Binance is a preferred exchange for current deployments, alongside Kraken (the current priority deployment) and Pionex. This page explains how a Binance connection is intended to work, what the bot can and cannot do on the account, and what a user should verify before connecting. Compatibility is confirmed during onboarding.

Why users connect a bot to Binance specifically

Binance offers the deepest liquidity and the widest range of trading pairs of any exchange BotNexis supports, which matters for strategies that rely on tight spreads or less common coins. Users running higher frequency or multi pair strategies tend to prefer Binance for that reason. BotNexis does not change any of Binance's own security model. It simply automates order placement on top of it.

How the Binance API connection works

A user generates an API key inside their own Binance account settings and grants it two permissions only: enable reading, and enable spot and margin trading. Withdrawal permission is left off, and Binance enforces that restriction on its side, not BotNexis. The key is entered once during setup and the bot never asks for a password, a seed phrase, or a fund transfer.

Once connected, the bot translates a chosen rule set into standard Binance API calls: place order, cancel order, check balance, check order status. Every call is the same type of action a user could place manually inside the Binance interface. Automation changes the speed and consistency of execution, not what actions are possible on the account.

Security note

If anything ever asks for a Binance withdrawal key, a password, or a transfer to an outside wallet in order to activate a bot, that is not how a legitimate non custodial connection works, and it should be treated as a warning sign. See the full security page for more on this.

Not locked into Binance only

Kraken is the current priority deployment. Binance and Pionex are preferred exchanges for current deployments. Other exchanges may be reviewed on request at the same license price. Compatibility is confirmed during onboarding.

If a specific exchange is not shown on the site yet, that does not mean it cannot be used. A bot is regularly prepared for other platforms on request and personalized to that exchange's own API. Customization for a different platform does not change the price of the license, the tiers stay the same as described on the plans page.

What a Binance bot cannot do

Coin selection and strategy scope on Binance are tied to license tier, covered in the plans breakdown. The one time API connection step is covered in the setup guide.

Does BotNexis hold custody of funds on Binance?+
No. BotNexis is non custodial. The bot connects through an API key generated inside a user's own Binance account, with reading and trading permissions only. Withdrawal access is never granted, and Binance enforces that restriction on its end, not the bot.
Can BotNexis guarantee profit on Binance trades?+
Automated trading involves financial risk. Results depend on market conditions, configuration and execution, and trading performance is not guaranteed.
Is BotNexis limited to Binance, Kraken and Pionex only?+
Kraken is the current priority deployment. Binance and Pionex are preferred exchanges for current deployments. Other exchanges may be reviewed on request at the same license price. Compatibility is confirmed during onboarding.
