How Elvantis Works
A structured walkthrough of the account setup, verification, trading, and wallet management process on the Elvantis platform.
Getting Your Account Ready
Create Your Account
Visit elvantis.org and register using a valid email address. You will receive a confirmation email to verify the address. Choose a strong, unique password. At this stage your account exists but exchange functionality is not yet enabled.
Account creation does not require payment information or financial details.
Complete Identity Verification
KYC verification is required before exchange activity is permitted. The process involves submitting a government-issued photo identification document and completing automated identity verification. Depending on your account type, proof of address documentation may also be required.
Verification is conducted through a secure process and documentation is handled in compliance with applicable data protection requirements. The process typically takes a short period to complete once documents are submitted.
Fund Your Account
Once verification is complete, you can deposit funds through supported methods. Fiat currency deposits are processed through connected banking channels. Cryptocurrency deposits are sent to your exchange wallet address shown in the platform.
Deposit methods and limits depend on your verified location and applicable state regulations.
Execute Transactions
Select the asset pair you want to trade. Review the transaction details including the exchange rate, applicable fees, and the amount you will receive. All fees are displayed before you confirm. Authorize the transaction only after reviewing all disclosed terms.
Transfer to Non-Custodial Wallet
After trades settle, you can transfer assets to your Elvantis non-custodial wallet. The wallet software generates your private keys locally on your device. These keys are never transmitted to Elvantis servers. From this point, the assets in the wallet are under your sole control.
You can also send assets from the wallet to any compatible external address.
Understanding the Non-Custodial Model
The non-custodial wallet is a distinct component from the exchange. Understanding the difference is important for managing your assets appropriately.
- Custodial during active trading
- Required for exchange transactions
- Funds accessible for trading
- Subject to exchange operational controls
- Private keys held on your device only
- Elvantis cannot access wallet funds
- User retains full control at all times
- Suitable for longer-term asset storage
Wallet Responsibility Notice
With a non-custodial wallet, the responsibility for safeguarding private keys rests entirely with the user. If private keys are lost and no backup exists, access to the associated funds cannot be recovered by Elvantis or any third party. Users should maintain secure backups of wallet recovery phrases in accordance with security best practices.
