## **⚠️Notes**

#### **Uniqueness:**

Each API key is unique and specifically designed for accessing VelaFi’s production environment.

#### **Storage Recommendations:**

<mark style="color:orange;background-color:orange;">Immediately store your API key in a secure location after generating it, as you will not be able to view it again once you leave the page.</mark>

<mark style="color:orange;background-color:orange;">Do not store your API key on public devices or in public locations, and avoid saving it in plaintext format.</mark>

<mark style="color:orange;background-color:orange;">Recommendation: Use encryption tools or a password manager to securely store your API key and prevent accidental exposure.</mark>
