Unlock smarter trading with Sub-Accounts!
At BSX, we’re bridging the feature parity gap between CEXs and DEXs by bringing centralized exchange features on-chain, starting with Sub-Accounts! Take control of your trading strategies like a pro: use your main account for high-leverage trades (up to 1000x), while Sub-Accounts offer safer, controlled trading with limited features. It’s the perfect solution for separating strategies and managing risk, all on one seamless platform.

How to use Sub-Accounts on BSX
Step 1: Access your wallet

Step 3: Trading from a sub-account
There are two ways to log into your new sub-account
If you are currently in the master account then on the trade page click trade next to the sub-account and you will automatically switch into that sub-account
If you are giving the sub-account to a team member, make sure to provide them with the private key only for that sub-account which they can use to connect through a wallet of their choice. From here they can directly connect to BSX
On the Trade Page, Sub-Accounts only show Trade (Perpetuals), Portfolio, and More.
Sub-Accounts have NO access to Deposit, Withdraw, or Transfers keeping it safe and private
Switch back to Main Account anytime to access full features (Only if you are already in the Main Account Wallet)
