Whitelisted IP Addresses

Whitelisted IP Addresses serve as a security filter that allows only pre-approved network locations to connect to a trading API. By restricting access to a specific static IP or range, an exchange ensures that even if API keys are leaked, they cannot be used from an unauthorized source.

This adds a critical layer of defense-in-depth for institutional traders and automated trading systems. It effectively prevents attackers from using stolen credentials from remote or unrecognized locations.

The configuration requires the trader to maintain a stable network environment, often utilizing dedicated servers or VPNs. This practice is a standard requirement for high-security environments in both centralized exchanges and decentralized infrastructure interfaces.
