// FAQ
Why does the API-key question matter so much?
The 3Commas 2022 leak drained six figures from trade-only keys. If a bot runs inside your exchange, no third party ever holds your keys - that entire risk class disappears. See our incident timeline.
Do exchange-native bots have limits?
Yes: only that exchange's markets, fewer strategy types, no cross-exchange logic. For grid and DCA use cases the coverage is excellent.
