Before you start the setup process, confirm that your server and accounts meet the requirements below.

unCoded is self-hosted and requires a reliable server with the following minimum specifications:| Component | Minimum requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | 2 vCPUs |
| RAM | 4 GB |
| Storage | 50 GB NVMe SSD |

2. Account requirements
Binance account
You need a verified Binance account to trade with unCoded.- Create your account: Use the official referral link to activate a 20% fee discount and ensure full bot functionality.
- Configure your account: Follow the Binance setup guide to create your sub-account and generate the API key used to connect with unCoded.
- BNB for fees: Keep at least $50 in BNB (Recommended) on your account at all times so trading fees are covered automatically.
Telegram account
Your Telegram bot is used to manage alerts and send trading updates directly to you.Create your own Telegram bot
Use @BotFather to create a new bot. You will receive a Bot Token that you will need during configuration.
Set up a Telegram group and get your Chat ID
Create a Telegram group and add both your new bot and @my_id_bot to it. Send
/id@my_id_bot in the group to retrieve your Group Chat ID. Make sure your bot has administrator rights in the group.Capital requirements
To run unCoded effectively, your Binance account should be funded as follows:- Minimum trading capital: $2,000 in USDC (Recommended)
- Reserve: Keep at least 50% of your trading capital as a reserve to handle market fluctuations
Running with less than $2,000 in USDC will reduce the bot’s ability to execute its strategy effectively. The reserve is not traded — it acts as a buffer during drawdowns.
