Setup

Connect Your Bot

This guide walks you through everything you need to get the bot running: setting up MetaMask, funding your account, creating an API Wallet on AsterDex, and linking it to LazyEye.

Setting up and connecting is easiest on a computer or laptop with the MetaMask browser extension. Your dashboard itself you can then check from any device.
1

Install MetaMask

MetaMask is a browser wallet that lets you connect to AsterDex. If you already have MetaMask, skip to step 2.

  1. Go to metamask.io/download and install the browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge).
  2. Click "Create a new wallet", set a strong password, and write down your 12-word seed phrase on paper.
Critical: Your seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet. Store it offline in a safe place. Never share it with anyone.

Fund Your MetaMask Wallet

You fund your MetaMask wallet with the USDT the bot trades with, plus a little BNB for gas fees. You do this by buying BNB, sending it to the BNB Smart Chain, and swapping most of it for USDT inside MetaMask.

Recommended: start with at least $1,000. There is a small fixed monthly platform fee (€6 incl. VAT) that covers server costs even in quiet months, so on a very small balance it weighs relatively heavily. From around $1,000 it stays a modest part of your account. You can start with less, but keep the fixed fee in mind.
  1. Buy BNB on an exchange like Coinmerce or Bitvavo.
  2. Withdraw the BNB to your MetaMask wallet address and select the BNB Smart Chain (BSC / BEP-20) network.
  3. In MetaMask, swap most of your BNB to USDT. Keep a little BNB for gas fees.
Important: Always select BSC / BEP-20 as the withdrawal network. Using Ethereum (ERC-20) or any other network will result in lost funds. Send a small test amount first ($5) to verify.

Deposit Into AsterDex

  1. Go to AsterDex Perpetuals and click "Connect Wallet" in the top right to connect MetaMask. If you are not on the BNB Smart Chain network yet, AsterDex asks to add or switch to it, confirm that in MetaMask.
  2. Click the "Deposit" button, select USDT, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction in MetaMask.
  3. Wait for the blockchain confirmation (usually under a minute on BSC). Your USDT balance on AsterDex will update automatically.
Tip: Test with a small amount first (e.g. $5-$10) to confirm the deposit arrives correctly on AsterDex, then deposit the rest.
4

Create an API Wallet on AsterDex

The API Wallet lets the bot open and close positions on your own account. It never has access to withdraw your funds.

  1. Go to asterdex.com/en/api-wallet (make sure MetaMask is connected).
  2. Switch to the "Pro API" tab. Ignore the "Session wallets" that are already listed. Those are automatically created by AsterDex and not what we need.
  3. Click "Authorize new API wallet". Give it a name (e.g. "LazyEye") and click "Generate".
  4. IMPORTANT: Copy and save the private key shown on screen. It will NOT be shown again after you click Authorize.
  5. Make sure "Read" and "Perps trading" are checked. Set days valid to 365, then click "Authorize" and confirm in MetaMask.
Save these 3 values. You’ll need them in the next step:
  • Your Login Wallet address (shown top-right on AsterDex)
  • The API Wallet address
  • The API Wallet private key
5

Create Your LazyEye Account

A bot account is created by invitation. Don't have an invite link yet? Email info@lazyeye.nl and we'll send you one.
  1. Open app.lazyeye.nl/register via your invite link and create your account with your email and a strong password.
  2. Verify your email address by clicking the link in the confirmation email.
  3. Log in to your dashboard.
6

Enter Credentials & Activate

  1. In the dashboard, go to the API Wallet page.
  2. Enter the three values you saved in step 4:
    • Login Wallet address
    • API Wallet address
    • API Wallet private key
  3. Click Save. The bot will validate your credentials.
  4. Activate your bot. It starts trading automatically from that moment.
The bot runs 24/7 on our servers. You don’t need to keep your computer on or any app open. From the dashboard you can track all positions, profit history, and your bot’s status in real time.

Security Reminders

  • Never share your MetaMask seed phrase or API Wallet private key with anyone.
  • LazyEye never asks for your seed phrase. You only ever enter your three API Wallet values, and only on the official app.lazyeye.nl. We never ask for your keys by email, chat, Telegram, or phone. Any such request is a scam.
  • Never enable withdrawal permissions on the API Wallet. The bot doesn’t need them, so it can trade but can never move your funds.
  • Your API Wallet keys are never stored in our central database. They go straight to your own bot and are used only there.
  • You can revoke your API Wallet at any time from the AsterDex API Wallet page. If anything feels off, revoke first and ask us afterwards.
