Generate Subkey
paradex_generate_subkeyGenerate a Paradex subkey keypair locally, keeping the private key secure, and output the public key for agent trading registration.
Instructions
Generate a Paradex keypair for use as a subkey.
The private key is persisted locally and never leaves the machine.
Only the public key is returned so the frontend can register it on
Paradex on behalf of the agent.
Use this tool when you need to:
- Provision a new subkey for agent trading
- Create a keypair before registering the public key on Paradex
Example use cases:
- Setting up a new agent with its own trading subkey
- Rotating to a fresh subkey for an existing accountInput Schema
