Pre-Setup Checklist
It is important that you understand & follow all instructions in the pre-setup checklist before starting to set up your FinRev onboarding. Please read the following checklist carefully, and complete any action steps necessary.
Various software and settings on your device (particularly antivirus software, privacy applications & browser based cryptocurrency wallets) can clash with the dYdX API keys, and it may require several trouble-shooting attempts to solve the issue and get you connected to FinRev. We will contact you if there are any errors in your connection within 24 hours.
If you are in the US or UK, you need to set up & activate a VPN with the location set to 'Sydney, Australia' before logging onto the dYdX website, every time you access the site.
This setup must be performed on a desktop device. Please keep an eye out for our iPad connection guide (coming soon).
Once you have read & understood the above steps and activated a VPN (if required), you are ready to commence your FinRev onboarding.
