# Add accounts

An account connects Origami Tech to your cryptocurrency exchange through API keys. It allows the platform to trade on your behalf and keep track of your positions.

To connect your exchange account to the profile: 

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Open the Accounts tab**

Go to Account in the upper menu bar and select Add Account.

{% step %}

### **Connect your exchange**

Choose your exchange from the list and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you add the IP address 15.235.202.52 to your exchange’s whitelist.

Depending on the exchange, this step might appear later in the instructions, so make sure the IP is included to avoid connection issues.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Once that’s done, your account will link to Origami Tech. You’ll also see it appear in the Accounts tab.
