How to Create a BitShares Account
.
BitShares is a decentralized blockchain that empowers users with complete control over their digital assets. One of the most unique features of BitShares is its ability to be accessed through multiple front ends—different interfaces that connect to the same network. This means no matter which front end you use, you’re still on the same blockchain with the same account.

Think of it like accessing an email account: you can use different apps or web services, but they all connect to the same inbox. Whether you use XBTS, the BitShares Core Wallet, or ioBanker, your account remains the same across all platforms.
