Backpack Exchange Integration

A step-by-step guide on how to link your Backpack Exchange account to Awaken.

Written by Andrew Duca

If you use the Backpack Exchange, Awaken automatically supports importing the following activity via API integration:

  • Spot Trades

  • Withdrawals

  • Deposits

  • Subaccount transfers

  • Dust conversions

If you lend/borrow or trade perps on Backpack though and need assistance, email team@awaken.tax and we'll see what we can do.

Below is a quick walkthrough on how to add your Backpack Exchange information to Awaken:

Walkthrough:

1. In the top right of your Backpack account, click on the portfolio icon.

2. Once you are on the portfolio page, click on the "Settings" tab. And then click on the "Add API key" button.

3. Create the API key, you can label it something like "Awaken Tax", and make it a read-only key.

4. You'll want to then copy the API key and the API secret and add them to Awaken under the "Backpack" integration during the "Add account" flow

Important:

If you used Backpack sub accounts, you'll need to click into each of them and follow this flow to get an API key for each sub account. And then add the API keys to Awaken. Awaken will merge all of the activity together to give you a holistic tax report.
