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 Guard Cloud mode to auto-close your positions 24/7, or to trade through MCP (AI assistant) or Telegram, we need 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
• Every access is audit-logged

What this unlocks:

• Guard Cloud mode: auto-close on funding flip, TP/SL, alerts, even with the tab closed
• AI trading via MCP. Ask Claude to open/close positions for you
• Telegram alerts and commands

How to store:

• On the Trade page, click Manage on the compact Protection row at the top. The full DEX list slides out in place. Toggle the exchanges you want saved.
• Or via the store_credentials MCP tool

Revoking credentials

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

• On the Trade page, click Manage on the Protection row and toggle the exchange off
• Via revoke_credentials or revoke_all_credentials MCP tools

Once revoked, Guard Cloud mode, 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. In that setup, Guard runs in Browser mode: TP/SL, funding flip, and auto-close all fire tab-side.

With stored credentials, Guard Cloud mode handles monitoring 24/7: auto-close runs server-side, Telegram alerts fire whether or not you're watching, and the MCP assistant can manage positions for you. Setup takes 30 seconds and you can revoke anytime.
