Sign in with Telegram

No passwords and no email: a code from the Nectar bot signs you in, and you approve withdrawals and key exports in Telegram.

Nodes has no passwords and no email accounts. Your Telegram account is your Nodes account: you sign in with a one-time code the Nectar bot sends you in Telegram, and the same Telegram approves anything that could move HYPE out of Nodes.

How it works#

  1. Log in with TelegramThe site opens the Nectar bot in Telegram, carrying a one-time request.
  2. Get the codeThe bot sends you a 6-digit code, with the browser and the IP that asked.
  3. Type it on the siteType the code on the sign-in page, and the site signs you in. Tap Cancel in Telegram, and nothing happens.
A request lasts
5 minutes, and works once

Opening the link again
Sends a new code
Never send the code to anyoneNodes never asks for it. Whoever types the code signs in to your account. If you did not just ask to sign in, tap Cancel.

Sign-in alerts#

The bot tells you about every new sign-in to your account: the browser, the IP, how and when. If it was not you, tap Log out everywhere. Every browser signed in to your account is signed out within seconds, and the bot tells you how many.

Add email, Google or a wallet#

In Settings → Security, add your email, Google or a wallet: you can then sign in with it too, into the same account. You confirm it with a code the bot sends to your Telegram, so no one who only has your browser can add their own. The bot tells you each time one is added or removed; if it was not you, tap This wasn't me, and it is removed and every browser is signed out. One can be added per account. Withdrawals and key exports stay approved in Telegram.

No Telegram app on this device#

After Log in with Telegram, use Telegram did not open? Open it in the browser to open the link on Telegram's own page. The bot sends the code to your Telegram account, so it shows up in Telegram on any device you use; type it on this page. There is no phone-number sign-in: it asked you to approve a login in Telegram, and a login someone else started looks just the same.

What else Telegram approves#

  • Withdrawals of HYPE to an address outside your Nodes wallets: the exact amount and recipient.
  • Exporting a private key: the key is then shown once, for 60 seconds.

Moving HYPE between your own wallets and trading need no approval: nothing leaves your account.
