Coincheck is a cryptocurrency exchange based in Japan that was founded in 2014. The platform allows users to buy, sell, many kinds of cryptocurrencies.
APIs, or application programming interfaces, are a way for different software programs to communicate with each other. Coincheck provides several APIs to enable users to automate their trading strategies, access market data, and manage their accounts. These APIs allow users to place orders, retrieve their order history, and monitor real-time market data.
One of the most popular APIs offered by Coincheck is the Exchange API. This API allows users to place orders, retrieve their trade history, and access real-time market data. The Exchange API supports both REST and WebSocket protocols, which allows for fast and reliable data transmission.
Coincheck also provides a Trading API, which is geared towards more advanced users who want to create custom trading bots. The Trading API allows users to place advanced orders, such as stop-loss orders, and retrieve their trade history.
In terms of security, Coincheck has had a rocky history. In 2018, the exchange suffered a major hack in which approximately $530 million worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen. This incident led to a significant loss of trust in the platform and highlighted the importance of proper security protocols in the cryptocurrency industry.
Following the hack, Coincheck took several measures to improve its security protocols. The exchange now stores the majority of its customers’ assets in cold storage, which is an offline storage method that is less susceptible to hacks. Coincheck also performs regular security audits and penetration tests to ensure that its systems are secure.
In addition to these measures, Coincheck has also implemented a two-factor authentication (2FA) system to prevent unauthorized access to users’ accounts. This system requires users to provide a second factor, such as a code sent to their phone, in addition to their username and password.
Coincheck is also registered with the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) and complies with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. This means that the exchange is required to verify the identity of its users and monitor their transactions for suspicious activity.
