Do Trading Bots Require Access to Your Wallet?

Trading bots have revolutionized how we trade crypto, but there's one big question you should always ask: Does it need access to your wallet? Ideally, the answer is no.
Most bots simply need API keys to connect with your exchange and execute trades. However, bots that request access to your wallet or withdrawal permissions pose a risk to your funds. In this article, we'll dive into why you should avoid those, and how Gunbot offers a safer alternative by keeping your wallet out of the equation while letting you trade effectively.

Avoid Bots with Full Wallet Access—Here's Why

Handing over full access to your wallet is like giving someone the keys to your car—there's no telling where they'll go with it. The smarter approach is to use bots like Gunbot that only require minimal permissions via API keys. These keys allow bots to place trades for you without touching your wallet or funds. Bots that ask for withdrawal permissions or wallet access should be a red flag. With Gunbot, you're always in control because it never needs access to your funds, ensuring a safer trading experience. Plus, it's customizable to suit your trading style without compromising security.

Limited API Access

Gunbot only needs basic API permissions for trading, not withdrawals.

No Risk of Withdrawals

Unlike some bots, Gunbot can't and won't withdraw funds from your exchange account.

Personalized Strategies

Customize trading strategies while maintaining control over your wallet and funds.

Encrypted & Secure

Gunbot ensures your API connections are secure, so trading happens without exposing your funds.

“What I love about Gunbot is that it doesn't need access to my private wallet, so I never worry about my funds being at risk. It just does its job—trades securely.”

API Keys: The Safest Way to Let Bots Trade for You

API keys are the gatekeepers that let trading bots connect to your exchange. But here's the thing—not all bots handle these keys the same way. Some might ask for more access than they need, like the ability to withdraw funds. Gunbot takes a much more cautious approach. It only uses API permissions to trade, without touching your wallet or performing withdrawals. This means you can enjoy the benefits of automated trading without worrying about security. Always be cautious and stick to bots like Gunbot that value your security as much as you do.

Gunbot user reviews

Bought Gunbot in November, fumbled with Sim in December... Kicked off real trading last month... And after 1 month I made back the ultimate lifetime licence cost 2 times. Thanks for your great software @GuntharDeNiro and to all those who helped make it stronger with new strategies and feedback for improving the systems over the years. This is the best bot I have seen in terms of control we have as a user.
