Initial Passcode Authentication

The first step to accessing the App each time would be to type in your passcode. As an alternative, for your convenience and security, there is the possibility to log into the App using biometric authentication:

Device & Operating System Requirements

Only devices that meet the following device and operating system (OS) requirements can use the Crypto.com App (namely “Enabled Device”).

  1. Not a Jailbroken device.

  2. The device operating system is at least

  • Android: 8.0 and above (minimum supported Android SDK to be 26);

  • iOS: 15 and above.

Home Page

Once logged in, this is the first page that you will be greeted by. The page provides all the essential information and functionality to begin trading crypto. Favorite cryptocurrencies which are starred through the "Track" section are shown here for convenience.

Top performers and news

Top performers are found right below the favorites and indicate the best-performing token(s), in terms of percentage gain within the last 24h. Crypto News is right below the top performers, this section provides insight into new updates on the platform.

Buy and sell options

By going to the main page, you will see the "Buy" and "Sell" options on the left.

Selecting “Buy” will bring up the tokens that are available for purchase. Once a token has been selected, it will bring up a new tab that will allow the selection of purchase method and amount.

After the selection of method and amount is done, a confirmation screen comes up, following that the transaction needs to be authenticated. Upon successful authentication, the purchase confirmation screen comes up.

Sell a token

Selecting “Sell” will bring up the tokens available for sale (or the ones you have available in your crypto wallet). However, if you have an insufficient balance, you'll be asked to select a different amount and try again. You can either sell your tokens for cash or crypto.

Clicking the “Deposit” button on the home screen will open the depositing options - Crypto Deposit and Fiat Deposit.

For Crypto Deposits, select the coin you are looking to deposit and from there the details for your wallet will appear on the screen.

Initiating a Fiat Deposit will bring up the Fiat wallet depositing menu, where you will be asked to set up a fiat currency wallet.

You can easily withdraw your assets by going to "Accounts", clicking on "Crypto Wallet", choosing the asset you'd like to withdraw, clicking on "Transfer", and choosing "Withdraw".

Selecting “Withdraw” brings us to a similar screen that allows the withdrawal of assets, be it crypto directly or in fiat. Selecting Crypto will prompt a menu of options to appear. Depending on which accounts are linked to the Crypto.com App, more options will appear, such as Defi/Exchange/Other users, if the App is allowed to see contacts on the device.

External wallet withdrawals bring up a new page, where external wallets are added and confirmed. Selecting Fiat will lead to the Fiat wallet menu for withdrawals. You can find more information about deposit and withdrawal information in this article.

You can easily access this option, once you tap “Pay”, which is situated next to the "Deposit" option on the home page. This option allows instant payments to friends or supported merchants.

  • Gift Cards - allows the purchase of gift cards with cryptocurrencies.

  • Airtime - allows airtime top-ups.

  • Scan - opens up the camera to allow scanning of QR codes for payments to friends or supported merchants.

  • Send - brings up a contact list, if the App is allowed permissions to view contacts. Can send to anyone, even if they do not have an App account, which will prompt the receiving party to create an account, if they do, the crypto is received, if not, it is returned within a few days.

Account

Right next to "Home", you can find the "Accounts Tab". Once you’ve entered the Account menu, here you can find all of the details regarding your accounts.

  • Total balance

    • Here you can see your total balance in Crypto Wallet, Crypto Earn, and Fiat Wallet. Also, if you wish you can make your balance invisible, by clicking the "eye" icon, situated next to your balance.

      After you click on the Crypto Wallet, a drop-down menu will appear displaying all of the cryptocurrency holdings that you currently have in your Crypto.com App. Each cryptocurrency will display the amount you have in the said token and the percentage movements of gains/losses for the day.

The same as the abovementioned applies for all of the fields below with the exception of the FIAT wallet - there you can only hold the supported FIAT currency of your FIAT wallet - this depends on your location. You can find more information about that in this article.

  • Daily Balance Movement

    • Right below the total balance is the daily balance movement in the currency you’ve picked. This field represents the gains or losses for the day in the currency you’ve picked. It varies between green and orange, depending on whether the balance movement for the day is positive (green) or negative

      (orange).

  • Portfolio Allocation button

    • In the upper left corner, you can see the Portfolio Allocation button. There you can see your total portfolio value. How it’s divided amongst different coins presented in a pie chart, and/or how it’s divided among the Crypto.com Products, meaning - how much of your portfolio value is divided among the Crypto Wallet, Exchange, Crypto Earn, etc.

    • This option stands for converting your small cryptocurrency balances (“Crypto Dust”) to CRO. Cryptocurrency dust is small cryptocurrency balances under the minimum trade (buy/sell) limits. This button will display an orange dot if you have dust in your crypto wallet(s).

  • Here you can see a history of all of your Account transactions, such as:

    • Cryptocurrency transactions (buy/sell/deposit/withdraw)
