Last updated 2026-05-13

Symptoms

  • Exchange state shows PERMISSIONS_INVALID
  • Connection validation fails on submit

Likely causes

  • Missing order scopes
  • Withdrawal enabled
  • Key generated for wrong environment

Why this happens

QuantumEdge validates scope boundaries to preserve non-custodial safeguards.

Recovery steps

  1. Generate a new Kraken key with required query/trade scopes.
  2. Disable withdrawal and transfer permissions.
  3. Reconnect with the newly generated key.

Escalation path

  • Contact support if the key matches scope requirements but still fails validation.
