</Note>

## Settings Tab

### Display Currency

Predicta uses **PT (Predicta Tokens)** internally. The **display currency** converts your balance into a familiar local currency.

**Supported display currencies include:**

* **USD** (US Dollars)
* **KES** (Kenyan Shillings)
* **TZS** (Tanzanian Shillings)
* Other regional currencies depending on your location

Your display currency is set automatically based on your country at registration, but you can change it any time under **Settings**.

### Understanding Dual Currency Display

Throughout the app, amounts appear in your display currency with PT shown below. Hovering over any balance shows:

* The **USD equivalent** (the real-world reference value)
* The current exchange rate: `1 USD ≈ X {your currency}`

<Tip>
  USD is the base reference. Your display currency (KES, TZS, etc.) is approximated from the USD rate — the tooltip always shows the exact USD value.
</Tip>

## Security Tab

### Change Password

1. Go to the **Security** tab
2. Click **"Change Password"**
3. Enter your current password
4. Enter and confirm your new password
5. Save changes

<Note>
  If you signed up with Google, you may not have a password set. You can add one from the Security tab.
</Note>

## Referrals Tab

### Your Referral Code and Link

Every account has a unique referral code (e.g. `F1E0E3E82CEC`). Share your referral link:

```
predictamarkets.com/join/{your-code}
```

* When someone registers using your link, the referral is credited
* Referral codes are case-insensitive
* Track your referral earnings and sign-up history from the Referrals tab

### Referral Bonus

You earn a reward for each friend who signs up and starts trading using your link. Current reward: **KES 100 per referral** (shown in the Markets page banner). Check the Referrals tab for your total earnings.
