Getting Started

How to Use CHK

From first registration to active citizenship. Here is everything you need to get started with your CHK identity, wallet, and community.

Step 1

Your AOID (Accepted Online Identity) is your passport to the CHK ecosystem. Registration takes you through 7 biometric verification steps to establish a secure, unique identity.

Step 2

Your Wallet Is Ready

After completing registration, your CHK-SID Wallet is created automatically. No extra steps. No separate signup.

You receive 1 CHK as a welcome bonus the moment your wallet is created.

Step 3

Two Ways to Log In

CHK offers two login modes depending on what you are doing:

Speed Login (Face Only)

Quick face recognition for browsing, checking balances, and viewing content. Fast and low-friction.

Full Login (Face + PIN)

Required for any transaction: sending CHK, signing contracts, voting, or accessing sensitive features.

Step 4

Send and Receive CHK

Your wallet lets you send CHK to anyone in the ecosystem and receive it from anyone. Use your wallet address or a contact name for easy transfers. All transactions are recorded on-chain and verifiable.

Step 5

Add Contacts

Save other CHK members to your contact list for quick, frictionless sends. No need to copy-paste wallet addresses — just pick a name and send. Contacts are stored securely in your account.

Step 6

Buy or Sell CHK

Need to convert between CHK and fiat currency? Find a registered CHK broker in the marketplace, or use A Bank — the CHK ecosystem's banking layer. Brokers are community members who facilitate exchange.

Step 7

Create Your Public Profile

Set up a pseudo profile with your own @handle for public identity within the ecosystem. Your @handle is how others find you, mention you, and send you CHK. Choose something that represents you.

Step 8

Join CHK Maate

Upgrade from a basic member to a full CHK Maate citizen. Membership unlocks governance rights, industry participation, and access to member-only features.

Joining CHK Maate earns you a 40 CHK membership bonus credited to your wallet.

Step 9

Participate in Governance

As a citizen, you have a voice. Create or sign petitions for issues that matter in your community. Vote on proposals through your industry's Standing Committee. Run for office or elect your representatives using Elect-Chain on-chain voting.

Step 10

Validate and Be Validated

Trust grows through validation. Use ValidateMe to request validation from other community members who know your work and character. Use ValidateYou to vouch for others you trust. Validation raises your clearance level and opens more of the ecosystem to you.
