# Direct Connect - Deep Dive

> See how Direct Connect links supported exchanges to KoinX from inside the app, giving read-only access that keeps your crypto tax data in sync with minimal setup.

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.

<Card icon="sparkles" title="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:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the exchange app or website">
    Login into the exchange account using your credentials, if not done already.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Look for a &#x22;Tax Report with KoinX&#x22; option">
    This is usually in the account menu, reports section, or tax-related settings inside the exchange.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your transactions start syncing into KoinX" />
</Steps>

At no point do you need to generate or paste API keys. The exchange handles the connection, you just approve it from their side.

<Note>
  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

<Info>
  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

<Accordion title="Direct Connect succeeded but some transaction types are missing">
  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.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="I connected the wrong exchange account">
  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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Direct Connect available for all exchanges?">
    No. Direct Connect is currently available only for **CoinDCX, SunCrypto, and BitDelta**. If your exchange is not listed, use API or File Upload instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can KoinX see all my trades via Direct Connect?">
    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.
