Security first: never enable withdrawal permission. AlgoVesta only needs read + trade access — your keys are stored AES-256 encrypted and funds always stay on your own exchange account.
Next: paste your key in Dashboard → API Keys. AlgoVesta verifies the key automatically after saving. Guided setup is also available via the Quick Connect wizard on that page.
