How to Create and Set Up Evedex API Key

This guide explains how to create and connect your Evedex API key to the Bitsgap platform for secure automated trading.
Before setting up the connection, it’s important to understand the difference between Trading Account and Smart Account on Evedex.

Note: Evedex is available only for Futures trading.

Trading Account vs. Smart Account

Evedex operates with two types of accounts that work together when you trade through Bitsgap:

• Smart Account: This is your on-chain wallet that stores your funds. It’s linked to your wallet provider (such as MetaMask or WalletConnect).
• Trading Account: This account is created when you start trading on the Evedex exchange. It’s a sub-account on the platform where your trading operations occur.

When you place trades, funds are automatically transferred from your Smart Account to your Trading Account, so you don’t need to move them manually. After execution or cancellation, remaining funds return to your Smart Account automatically. For more information about the account structure, visit the official Evedex guide.

For a manual transfer, follow these steps:

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Transfer.

2. Choose the Smart Account as the source account and the Trading Account as the destination.

3. Enter the amount you’d like to transfer and click Transfer to complete the process.
