Credentials

How connections work

To trade on a DEX, you connect your wallet on the Trade page and sign a message to authorize a trading session. Once connected, you see a green dot next to the exchange name.

Nothing is stored by default. Close the tab and the session ends. Next time you open the Trade page, you reconnect.

Optional: backend storage

If you want to trade through MCP (AI assistant) or Telegram, ProFunding needs access to your DEX credentials when no browser is open. You can optionally store them on the backend.

What gets stored:

• The credentials needed to authenticate with each DEX (varies per exchange)
• Encrypted with AES-256 before storage

What this unlocks:

• AI trading via MCP. Ask Claude to open/close positions for you
• Position monitoring with auto-close on funding flip
• Telegram alerts and commands

How to store:

• From the MCP page on the web
• Or via the store_credentials MCP tool

Revoking credentials

You can delete stored credentials for any DEX at any time:

• From the MCP page
• Via revoke_credentials or revoke_all_credentials MCP tools

Once revoked, MCP and Telegram lose access to that exchange immediately. Browser trading is unaffected since it uses its own session.

Which mode should I use?

Without stored credentials, you can only manage positions while the browser tab is open. Auto-close on funding flip works in the browser, but only while the tab stays open.

With stored credentials, ProFunding can monitor your positions 24/7, auto-close on funding flip, and let you manage everything from Telegram or your AI assistant. It takes 30 seconds to set up and you can revoke anytime.
