Getting Started
A step-by-step guide to setting up Airavat, connecting Bybit, and enabling execution responsibly.
This section walks you through the minimum steps required to use Airavat safely and intentionally.
Airavat is an execution layer. It does exactly what you tell it to do — no more, no less. Getting started is about defining intent, setting boundaries, and verifying that execution behaves exactly as expected before any real capital is involved.
Step 1: Create an Account
Create your Airavat account at Airavat.xyz.
At this stage:
No capital is connected
No trading permissions are granted
Nothing can execute
You are simply creating an identity inside the system.
Currently, an invite code is required to create an account. If you don’t have one, click Request invite on the website and enter your email address. We are onboarding users in batches, and you should receive an invite code shortly.
Step 2: Connect Your Exchange (Bybit)
Airavat executes trades using your exchange account.
To do this, you connect your exchange via API keys.
What to do
Create API keys on Bybit
Grant only the permissions you intend Airavat to use
Do not enable withdrawals
Optionally restrict the API key by IP (recommended)
Once your API keys are created:
Head to the Airavat chat dashboard
Type
Loginif you are not already logged in and provide your credentials when promptedType
Add API keyand follow the steps to add your API key and secret
Important
Airavat cannot:
Access funds outside the permissions you grant
Bypass exchange-level limits
Override margin rules, liquidation rules, or exchange safeguards
If something is not allowed by your API keys, Airavat cannot do it.
Step 3: Verify Permissions & Limits
Before any strategy or execution is enabled, verify the following on your exchange account:
Which markets are accessible (spot, futures, options)
Whether leverage is enabled or disabled
Margin mode (cross vs isolated)
Position size limits
Risk limits set at the exchange level
Airavat does not auto-configure these for you. You may adjust certain parameters conversationally within Airavat, but all limits are ultimately enforced at the exchange level.
Step 4: Enable Execution (Carefully)
When you are ready, you can begin real trading.
Best practices
Start with small position sizes
Review all confirmation messages carefully before typing
yesornoReview every executed trade directly on the exchange
Airavat does not perform any actions automatically unless you explicitly instruct it to do so. It executes exactly what you define, within the constraints you set.
A Note on Responsibility
Once execution is enabled:
Every trade is yours
Every outcome is yours
Airavat is the execution mechanism, not the decision-maker
If something behaves unexpectedly, disable execution immediately and review logs and permissions. If you need clarification or want an issue looked into, contact [email protected] with as much detail as possible.
