Authentication Process
Section titled “Authentication Process”Step 4: Sign the Authentication Transaction
Section titled “Step 4: Sign the Authentication Transaction”Once your wallet is connected, Ruxaby requires you to sign a zero-fee authentication transaction to verify your wallet ownership. This is a security measure that proves you control the wallet address.
The authentication transaction will show:
- From: Your wallet address (e.g., “tester 1”)
- To: Your wallet address (same as sender)
- Amount: 0.00 ALGO
- Fee: 0.00 ALGO
- Note: “sign in ruxaby.com”
Important: This transaction is created for signature verification only and is never submitted to the blockchain. It costs nothing and doesn’t modify your wallet balance.
What Happens Next
Section titled “What Happens Next”After signing the authentication transaction:
- Identity Verified: Your wallet address becomes your unique identifier on Ruxaby
- Session Created: You’re logged into the platform using your public address
- Ready to Trade: You can now browse products, make purchases, or create listings
