</mark> before you make your first transaction on this exchange.

1. As a *first-time Bybit user*, you need to **create an account**. To save time and effort and enjoy **a nice bonus**, you may choose to tap on the *Bybit button* on the Home screen (Walken app) OR [tap here](https://www.bybit.com/sign-up?affiliate_id=38252\&group_id=54156\&group_type=1).&#x20;

3. **Complete KYC level 1** in order to deposit crypto and access P2P trading, or to buy crypto in one click. To do so, go to your *Profile → Identity Verification → Lv.1 → Verify now*.&#x20;
