## How it works

The sFOX Connect API provides a simple and secure method for you to instantly offer sFOX's suite of digital asset services to your users:

1. **Onboarding & Verification:** Create and verify an sFOX account for your user
   1. Send your user's KYC information to sFOX
   2. sFOX Connect will create and verify an sFOX account for your user
2. **Generate User Authentication Token:** Retrieve an authentication token to interact with this user's sFOX account
   1. You now have access to the user's sFOX account and your user has access to sFOX's products and features all from within your application
