❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does Stoic AI need Withdrawal access on Crypto.com?
A: No, never! Stoic AI only requires "Can Read" and "Enable Trading" permissions. Always keep "Enable Withdrawal" disabled for account security.
Q: What should I do if my Secret Key is hidden on Crypto.com?
A: Crypto.com shows the Secret Key only once upon creation. If you didn't copy it right away, delete the key and create a new one.
Q: Why do I need to add IP addresses to the IP Whitelist?
A: Crypto.com requires an IP Whitelist when "Enable Trading" is activated. This ensures trades can only be initiated securely from Stoic's servers.
