Prerequisites

  • Kraken account with 2FA enabled
  • Verified identity on Kraken

Steps

01Generate API keys on Kraken

Log into Kraken, go to Settings > API, click 'Generate New Key'. Name it 'QuantumEdge' for easy identification.

02Set API permissions

Enable 'Query Funds', 'Query Open Orders & Trades', 'Query Closed Orders & Trades', 'Create & Modify Orders', and 'Cancel/Close Orders'. Do not enable withdrawal permissions. QuantumEdge requires trade-only API keys and will reject keys with withdrawal access.

03Copy API credentials

Copy both the API Key and Private Key. Store them securely - the Private Key is shown only once.

04Add credentials to QuantumEdge

In QuantumEdge, navigate to Settings > Exchanges > Connect Kraken. Paste your API Key and Private Key. Click 'Verify Connection' to validate the credentials.

05Confirm connection

QuantumEdge validates the API key permissions and tests the connection. If successful, your Kraken account status displays as 'Connected' and is ready for strategy deployments.
