Binance notes

On Binance, Secret Key is shown only once after creating the API key, so it must be copied and saved immediately. To connect BRAIN, it is important to select Restrict access to trusted IPs only and not leave the API without IP restrictions. IP addresses from BRAIN must be pasted into Binance in the format accepted by the exchange. After adding them, Binance may display them as separate IP tags. BRAIN requires trading permissions, but withdrawal access must not be enabled. If you have just registered a Binance account, the exchange may require basic identity verification before creating an API key or using trading functions.
