How to Add a Wallet in Nicky
This guide will show you how to connect a wallet to your Nicky account. You can do this in two ways:
- Using the Connections tab – Ideal for linking exchange wallets via API.
- Using the Routing tab – Best for manually adding private wallet addresses.
Method 1: Connecting an Exchange Wallet via API
Step 1: Open Nicky and Go to Settings
Log in to your Nicky account. In the top right corner, click on the menu and select Settings.
Step 2: Go to the Connections Tab
Inside the Settings page, navigate to the Connections tab.
Step 3: Click “Add Connection”
Select Add Connection to start linking your wallet.
Step 4: Choose Your Exchange
From the dropdown menu, pick the exchange where your wallet is hosted (e.g., Kraken, Binance, Foxbit).
Step 5: Enter API Credentials
- API Key – Paste the API Key from your exchange.
- API Secret – Enter the corresponding API Secret.
These keys authenticate Nicky’s access to your account, enabling automated crypto management.
Step 6: Name the Connection
Give this wallet a unique name (e.g., “Kraken Trading Wallet”).
Step 7: Confirm the Connection
To finalize, type “Agree” when prompted.
Step 8: Select Cryptocurrencies to Route
Nicky will ask which crypto assets you want to route through this connection. Check the boxes for the coins you want to use.
Step 9: Save the Configuration
Click Save to complete the setup. Your wallet is now connected to Nicky.
Method 2: Adding a Private Wallet Address
Step 1: Open Nicky and Go to Settings
Log in and access the Settings page.
Step 2: Navigate to the Routing Tab
Click on Routing in the Settings menu.
Step 3: Click “Edit Routes”
To add a wallet, select Edit Routes.
Step 4: Choose “Private Wallet”
When prompted, select Private Wallet instead of an exchange.
Step 5: Enter Your Wallet Address
Paste the wallet’s public address (also called a wallet hash).
Step 6: Select Cryptocurrencies
Pick the specific coins that will be routed to this wallet.
Step 7: Name the Wallet Route
Enter a recognizable name (e.g., “USDC on Polygon”).
Step 8: Save the Configuration
Click Save to finalize.
Your private wallet is now added to Nicky, and selected cryptocurrencies will be routed accordingly.
By following these steps, you can easily integrate your wallets into Nicky, whether through an exchange connection or a private address.
