Adding a Centralised Exchange (CEX) account requires you to create a read-only API key from your favourite CEX. Read below for a step-by-step guide on how to generate this API key for each CEX Lighthouse supports.

For improved security & to avoid expiry of API keys, you can add the two following IPs (separated by comma) when creating an API key: 34.38.15.186,34.79.28.87

IP address restriction is mandatory on some CEXs, optional on other but recommended by Lighthouse.
