# User lifecycle

> See how users move from onboarding to funded trading and payouts on DojiFunded.

This page explains how you move through DojiFunded from account setup to funded trading and payouts.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Landing page">
    You start on the DojiFunded landing page where you can understand how DojiFunded works, review available account types, and begin the onboarding process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign up and log in">
    Create an account using one of three methods.

    Each user is associated with a single trading identity. A connected wallet is mandatory and is used for trade execution, account verification, and payouts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Account selection">
    After logging in, select one of the following account types. Each has fixed parameters defined in advance: profit targets, drawdown limits, payout conditions, and trading restrictions. Optional add-ons may adjust certain parameters such as profit split or hedging permissions.

      </Card>
    </CardGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Payment">
    Pay a one-time fee based on the selected account type. Once payment is confirmed, the account is activated and you gain access to the trading platform. There are no recurring fees for evaluations.

      </Card>
    </CardGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trading">
    All trading takes place inside the DojiFunded platform. Each account is assigned a virtual allocation (for example, `$10,000`):

    * The balance is not withdrawable
    * It exists only for internal accounting and risk logic
    * Trading behaviour mirrors real market conditions

    All trades must be executed using the connected wallet. Off-platform trading is not permitted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitoring and verification">
    While trading, the platform tracks everything in real time.

    | Signal          | What's tracked                                                |
    | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Positions & PnL | Live position tracking and profit/loss monitoring             |
    | Drawdowns       | Continuous drawdown usage monitoring                          |
    | On-chain NFTs   | Trade positions recorded on-chain with full position metadata |
    | Rule compliance | Checked continuously throughout trading                       |

    Performance data is visible in the dashboard and the trade NFT Explorer. Any attempt to bypass platform rules — including wash trading, prohibited strategies, or external execution — invalidates the account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Payouts">
    When payout conditions are met:

    1. Request a withdrawal from the dashboard.
    2. Performance is verified on-chain.
    3. Funds are sent directly to your wallet.

    Payout percentages depend on the account type and any selected add-ons.
  </Step>
