# How to Connect Stoic

1. After you pay fees, Stoic will ask you to choose between Binance Global and Binance US.

2\. Then you will be shown a scan screen to point to the QR-code of your API-keys. You will be connected within seconds.

{% hint style="info" %}

* The API key management is not supported by the Binance mobile app or by the mobile version of the Binance website.\
  **Please use the desktop version of the website to proceed.**
* Stoic will manage **all funds available** in your Spot balance. Thus, if you don't want to get some of your funds sold by Stoic when it will form a top 30 altcoins portfolio, it is recommended to use a separate Binance account or a Binance sub-account.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note: **Secret key should be visible** when scanning, so keys need to be freshly created.
