Trading access & integration
Paymium is wired into Mantapex through the CCXT integration layer, so importing balances and trade history into a read-only portfolio requires an API key and a secret that you generate inside your own Paymium account. Because Mantapex never custodies your funds, the keys you create should be scoped to read access only — withdrawal, transfer and trading permissions are unnecessary for portfolio tracking and should remain disabled. Public records list Paymium as operating across multiple jurisdictions, and the exact entity you contract with can affect KYC tier, available products, fiat on-ramps and withdrawal limits depending on your country of residence. Always verify eligibility and the local terms of service on the official site before opening an account.
Connection metadata is read directly from Mantapex's CCXT integration manifest — credential requirements reflect what Paymium itself exposes to read-only API consumers and may evolve as the venue updates its API.

Account, custody & security on Paymium
Paymium operates as a custodial trading venue: when you fund an account, the deposited assets are held in wallets controlled by the exchange and credited to your balance as a book-entry until you withdraw them. That trade-off — convenience and order-book liquidity in exchange for counterparty risk — is the central design choice of every centralised exchange and is what makes platform-level security so important to evaluate. Year of incorporation is not published in our index for Paymium, so we cannot quote an exact operational tenure here — the venue's own About page is the authoritative reference.
Almost every major centralised exchange — including Paymium — operates under some form of KYC ("Know Your Customer") and AML ("Anti-Money-Laundering") obligations imposed by the jurisdiction it serves. Because Paymium appears in public records across 2 jurisdictions (FR, EU), the verification tier you'll be asked to complete depends on where you sign up from, your trading volume, and any local restrictions that apply to specific products (spot, derivatives, margin or staking). Expect to provide a government-issued ID document and a recent proof-of-address at minimum; higher verification tiers may add liveness checks, source-of-funds questionnaires and accredited-investor confirmations.
For the specific case of connecting Paymium to Mantapex, the additional hardening layer is straightforward: generate a dedicated API key for read-only portfolio sync, label it clearly (for example "Mantapex read-only sync"), disable every permission except the minimum the exchange exposes for balance and trade-history queries, and store the secret in a password manager so you can rotate it on a schedule. If Paymium supports IP whitelisting and you connect from a stable address, restrict the key to that address. If you ever stop using Mantapex — or any other third-party dashboard — revoke the key on the exchange side rather than just deleting it from the dashboard, because the credential continues to authenticate against Paymium's API until Paymium itself invalidates it.
How to connect any exchange securely
Enable two-factor authentication on the exchange account itself before generating any API keys. The strongest options are hardware security keys (FIDO2 / WebAuthn devices such as YubiKey or Solo) where supported, followed by an authenticator app on a dedicated device (Aegis, Raivo, 1Password, or Google Authenticator); SMS-based 2FA is the weakest common method because of SIM-swap risk. Keep the recovery phrase or backup codes in offline cold storage rather than the same password manager you sign in with. Where the venue offers a withdrawal-address whitelist, turn it on: it shrinks the blast radius of a stolen key or hijacked session because funds can only leave to a pre-approved address after a cool-down. Pair that with anti-phishing codes, a dedicated email account, and alerts for new logins, withdrawal requests and API-key creation — most exchange-related losses originate from compromised individual accounts, not platform-wide breaches.
Security guidance on this page is generic exchange hardening that applies to every centralised crypto venue. For Paymium's exchange-specific policies — fund-segregation model, proof-of-reserves cadence, insurance coverage and incident-response history — the canonical references are Paymium's own Help Centre and any audit reports or attestations the venue publishes directly.
API access details for Paymium
Connecting Paymium as a read-only portfolio source on Mantapex relies on the credentials defined by Paymium's own API. The matrix below mirrors exactly what the CCXT integration layer asks for — ticked rows mean the field is required to authenticate, untouched rows mean Paymium doesn't ask for that field at all.
In short, Paymium requires 2 credentials to authenticate API requests: API key and API secret. All of these are generated from inside the exchange's own dashboard — Mantapex never asks you to share your account password or to set up an API key with withdrawal permissions enabled.
When you create the key on Paymium for use with Mantapex, restrict its permissions to read-only access (sometimes labelled "view", "read", "query" or "info"). Mantapex only needs to fetch balances, trade history and open positions. Withdrawal, trade-execution and transfer scopes should remain disabled. If Paymium offers a granular permission model, the safest combination is: enable "Read" or "View", disable "Trade" or "Spot trade", disable "Withdraw" or "Universal Transfer", and leave any margin / futures permission switched off unless you specifically want those positions visible inside your portfolio dashboard.
Some exchanges — Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin and several Asia-Pacific venues — offer an optional IP whitelist when you create the API key. Leaving the whitelist empty lets the key authenticate from any address, which is the simplest setup for use with a cloud-hosted dashboard such as Mantapex. If Paymium forces you to enter at least one IP and you don't have a static address, you can usually use a placeholder value the exchange recognises (for example "0.0.0.0/0" or the wildcard option) — consult Paymium's API documentation before relying on that workaround. Either way, the credentials remain in a read-only scope and cannot be used to move funds off the venue.
