How to Add Your Exchange Wallets to Coinance
Since our newwest update v1.1, users are able to link their exchange wallets via API keys to Coinance. This feature will reduce the hassle of signing into several exchanges, filling out excel spreadsheets and will help users to be faster up to date about their account / wallet balances. So far we support the 6 biggest crypto exchanges: Binance, Bitfinex, Coinbase, Gdax, Kraken and Poloniex. All a user has to do is simply scan the QR code of your API key or enter it manually to connect your favorite exchanges with us.
Security
The most important thing upfront: Our users privacy and security are our top priorities. We don’t collect any unnecessary data about our users holdings or usage behaviour. All the API key pairs are securely encrypted and saved on the device and won’t be sent to our servers. Also, we wrote a detailed article about any security concerns with a code example how we are handling the API keys. https://medium.com/coinance/api-keys-and-their-security-on-coinance-2fe5e36b8c87
