This guide will help you navigate the platform, view and respond to submissions, and understand how to use the tooling for maximum efficiency.

  * [Create C4 accounts here](https://code4rena.com/register/account)
  * Verify email for your account
    * Check your inbox for an email from <noreply@code4rena.com>.
    * Click the verification link to confirm your email address.
  * Provide your Engagement Manager with a list of the team's usernames

You can safely ignore the "Connect wallet" option - that's for wardens, so they can get paid for finding bugs.
