Backpack
Starting from version 7.1, the Tiger.com terminal supports connecting to the Backpack exchange with the ability to trade spot and futures instruments (in USDC), receive real-time and historical market data, and synchronize balances, orders, and positions.
To set up the connection, follow these steps:
Registration
Register on the Backpack exchange website.
Verification
After registration, the exchange will prompt you to complete verification. If the KYC procedure is successful, you will see the following message on the corresponding page:
Click the "Start Trading" button to proceed with further setup.
API Permissions
Enter an arbitrary key name.
To perform trading operations via API keys, the "Read Only" toggle must be left disabled.
If you want a system-generated public key, leave the "Public Key" field empty.
Otherwise, you must provide a key created using the Ed25519 algorithm and presented as a base64 string.
Connecting in the Terminal
Launch Tiger.com app and select File → Connections →Setup from the main menu.
In the window that opens, click the + Create New Connection button and select Backpack from the list that appears.
