What it is

Manage exchange API connections (15 supported exchanges), Telegram bot link, payout wallet, RPC node settings.

How to think about it

This is where you connect external services to haythix — most importantly, your CEX exchange API keys.

Step-by-step

  1. Exchange connections

    15 exchange cards. Click any to connect. Paste API key + secret (+ passphrase for some). Important: only enable Read + Spot Trading on the exchange — never Withdrawals.

  2. Tier gates

    Starter unlocks Binance, Coinbase, Kraken. Trader adds Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, HTX. Pro unlocks Crypto.com, Bitfinex, Gemini, Bitstamp, Binance US, Poloniex.

  3. Telegram bot

    Click Link Telegram → opens our bot in Telegram → /start command links it to your account.

  4. Payout wallet

    For tip jar earnings and creator subscription payouts. Connect via WalletConnect or paste address. Must be on supported chains (ETH, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Solana).

  5. RPC nodes

    Public RPC defaults work but get rate-limited. Add your own Alchemy/Infura/QuickNode key for higher throughput.

Tips & pitfalls

  • API keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. We never see them in plain text.
  • IP whitelist your exchange API keys for max security.
  • Test the connection after adding — the green "Connected" badge confirms keys work.
  • Disconnect deletes your encrypted key. To reconnect, you'll need to paste it again.
