• If you already have a funded sub-account with the asset you wish to accumulate in the Spot wallet, or
• if you already have one of our spot bots running on a Kucoin sub-account, you can skip directly to Step 3: Create API Keys. </aside>

This comprehensive guide walks you through setting up your Kucoin spot sub-account, from initial prerequisites and funding to API key creation, Sequence connection, and essential guidelines for active strategies.

The guide is organized into the following sections:

Before you get started

1. Use a Desktop Browser for Best Results. We strongly recommend completing the setup process on a desktop browser, preferably Chrome. In our experience, doing this on a mobile web browser can be quite difficult — while not entirely impossible, the process is significantly less smooth. Additionally, API configuration is not supported in the native exchange applications (e.g., the Binance or Bybit mobile apps), so it's important to use a desktop environment for a successful setup.
2. Primary Email Requirement Your registered email is the one linked to your active strategy or bot, and it’s the only one authorized to receive private account information. 2FA codes, invoices, and sensitive support responses will only be sent to this email.

Step 1: Create a sub-account
