Direct Connect is the simplest way to link a supported exchange to KoinX — no API keys, no CSV files. If your exchange supports Direct Connect, you’ll find a “Tax Report with KoinX” option directly inside the exchange’s app. Tap it, link your KoinX account, and your transactions start syncing. It doesn’t get easier than this.

AI Summary

  • Direct Connect is initiated from inside your exchange app — look for a “Tax Report with KoinX” button or option
  • You link your KoinX account directly from the exchange’s interface
  • KoinX gets read-only access — it can see your transactions but cannot trade, withdraw, or modify anything
  • Currently supported only for CoinDCX, SunCrypto, and BitDelta

​
How Direct Connect Works

Direct Connect is exchange-initiated — meaning the flow starts from inside your exchange’s app, not from KoinX. Here’s what the process looks like:
1

Open the exchange app or website

Login into the exchange account using your credentials, if not done already.
2

Look for a "Tax Report with KoinX" option

This is usually in the account menu, reports section, or tax-related settings inside the exchange.
3

Tap or click this button

You’ll be prompted to link your KoinX account. Once linked, KoinX receives read-only access to your transaction data
4

Your transactions start syncing into KoinX

At no point do you need to generate or paste API keys. The exchange handles the connection, you just approve it from their side.
Currently, Direct Connect is supported for CoinDCX, SunCrypto, and BitDelta.

​
What Data Can KoinX Access?

With Direct Connect, KoinX can typically see:
  • Your trade history (spot, and sometimes futures/derivatives)
  • Deposits and withdrawals
  • Transaction timestamps and amounts
KoinX cannot:
  • Place trades on your behalf
  • Initiate withdrawals or transfers
  • Modify any account settings
  • See your password, 2FA codes, or security settings
Think of Direct Connect like granting a read-only view to an accountant. They can see your records but can’t touch your money.

​
What If My Exchange Account Uses a Different Email?

Direct Connect primarily matches accounts based on email. If your exchange email is different from your KoinX login email, the connection may not detect your account automatically. To fix this, go to KoinX → Account Settings → Add Email and add the email address associated with your exchange account. Once added, the system will detect the corresponding account and connect the correct data.

​
Revoking Direct Connect

If you want to disconnect, go to KoinX → Integrations, find the exchange, and unlink the integration. Deleting Direct Connect means removing the integration. When you delete the integration from your account, all previously imported data from that exchange is also removed from KoinX. If you relink later, the data will be re-imported.

​
Common Issues / Edge Cases

Not all exchanges expose every transaction type through their integration. Staking rewards, funding fees, and P2P trades may not come through. Use a File Upload to fill gaps.
Remove the integration from KoinX and redo the setup, making sure to log into the correct exchange account during the authorisation step.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Direct Connect is currently available only for CoinDCX, SunCrypto, and BitDelta. If your exchange is not listed, use API or File Upload instead.
KoinX can see everything the exchange shares through the integration. Most exchanges provide full trade history, deposits, and withdrawals. However, some may not expose certain transaction types (like staking rewards or OTC trades). Check your imported transactions to verify completeness.
