API Keys

Why Exchange API Keys are needed?#

We ask participants to provide read-only API keys so we can securely access the information needed to verify their participation — this includes recent trades, balances, and deposit address information. These permissions are strictly view-only and do not allow withdrawals, transfers, trading, or any action that could affect your funds. You remain in full control and can adjust or revoke the API key permissions at any time directly from your exchange settings.

Exchange Account prerequisites#

Before you create and connect API keys, please make sure that all prerequisites are met:

  • you use Live Account, not Demo or Sandbox Account
  • you have a deposit address for ETH on its native network (if not - create one)

Please, note that we allow to have only 1 API key per exchange.
