**Step 1: Register a Binance account (if you don't have one yet)**

1. Go to the official [Binance](https://www.binance.com/) website.
2. Sign up using your email or phone number.
3. Complete the identity verification (KYC) if necessary, as this will allow you to access more features.

**Step 2: Activating your Binance Futures account**

1. Log in to your Binance account.
2. Go to the Binance homepage and select the **"Futures"** section from the top menu.
   * You can do this via the main panel or find the "Futures" option in the top navigation or via the [link](https://www.binance.com/ru/futures)
3. If you are entering the **Binance Futures** section for the first time, the system will prompt you to activate your account. Activate your account to gain access to futures contract trading.

**Step 3: Creating an API Key for Use on Other Platforms**

Now that your Binance Futures account is activated, you'll need to create API keys to use "Trading on Binance" widget.

1. Go to the **API Management** section:

   * Click on the **"User Center"** (person icon) in the top right and select **"Account"** option
   * After navigating to the profile page, select API Management or use the direct [link](https://www.binance.com/ru/my/settings/api-management).

2. Click on the **"Create API"** button:
   * Select the API key type - "System-generated."
   * Enter a name for your API key (e.g., "api-key")
   * Complete the verification process (if required)
3. After this, Binance will generate your **API Key** and **Secret Key**.

   * **Important!** Save these keys securely. The Secret Key will only be shown once. If you lose it, you’ll need to create a new key.

   * Click the "Edit restrictions" button and enable the following options:
     * **Enable Spot & Margin Trading**
     * **Enable Futures**
   * Save the changes by clicking the "Save" button
