Whitelist our server IP
Enter 187.127.177.38 as the whitelisted IP. Delta only accepts trading keys that are restricted to an IP.

Confirm and copy
Confirm with your 2FA / email code, then copy the API Key and API Secret. The secret is shown only once.
- 6
Paste into Kestrel
Open Exchanges & keys → Delta Exchange India, paste the key and secret and click Save. We check the key with Delta immediately.
Fund your futures wallet
Keep enough balance in Delta for margin. Kestrel sets the leverage for each coin automatically; check that Margin mode is Isolated in Delta's settings.
If saving the key fails
- "Signature Mismatch" or an IP error
- The key's whitelisted IP is not 187.127.177.38, or the secret was copied incompletely. Fix the key on Delta and save it again.
- "SignatureExpired"
- A temporary clock difference; wait a minute and save again.
Kestrel stores keys encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and checks them live with Delta Exchange India before saving.
