# Register as a lead trader or edit your profile

> Register as a lead trader or edit your profile.

 A registration is checked against the platform's eligibility rules:
 account equity, trading history, closed positions, and a claimed custom
 TraderCode handle. The profile is replaced as sent: an omitted `bio` or
 `minAllocation` clears it and an omitted `status` means ACTIVE; an
 omitted `shareBps` keeps the current share (the platform default on a
 registration). A follower with a live follow cannot register.

        Ed25519 session-key request signing. Every authenticated request carries
        three headers: `X-Monaco-PublicKey` (64-char lowercase-hex session
        public key), `X-Monaco-Timestamp` (Unix milliseconds, within 30s of
        server time), and `X-Monaco-Signature` (hex ed25519 signature). The
        signature is over `METHOD\npath?query\ntimestamp_ms\nSHA256_hex(body)`,
        where the body hash is the SHA-256 of the empty byte string when there
        is no body. Obtain the session keypair from `POST
        /api/v1/auth/challenge` followed by `POST /api/v1/auth/verify`.

        RFC 9421 Ed25519 session-key request signatures. Send Signature-Input,
        Signature, and Content-Digest together; never combine them with
        X-Monaco-* credentials. The monaco signature covers @method, @path,
        @query, and content-digest in that order, with created (Unix seconds
        within 30s of server time), keyid (registered lowercase-hex session
        public key), and alg=ed25519 parameters. Content-Digest uses RFC 9530
        sha-256 over the exact body bytes, including the empty body. Query
        coverage retains ordering and percent encoding. Timestamp freshness does
        not reject repeated identical requests; use endpoint idempotency where
        supported. Existing legacy signing remains supported during server-first
        migration; SDK RFC 9421 signing is opt-in. See
        https://docs.0xmonaco.com/reference/http-message-signatures for the
        complete profile and trust model.
