Getting started

You need an invite to join: a link or a code from someone who's already on BounceTerminal. A link opens the sign-up page with the code filled in. A code on its own you paste in yourself.

Each invite link has a set number of spots, usually 3. Once they're all used, the link stops working.

Sign-up is two short steps. First your invite and a username (3 to 24 characters: letters, numbers and underscores). Then you choose how you'll sign in:

• Passkey. Your fingerprint, face or device PIN. This is the one to pick if you're unsure. There's nothing to remember and nothing that can leak.
• Wallet. You sign a free message with Phantom, Backpack or Solflare. That wallet is only your key to the door. It never pays for anything and BounceTerminal never touches what's in it. On a phone, open BounceTerminal inside the wallet app's own browser for this.
• Password. At least 10 characters. There's no password reset, so only use one alongside a passkey or a wallet.

Your account only exists once that step works. If you close the tab halfway, nothing is left behind, and an invite you entered still works. A started sign-up waits for 15 minutes.

BounceTerminal doesn't ask for your email, which means there's no "forgot password" link either. Right after sign-up it offers you a second way to sign in. Take it. A passkey on your phone plus a wallet, or passkeys on two devices, and a lost phone stops being a problem.

You can add and remove sign-in methods any time in Settings. BounceTerminal won't let you remove the last one.

Five wrong passwords in a row lock password sign-in for 20 minutes. If you're fully locked out, ask an admin. They can make you a one-time recovery link, good for 15 minutes, that lets you add a new passkey or wallet to your account.

The first time you open Deposit, Wallets or Launch, BounceTerminal makes you a main wallet. Its private key is held by Turnkey, not in BounceTerminal's database, and every transaction is signed there. You don't get a seed phrase to write down or a key to paste anywhere. Send it SOL and you can launch.

Main does most of the work:

• It's the dev wallet for your launches unless you pick another.
• It funds your buyer wallets.
• It pays the fees when any of your wallets sells, sends, airdrops or burns.

That last one saves more hassle than it sounds. Your buyer wallets can be completely out of SOL and still sell, so you never have to top up a dozen wallets just to get out of a coin.

To keep your own copy of its private key, open Settings → Main wallet key and press Export private key. Once you verify it's you, the key shows on your screen, ready to import into Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. Anyone who has it controls the wallet, so never share it or paste it into a website.

To fund BounceTerminal, send SOL to your main wallet's address from any wallet or exchange. Deposit in the top bar (and on the Wallets page) shows the address with a copy button and a QR code to scan from your phone.

To take SOL out, press Withdraw at the top of the Wallets page. Pick one of your approved addresses, type an amount or press Max. Withdrawals only go to addresses you've approved first (see Withdrawal addresses below).

Optional, and you'll find it in Settings. There are two kinds: codes from an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password and similar) or a signature from your own wallet. Either way you also get 8 backup codes. Each works once, so keep them somewhere offline.

Two-factor is asked for in two places:

• when you sign in with a password
• when you add a withdrawal address

With it on, someone who gets hold of your password still can't send your SOL anywhere new. If you sign in with a passkey or a wallet, it isn't asked at sign-in.

SOL only leaves BounceTerminal to addresses on your list, in Settings → Withdrawal addresses. You can have up to 4.

Adding one needs your two-factor. Without two-factor, you confirm with your password, passkey or wallet instead. Once it's added you can withdraw to it straight away. Removing an address needs no check at all, because it can only narrow where money can go.
