# How it Works

## Overview

ONZA App combines educational resources, AI-powered technologies, market intelligence tools, and exchange connectivity features within a single mobile platform.

Users maintain full control of their exchange accounts while accessing the tools and resources available within the ONZA ecosystem.

### Getting Started

**Using ONZA App follows a simple process:**

*Download the application from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store*\
\- [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onza.app)\
\- [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/onza-app/id6768534887?l=en-GB) <br>

* **1️⃣ Create Your Account**\
  Register your ONZA account and complete the onboarding process.
* **2️⃣ Complete Verification**\
  Complete the required identity verification process to activate access to platform services.
* 3️⃣ **Activate Your Membership**\
  Activate your ONZA Membership to unlock available platform features and resources.
* **4️⃣ Connect a Supported Exchange**\
  Connect a supported exchange using API credentials.
* **5️⃣ Access ONZA Features**\
  Explore educational resources, market intelligence tools, AI-powered technologies, and platform features available within the application.

### Exchange Connectivity

ONZA allows users to connect supported exchanges using API keys.

This enables the platform to interact with user accounts in a non-custodial manner, meaning:

* Users retain full control of their funds
* ONZA does not hold or manage assets
* Only exchange permissions required for platform functionality should be enabled
* Withdrawal permissions should never be enabled when creating exchange API credentials
* API connections remain user-controlled and can be removed at any time

#### Key Principles

* Users maintain ownership and control of their exchange accounts
* ONZA operates as a non-custodial technology platform
* API connections remain under user control
* Security best practices should always be followed when creating API credentials
