Managing API key permissions

When connecting exchanges to UNOCU, it's critical to use the minimum required permissions.

Required permissions

UNOCU only needs read-only access to your exchange account. Specifically:

  • View balances — to show your holdings
  • View orders/trades — to track trading performance
  • View staking — to track staked positions and rewards

Permissions to never grant

Never enable these permissions for UNOCU:

  • Trading — UNOCU does not execute trades
  • Withdrawal — UNOCU never moves your assets
  • Transfer — UNOCU does not transfer between accounts

Revoking access

You can disconnect an exchange at any time from Settings → Connectors. Click the exchange and select Disconnect. This removes the API key from UNOCU's encrypted vault. For additional security, also delete the API key from the exchange's settings.
