Invite-only access & signup
Interstate is in gated launch. You need either an access code or a spot on the waitlist to use the platform.
Two ways in
1. Access code or referral code
Any existing Interstate user can share their referral code. During gated launch, referral codes also act as access codes — one code, two uses. If someone sends you their code, paste it on the access gate and you're in immediately.
Referral codes are short (6 characters, uppercase). A trader's code is derived from their username.
2. Waitlist
No code? Join the waitlist. On the access gate, enter your email to get a waitlist position and unlock quests:
- Follow Interstate on Twitter / X
- Join the Telegram community
Completing quests moves you up the queue. Current estimated wait is around 2–3 weeks depending on queue length and platform capacity.
::: warning Capacity cap The platform is capped at a fixed number of active accounts during gated launch. When the cap is reached, new signups are held on the waitlist until slots open. :::
Sign in methods
Once you're past the access gate, you can sign in four ways:
| Method | What happens |
|---|---|
| Email + password | Standard email signup. A custodial wallet is created for you inside a Turnkey secure enclave. |
| OAuth sign-in with your Google account. Same Turnkey wallet setup. | |
| Phantom | Connect an existing Phantom wallet. You sign a message to prove ownership — no password needed. |
| MetaMask | Same as Phantom, for EVM users. Useful if you plan to trade on Monad. |
Email and Google give you a custodial Turnkey wallet that Interstate manages for you — private keys live inside Turnkey's secure enclave, never on Interstate servers. You can export the private key at any time.
Phantom and MetaMask give you a self-custodial wallet you already control.
After signup
Your account is ready immediately. You'll have:
- A Solana address (for Solana trading)
- A Monad/EVM address (for Monad trading)
- A spot in the Airdrop Genesis leaderboard at rank Degen (1× multiplier, 10% SOL cashback on spot trades)
- A personal referral code you can share to invite others
You cannot trade until you fund your wallet. See Deposits, Withdrawals, and Onramp for how to add funds.
