Exchange Connectivity
Warren connects to seven venues through API-based authorization under a non-custodial model. Your funds stay on your exchange, your keys are encrypted to your identity, and leverage is capped in code.
Warren currently supports exchange connectivity using API-based authorization.
Supported exchanges
Warren operates across seven venues for market data, backtesting, and live execution:
- Binance
- Bybit
- OKX
- KuCoin
- Gate.io
- Kraken
- Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid is perpetuals-only and settles in USDC; the other six support both spot and futures. Additional trading pairs are being added over time.
Non-custodial architecture
Warren follows a non-custodial execution model. This means:
- Your funds stay on your exchange
- Warren does not custody your funds
- API access is used only for execution
- Permissions can be revoked anytime
- You remain in control of allocations and limits
Encrypted credentials
Paper mode needs no exchange account at all. When you do go live, your API keys are stored with authenticated encryption bound to your identity: a key can only be decrypted in its owner's context, never replayed across accounts, and never held in plaintext inside the analysis engine. Decryption happens only inside an isolated operations function at the moment an order or balance check runs.
The leverage cap
Exchanges advertise leverage as high as 50–125×. Warren caps user leverage at a small single-digit multiple and blocks risky configuration combinations before a bot can start. Over-leverage is the fastest path to liquidation: at high leverage the liquidation distance shrinks below normal market noise, so the cap is what makes the rest of the risk framework meaningful. It is enforced in code, not offered as advice.
Connecting an exchange
Current exchange connection flow:
- Open Settings
- Navigate to Exchanges
- Select your preferred exchange
- Enter your API Key
- Enter your API Secret
- Save the exchange connection
- Verify exchange connectivity
Managing exchange access
You can later:
- Revoke access
- Update API credentials
- Modify preferred exchanges
- Adjust runtime configuration
You can also check your spot and futures wallet balances per venue, and see each venue's supported modes, leverage limits, and whether your keys are connected. Account-wide risk limits that act automatically (drawdown caps, per-strategy capital limits, loss-streak pauses) are covered in Runtime Configuration.
API keys should be generated with trading permissions only. Never grant withdrawal permission to Warren.
