TL;DR: Sign up with your email (and the sign-in method the app offers). Boundless holds your balance for you; no wallet app or seed phrase. You can add funds, receive payouts, and withdraw or off-ramp when supported.

What you’ll learn

  • How to create your Boundless account
  • How your balance works (platform-managed)
  • How to receive payouts and add or withdraw funds when the app supports it

How Boundless handles your balance

Boundless abstracts wallets for you: the platform holds the funds tied to your account. You don’t set up a separate wallet or seed phrase. When you earn from bounties, grants, hackathons, or crowdfunding, payouts go to your Boundless balance. You can then use that balance in the app or withdraw/off-ramp when available. See Wallets and accounts for more on how this works and what’s coming (e.g., passkey sign-in).

Prerequisites

  • A supported browser
  • An email address (and optionally a phone number if the app asks for it)

Steps

1

Go to Boundless

Open Boundless and start the sign-up flow.
2

Create your account

Sign up with your email and the sign-in method the app provides (e.g., password). Complete any verification the app asks for.
3

Use your balance

Your account has a balance managed by Boundless. You can receive XLM from completed work or rewards, add funds if the app supports it, and withdraw or off-ramp when that’s available. Follow the in-app prompts for adding or withdrawing funds.
