API key safety

Bots run under the exact permissions you grant.

You must create API keys on each exchange to run automated strategies. It is unclear which scopes are required and which will let a bot act on your account. Granting broad permissions feels risky while too few permissions cause runtime failures. Testing, rotation, and revocation are often ad hoc and can break automation unexpectedly.

Liquid Edge runs chosen strategies on the exchange account you already control.

Limit to order and read scopesGrant only the API scopes needed for placing, modifying, cancelling orders and reading balances and fills. Liquid Edge uses those scopes to place and manage orders and to read fills and balances for strategy logic.
Create test keys and rotateCreate keys with the minimal scopes, enable any available IP whitelist, then verify the connection by placing a small controlled order or using the exchange test endpoint; when rotating, add and verify the new key before disabling the old one.
We never get withdrawal rights. Anywhere.On a perp DEX your funds sit in an isolated onchain vault only you can withdraw from. On a centralized exchange the exchange custodies them and we connect with API permissions limited to trading. Neither route lets Liquid Edge move your capital.
