Connect Gains Network to TensorTrader: Wallet-approved agent key, paper first
Approve a trade-only Gains Network agent, save it in TensorTrader on paper first, and see what works on Gains Network today.
Gains Network and TensorTrader
Gains Network (gTrade) is a decentralized leveraged trading protocol for crypto, forex and commodities, driven by smart-contract pools rather than an order book.
This guide shows exactly what Gains Network needs from you, how to create it without withdrawal permission, how to save it in TensorTrader on paper first, and what TensorTrader can do on Gains Network today. TradingView execution for Gains Network is not switched on yet, so this guide focuses on connecting and verifying the key.

Connect Gains Network in TensorTrader
Your seed phrase and main private key never leave your wallet. TensorTrader stores your public address and the restricted agent key, encrypted. That is the security baseline for every DEX that supports delegated keys.
- 1Sign in and open Settings (the tab on the right edge), then the Exchange Auth tab.
- 2Pick Gains Network. Instead of key fields you get a connect wizard.
- 3Connect your browser wallet and choose the test network first.
- 4Approve the trading agent with one wallet signature. The agent can place and close trades; it cannot withdraw.
- 5Wait for the green status and the balance to appear. If both networks read empty, fund the test account first.
What works on Gains Network today
Gains Network is connectable but not live-ready. You can save and verify a trade-only key now; execution switches on once the venue passes the same parity checklist as Binance and Hyperliquid (balances, margin, fills, reconcile, fill-based profit). Connecting now also helps us finish it, which is exactly what the Pioneer program rewards.
- key storage + verification
- Yes: the key is checked with a real call to the exchange.
- TradingView alert execution
- Not yet. Alerts for this venue are not executed until it has a verified paper path.
- live-ready (paper-first parity checklist)
- Not yet.
- paper / testnet path
- Arbitrum Sepolia, experimental: the connect UI works but balances are not verified end to end yet.
If Gains Network does not connect
TensorTrader never asks you to paste a seed phrase to fix a Gains Network connection. If a screen does, stop.
- no wallet detected
- Install MetaMask or a compatible browser wallet in the same browser and reload.
- empty balance
- Fund the test network first; a verified agent on an empty account shows zero.
- wrong network
- Testnet and mainnet need separate approvals; reconnect on the network you want.
- agent not registered
- The approval did not reach Gains Network; approve again and wait for the green status.
Placing Gains Network orders from TradingView
Until Gains Network is executable, alerts that name it are not turned into orders. Build your TradingView setup on a live-ready venue in the meantime: the same Batch Create alerts can later be pointed at Gains Network by changing the exchange in step 1 · Exchanges.
Beta Pioneer: 90 days, plus seats to share
A verified trade-only Gains Network key makes you a Beta Pioneer: your free beta runs 90 days instead of 30, and you get an invite code with 90-day seats for other traders. The code has 5 seats while we are still finishing a venue, and 2 once it is complete.
Find the code under Settings → Community and use "Copy invite link". Each seat gives a new account the same 90-day beta.
