    At BYDFi, we understand the importance of securing your Coinbase API key. To enhance the security of your API key, we recommend using a hardware wallet to store your funds. Hardware wallets provide an extra layer of protection by keeping your private keys offline and away from potential online threats. Additionally, consider implementing rate limits for your API key to prevent abuse or unauthorized access. Rate limits restrict the number of requests that can be made within a specific time frame, helping to prevent potential attacks. Lastly, regularly review Coinbase's security guidelines and stay updated on any new security features or recommendations they provide. Remember, the security of your API key is crucial for the safety of your funds and personal information.
