Step 1: Get your Kalshi API Key

  1. Go to kalshi.com and create a free account (requires US ID verification).
  2. Fund your account with at least a small balance (Aurora won't place trades without available margin).
  3. In your Kalshi dashboard, navigate to Settings → API Keys.
  4. Click Create API Key. Select RSA key type.
  5. Copy your Key ID (looks like: abc123de-f456-...).
  6. Download the private key file (.pem). Keep this safe — you'll need it in Step 3.
  7. Make sure the API key has trading permissions enabled.
⚠️ Your Kalshi private key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored in our database. We never store it in plaintext.

Step 2: Get your Grok API Key

  1. Go to console.x.ai and sign in with your X (Twitter) account.
  2. Navigate to API Keys in the dashboard.
  3. Click Create API Key and copy the key (starts with xai-...).
  4. The free tier includes enough credits to run Aurora's 30-minute analysis cycles. Usage is roughly ~$0.50–2/day depending on market volume.
  5. Aurora uses grok-4.20-0309-reasoning model with web search enabled for each trade decision.
💡 Aurora uses live web search on every cycle — this is what gives it an edge over models with stale training data.
Security: All keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM immediately on receipt and stored only as ciphertext. We cannot view your keys.

These are your bot's trading parameters. You can adjust them anytime from your portal.
