Connect Synthetix Perps 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.

1. 1Sign in and open Settings (the tab on the right edge), then the Exchange Auth tab.
2. 2Pick Synthetix Perps. Instead of key fields you get a connect wizard.
3. 3Connect your browser wallet and choose the test network first.
4. 4Approve the trading agent with one wallet signature. The agent can place and close trades; it cannot withdraw.
5. 5Wait for the green status and the balance to appear. If both networks read empty, fund the test account first.

What works on Synthetix Perps today

Synthetix Perps 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

Base Sepolia, experimental: the connect UI works but balances are not verified end to end yet.

If Synthetix Perps does not connect

TensorTrader never asks you to paste a seed phrase to fix a Synthetix Perps 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 Synthetix Perps; approve again and wait for the green status.

Placing Synthetix Perps orders from TradingView

Beta Pioneer: 90 days, plus seats to share

A verified trade-only Synthetix Perps 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.
