- Navigate to Connections: In the left menu of the Portfolio App, select Connections then Exchanges.
- Add Exchange: Click the blue plus on the right of the screen to add a new exchange. Choose your exchange from the list and fill in your API key and Secret in the designated fields.

Step 2 - Add Your Wallet

- Confirm and Verify: After entering all required data, review in the next step and click Confirm to successfully add your wallet.
- A synchronization will run and report whether it succeeded or not.
Step 3 – Explore Your Crypto Data
Once your crypto has been synchronized, the "Dashboard" and "Portfolio" sections offer a detailed overview of your holdings. If your subscription includes transaction data, these will be visible under "Transactions".
Step 4 – Manage Balance Differences
Go to “Balance Differences” by clicking its icon at the top of the screen. Then select the action to resolve the balance discrepancy for a specific cryptocurrency. Repeat this until all differences are resolved.
Important to Know
Security: Your API key and Secret are stored securely, and the Portfolio App only requires read-only permissions, meaning we cannot make trades or transfer funds on your behalf.
Synchronization: After connecting your exchange or wallet, synchronization of your holdings and transactions begins automatically so your dashboard stays up to date.
