Account Setup and Profile Configuration for RetinaOS

How to create your RetinaOS account, choose the right plan, manage API keys, configure notification preferences, and understand account tiers.

Setting up your RetinaOS account takes only a few minutes. This guide covers everything you need to get fully configured — from signing up and choosing the right tier for your needs, to securing your API keys and tuning your notification preferences so you never miss a signal.

Creating Your Account

1. Go to Retina Terminal

   Navigate to app.retinaos.xyz in your browser.

2. Click Sign Up

   Select Sign Up in the top-right corner of the page.

3. Enter your credentials

   Provide your email address and choose a strong, unique password.

4. Verify your email

   Open the confirmation link sent to your inbox. Your account is activated immediately after verification.

No wallet connection is required to create an account. The discovery feed is available without login.

Account Tiers

RetinaOS offers three tiers to match different usage patterns, from casual exploration to high-frequency programmatic access.

Feature	Free	Pro ($15–30/mo)	API Tier
Discovery feed	✓	✓	✓
Basic token pages	✓	✓	✓
AI queries per day	10	Unlimited	Unlimited
Alerts	—	✓	✓
Wallet following	—	✓	✓
Historical data	—	✓	✓
API access	Rate-limited	Included	Usage-based

You can upgrade or change your tier at any time from Settings → Billing.

Notification Preferences

RetinaOS supports two notification channels:

• Email — Alerts and digest summaries are delivered to your registered email address. Well-suited for lower-frequency, important signals you want a record of.
• Push — Browser or mobile push notifications for near-instant delivery. Ideal when you need to act quickly on a new token or wallet event.

Configure both channels in Settings → Notifications. For each alert you create, you can select one or both delivery methods independently — for example, receiving push notifications for critical risk flags while batching lower-priority signals into a daily email digest.

Alert notifications fire as soon as a token or wallet event matches your configured filter criteria.

Security Best Practices

Keeping your account secure protects both your data and any wallets you connect.

• Use a strong, unique password. Do not reuse a password from another service.
• Never share your API key. Anyone with your key can query the API on your behalf and consume your quota.
• Revoke compromised keys immediately. Go to Settings → API Keys → Revoke to invalidate a key the moment you suspect it has been exposed. Generate a replacement key right away.
• Wallet connections are read-only. RetinaOS never holds custody of your funds. Connecting a wallet grants view-only access to your on-chain data. The only exception is the Retina Wallet companion, which constructs transactions that you must explicitly sign — no action is taken without your confirmation.

Managing API Keys

You can create multiple named API keys to isolate access by application or environment.

To generate a key:

1. Go to Settings → API Keys.
2. Click Generate New Key.
3. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., prod-backend, local-dev).
4. Copy the key — it is displayed only once at creation. Store it in a secrets manager or environment variable immediately.

To revoke a key:

Navigate to Settings → API Keys, locate the key you want to remove, and click Revoke. Revoked keys stop working instantly. Any service using that key will need to be updated with a new one.
