Northdesk

What It Does

Northdesk is a request-for-quote desk built for funds, treasuries and other teams that move size. Instead of working a large order through the order book, you ask for a firm price, see it for a few seconds and accept or let it expire.

Filled trades settle into your Cryptor Institutional account, where they show up next to your other activity, count toward your reporting and stay covered by the same custody setup as the rest of your balance.

How to Connect

1. In Cryptor, go to Settings → API keys and create a key with the Trade permission only.

2. Restrict the key to the IP addresses Northdesk lists in its setup guide.

3. Paste the key into Northdesk under Settlement → Cryptor.

4. Set the pairs and maximum ticket size your team is allowed to trade.

5. Request a test quote and confirm the settlement in your Cryptor history.

Permissions and Security

The key you create is limited to trading. It can read balances and settle accepted quotes, but it cannot withdraw, transfer between accounts or create new keys. An IP allowlist ties it to Northdesk servers.

• Trade-only keys cannot be upgraded to withdrawal access.

• Each key can carry its own daily volume limit.

• Delete a key and every pending quote is cancelled.

Good to Know

Northdesk is available on the Institutional plan. Quotes are firm for the time shown on screen and include all fees, so the amount that settles in Cryptor is exactly the amount you accepted. Your account manager can help set ticket limits.
