To access the Pareto Network you need three things:

An Ethereum Wallet PARETO tokens in the Ethereum Wallet Metamask or any web3 enabled browser.

Fortunately, this can be reduced to two prerequisites as all web3-enabled browsers have Ethereum wallets in them. Wallets contain at least one Ethereum address.

PARETO tokens can be purchased and transferred to your Ethereum wallet on any of the following exchanges:

web3 in this context refers to a series of protocols that allow access and interaction with the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain is a shared database and computational resource which lowers the cost of doing business. We do not use or store usernames, passwords, access tokens or any of your cryptoassets.

The Pareto Network uses web3 protocols to distinguish users, based on their unique Ethereum address, and it only follows the Ethereum addresses which contain PARETO tokens in them.

Therefore, all owners of PARETO are users of the Pareto Network. In that vein, accessing the Pareto Network is more akin to claiming your already existing user account. User accounts are merely Ethereum addresses which at one point held any PARETO tokens, and to access the network a user must prove they own the address by signing it.

We use web3-enabled browsers to streamline the signing process with one click. The following web3-enabled browsers are a subset of ones available:

Desktop

Google Chrome with Metamask extension

Firefox with Metamask extension

Brave with Metamask extension

Mist

Mobile

iOS : Trust

Android: Trust

Although this method may seem esoteric, this is the same functionality that idex.market, EtherDelta and other decentralized exchanges use to enable access, as well as games like Cryptokitties.

Now that you have a web3-enabled browser, you need your PARETO balance in the wallet. Consider IMPORTING your prior wallet, instead of transferring your tokens. As transferring will have a negative impact on your PARETO Score and ranking.

Afterwards, make sure your wallet is unlocked and continue to https://www.pareto.network and click the ACCESS button.

This will prompt you to sign a message, and our server will verify the signature.

One click signing prompt.

For users with rigorous cold storage techniques, we will be implementing manual signing in the future. (Cold storage refers to offline, physically difficulty storage of cryptoassets, as an extra layer of security.) Signing addresses does not require an internet connection, but the signed result will need to be transmitted to the Pareto Network server initially.

If you would like to authenticate a different address, then click the RESET button on the web page to de-authenticate the current Ethereum address, switch your web3 browser to the desired Ethereum address and the ACCESS button should have re-appeared in the Pareto Network web application.

User Interfaces for Pareto access will become simpler and easier to use

Pareto Network and its partners will be implementing a variety of user friendly improvements to mask more of the Wallet/Address/Token technology and streamline access to the Pareto Network. This will make the platform accessible for an increasingly broader audience.

In the mean time, consumers that are willing to dive in to the technology have an advantage.
