### **Step-by-Step Account Creation**

**Step 1: Use the Referral Link**

* To enable reduced trading fees and full bot functionality, you must create your account through the unCoded referral link:
  * <mark style="color:purple;">**Referral Link:**</mark> [<mark style="color:$warning;">**Click Here to Register on Binance**</mark>](https://bit.ly/B-20Fee)
* By signing up via this link, you’ll pay **20% less in trading fees** on Binance. Plus, your unCoded bot profit share drops from 30% to **20%** when you register with the referral link. Ensure you complete the signup process using this link, as it’s mandatory for unCoded compatibility.

**Step 2: Sign Up on Binance**

1. Visit the Binance website via the [<mark style="color:$warning;">referral link</mark>](https://bit.ly/B-20Fee).
2. Click on <mark style="color:purple;">**Sign Up**</mark> and choose your preferred method:
   * **Email:** Enter your email address and create a secure password.
   * **Phone Number:** Use your phone number to register.
3. Enter the referral code if it’s not prefilled.
4. Agree to Binance’s terms and conditions and click <mark style="color:purple;">**Create Account**</mark>.

**Step 3: Verify Your Identity**

* Complete the <mark style="color:purple;">**KYC**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">(Know Your Customer)</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">**process**</mark> to enable full trading capabilities:
  1. Provide your government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license).
  2. Upload a selfie for identity verification.
  3. Submit proof of address if required.
* Verification usually takes a few hours but may vary based on your region.
