In the world of cryptocurrency, a secret key plays a crucial role in securing one's assets. A secret key is a private code that enables access to a cryptocurrency wallet. Without a secret key, one cannot access or make transactions with their digital assets.

In crypto exchanges, a secret key is used in combination with an API key to access the exchange's trading platform. The API key is used to allow automated trading bots or third-party applications to interact with the exchange's trading engine. While the secret key is used to sign transactions and ensure that only the owner of the wallet has access to their digital assets.

IMPORTANT: It is crucial that you store your Secret Key securely as it will only be displayed once during the API key creation process and will be hidden thereafter. Please note that you should never share your access details with anyone. In the unfortunate event that you forget your Secret Key, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to assist you with the resetting process. Your only solution would be to delete the API and create a new one.
