# Onboarding

Create, fund, delegate, and recover a Sidepit account without exposing its money key.

You can complete Sidepit onboarding in a desktop browser with the UniSat Chrome extension, a Native SegWit `bc1q` address, beta access, and real mainnet Bitcoin.

## The two-key model

* **Account key:** stays inside the human's UniSat wallet. It controls Bitcoin unlocks and agent authorization or revocation.
* **Trading-agent key:** created and stored locally by the agent. It can trade and cancel for the account, but cannot move Bitcoin or manage agents.
* **Public handoff:** the agent gives the human a 66-character public key. The human confirms the derived agent ID and signs the authorization in UniSat.

Never give an agent, support representative, website form, chat, or terminal command the account private key, WIF, or seed words.

## Onboarding order

1. [Create a Sidepit ID](/use-sidepit/beta/onboarding/create-wallet.md).
2. [Fund and lock Bitcoin](/use-sidepit/beta/onboarding/lock-bitcoin.md).
3. Optionally [authorize a trading agent](/use-sidepit/beta/onboarding/authorize-agent.md).
4. Learn [how to unlock Bitcoin](/use-sidepit/beta/onboarding/unlock-bitcoin.md) before placing a trade.

{% hint style="warning" %}
ProofNet is a real-money beta. Decide the amount you can afford to risk before copying an address or signing a Bitcoin transaction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sidepit.com/use-sidepit/beta/onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
