Step 1: Preparation

Obtain the fund manager’s wallet address
If the fund manager is not registered, the assignment will fail.
2.1 Prerequisites
Creating a Sub Account requires your main account to have reached 100,000 USDC trading volume.
2.2 Create Sub Account
Connect Wallet
Connect your main wallet.
Navigate to Sub Accounts
Find Sub Accounts in the menu.
Create Sub Account
Click Create Sub Account, enter a name and confirm creation.
2.3 Create API Key for Sub Account
Enter Sub Account
Select the Sub Account you just created.
Create API Key
Click API, create a new API Key.
Save Private Key
Important: Securely save the private key - it’s only shown once.
Each Sub Account must have its own API Key! While one API Key can technically operate all Sub Accounts, due to Nonce mechanism limitations, one API Key cannot operate multiple Sub Accounts simultaneously, otherwise trading conflicts will occur. Qubit Alpha requires: One Sub Account = One dedicated API Key.
2.4 Set Up Builder Fee
Visit Settings Page
Go to Qubit Alpha Builder Fee Settings page.
Connect Wallet
Connect your main wallet.
Complete Authorization
Follow the on-page instructions to complete Builder Fee authorization.
If Builder Fee is not set, import validation will fail.
