Security tips
🕵

Once again, our app is safu and you can trust us. But a basic advice is :‌
  • Create a dedicated wallet for LimitSwap trades
  • Send the LIMIT tokens and the funds you want to trade on LimitSwap on this wallet
  • Use a "super-secured machine" : VPS or a dedicated laptop
  • Don't host other wallets on this machine
The team recommends you to use a VPS
Using a VPS is in our opinion the best way to use LimitSwap, because it is : - Super secure (you start from a clean Windows install) - Super fast (they generally have really good internet connection) - Up 24/24
See this page for VPS recommandations.

Why do I need to enter my private key ?
😵

LimitSwap needs your private key to be able to create buy/sell orders.
Below is an example of how we use Web.py to send an approval TX and sign with your key:
transaction = contract.functions.approve(routerAddress, amount
).buildTransaction({
'gasPrice': Web3.toWei(gas, 'gwei'),
'gas': 300000,
'from': Web3.toChecksumAddress(settings['WALLETADDRESS']),
'nonce': client.eth.getTransactionCount(settings['WALLETADDRESS'])
})
signed_txn = client.eth.account.signTransaction(transaction, private_key=settings['PRIVATEKEY'])
To be crystal clear, because many users ask the same question : LimitSwap does not use Metamask.
When you use Metamask, you need to confirm transaction in the Metamask pop-up, which is slow and need a human action --> our bot use your private key to create the orders.
You will need to export your private key by following this tutorial.‌
