This post goes through how paying for Burokku works: why it's stablecoins, why it's one period at a time, what you get without paying at all, and what happens when what you paid for runs out.

First, early access

While paid plans open, every account has everything. The limits on the pricing page are shown so you know where you'd land, but nothing is held back yet. You don't need to pay for anything to use Burokku today. What follows is how it works when you choose a plan.

Why stablecoins

Burokku is a tool for money that lives onchain, so paying for it from a wallet, in dollars you may already hold there, is the payment that fits. Here's what that looks like:

• Prices are in US dollars, and you pay them in USDC or USDT, on most chains.
• You pay on our payment partner's hosted checkout page. Burokku never sees your wallet.
• A plan starts once the full amount has arrived. Before your plan moves, we check the payment itself, never just a page saying it went through. If the full amount lands after the checkout page has expired, it still counts.
• Every payment is on record. Each one that goes through has a receipt you can print or save as a PDF, and is written to your account's audit log. How security works explains what that log keeps.

Card payments are coming. Until then, stablecoins are the way to pay.

One period at a time

You buy a month or a year. The plan runs to the end of what you paid, and then it stops. Nothing renews by itself, so you're never charged without choosing to pay.

A few things follow from building it this way:

• Paying early never loses days. Pay for another month before the current one ends, and it starts where the last one finishes.
• Switching plans keeps what you paid. Time left on your plan moves over as time on the new one, worth the same. Moving from Pro to Max with a month left gives you about ten days of Max on top of what you buy.
• A period ends on the same day next month or next year. Pay on the 31st, and a shorter month ends on its last day.
• Pressing pay twice doesn't make two orders. An open checkout for the same plan is used again for half an hour.

What you get on Free

Free is free for as long as you like, and every plan reads every chain and venue. Free includes:

• 3 accounts: wallets, exchanges and perps
• 5 price alerts
• 3 followed wallets
• 30 Burokku AI answers a month
• 1 workflow
• Burokku's swap fee of 0.85%, on top of what the route charges

What Free leaves out is watching while you're away. On Free, your wallets are read while you look, so portfolio alerts (on your net worth, a loan's health or money leaving a wallet) come with Pro and Max. See alerts for what they tell you.

Monthly or yearly

The two plans you can choose yourself each come either way, paid in one go:

• Pro, for a real portfolio: $16 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 once a year). It includes 15 accounts, 8 wallets watched while you're away, portfolio alerts and 100 price alerts, 1,000 Burokku AI answers a month, a tax report each year and a swap fee of 0.5%.
• Max, for active traders: $49 a month, or $39 a month billed yearly ($468 once a year). It includes 50 accounts, 20 wallets watched while you're away, 3,000 Burokku AI answers a month, 50 workflows and recurring buys, and a swap fee of 0.25%.

Yearly saves 25% on Pro and about 20% on Max. It's still one payment for one period: a year runs out the same way a month does, and nothing carries on after it without you.

Team and Enterprise are coming soon. Team, for a company or a fund, will be $199 a month or $169 billed yearly, with 5 seats, 50 shared accounts, roles and shared dashboards. Enterprise starts from $1,500 a month billed yearly, by invoice or in USDC. If either is what you need, talk to us.

When a period ends

A week before a paid plan ends, Burokku tells you once, in the app and by email if your account has one: your plan ends within a week, and nothing renews by itself. To keep it, pay for another month or year from Plan & billing in Settings.

If you don't, your account goes back to Free when the period ends. Nothing you've added is deleted. Free's limits apply to what you add next, and your wallets go back to being read while you look rather than while you're away. You can choose a plan again whenever you like, and it starts from the day you pay.

That's all there is to it: you choose when to pay and for how long, and Burokku never takes money you didn't send. Compare the plans side by side, or read why we built Burokku in the first place.

What a read-only key can and can't do

A key with only reading turned on lets Burokku see:

• your balances in each wallet inside the account: spot, funding, earn, futures and the rest;
• your open futures positions;
• your history: deposits, withdrawals, trades and funding payments.

It can't place, change or cancel an order, and it can't withdraw or transfer anything. If someone copied it, they could look at your balances and nothing more.

Exchanges don't name these permissions the same way, so we read each one's own answer rather than guess:

• Binance lists internal and universal transfers apart from withdrawals. We count both as withdrawing.
• Kraken has separate rights for adding or changing a withdrawal address. We count those as withdrawing too.
• Bybit makes a key either read-only or read-write. Only a read-only one connects for reading.
• Coinbase has one right that covers moving funds in and out. A key with it is refused.

How to create a read-only Binance API key walks through one exchange's screens; Burokku shows you each exchange's own steps when you connect it.

How Burokku checks a key before keeping it

When you paste a key, Burokku asks the exchange what the key may do before it stores anything. A key connected for reading must be able to read, and must not be able to trade or withdraw. If it can do either, it's turned away and you're told which right to take off. Nothing is saved.

Why refuse a key that can withdraw, even if you trust us? Because the safest key to hold is one that can't move money at all: a stolen copy can't empty your account. So we never accept one "just in case".

A key that passes is read once there and then, so you see your real balances before you name the account. Where the exchange tells us whose account a key belongs to (Bybit does), a second key for an account you've already added is turned away, so it isn't counted twice.

The check doesn't end at connecting. Burokku asks the exchange about each key's permissions again once a day. If a read-only key has gained the right to trade or withdraw, Burokku deletes it, keeps your last balances on screen, and tells you once, in the app and by email. Connecting a key, and a key we deleted, both go in your account's audit log.

Where your key lives

A key you connect is encrypted on our servers with a key made for your account alone, and bound to that account and that exchange, so a copy moved anywhere else won't open. Nothing outside your account's own space ever sees the plain key.

Once you've pasted it, the key is never sent back to a browser, ours or yours. The app shows only its last four characters. How security works covers the rest of what's kept and where.

When a key stops working

Keys stop working for ordinary reasons: you deleted one, changed its IP allowlist, or the exchange ended it. What Burokku does depends on whether the exchange refused the key or is just hard to reach.

• The exchange refuses the key. Once could be the exchange having a moment, so Burokku waits five minutes and tries again. Refused twice in a row, it stops using the key and tells you once, in the app and by email. It won't keep trying in the background; some exchanges lock out a key that keeps failing. It tries again only when you replace the key or ask it to check again.
• The exchange can't be reached. Burokku waits longer between each try, up to an hour, and keeps showing your last balances. The account only says it can't reach the exchange once that has lasted half an hour.

Some keys end on their own: Bybit and Gate end a key without an IP allowlist after about three months. Burokku reminds you a week before, once, so you can paste a new key before your balances stop updating.

How trading keys differ

If you want to place orders from Burokku, you can connect a key for trading instead, on exchanges that support it, such as Binance and Kraken. The rules for that key are different, and stricter:

• It must be able to trade.
• It must not be able to withdraw or transfer. A trading key that can is refused, as a read-only one would be.
• It must be locked to an IP address. Burokku places orders from one fixed IP address, which it shows you when you connect. The key has to be restricted to it, so a copy is useless anywhere else. Where an exchange doesn't report whether a key is locked, we try the key from a different address: if the exchange refuses it there, it's locked.

Turning trading on also takes two-step verification on your Burokku account, and you confirm it with that second step. Every order is then checked against limits you set before it's sent.

The daily check applies here too. A trading key that gains the right to withdraw, or loses its IP lock, is deleted and you're told once. One that loses its trading right goes back to reading your account. Trading in Burokku explains how orders are priced and checked.

If you're unsure, start with a read-only key. You can see every balance, position and trade beside your wallets, and the key can't move anything. You can add a trading key later, or never.

So every automation answers to a few rules. None of them is a setting you can forget to tick; they're how a run works.

Nothing runs that you haven't read

You can build a workflow on the canvas, start from a template, or describe it to Burokku AI in a sentence. Either way, you see every step first.

• A draft from Burokku AI is a proposed change. The canvas marks new, changed and removed steps, and the review lists every setting before and after. Nothing changes until you choose Accept; Discard drops it.
• Some steps Burokku AI never adds. Webhooks, transfers and exchange orders are only ever set up by you.
• History keeps each version with who made it: you, Burokku AI, or both, when you edited its change before saving. You can see what any version changed and restore it.
• A test run changes nothing. It walks every step with real prices and your portfolio and shows what each would do. Nothing is sent, signed or traded.

The guide to setting up your first automation goes through building and testing one.

Most steps get money ready instead of moving it

When a workflow reaches a step that moves money, it usually hands the decision back to you. A swap from your own wallet becomes a link to review and sign, and the run waits under "Waiting for you" for up to 48 hours. An exchange order opens for you to confirm. A repay, deposit, claim or revoke opens its review for you to sign. A transfer becomes a request you approve with your passkey, and it can only go to one of your own connected wallets.

One money step acts by itself: a trade from your trading wallet. That wallet is owned by your passkey, and Burokku can trade from it under rules only your passkey changes; it can never send funds out of it. Even then, each trade has to pass three checks every time it runs.

Three checks on every trade that runs by itself

Automations are switched on. One switch in Settings → Security covers your whole account: on, paused or off. Turning it on needs a second step (a passkey or an authenticator app), unused backup codes, agreeing to a warning about what automations can do, and a fresh check with that second step. Pausing or turning it off never asks for anything. The switch is read again before every trade. After any change to your second steps, nothing can turn automations on or confirm a trade for 24 hours, so someone who adds their own passkey to your account can't use it straight away. Locking your account pauses automations and signs out every session, without needing your second step.

The trade is confirmed as it stands. You confirm a workflow's trades with your second step, and Burokku keeps a fingerprint of each: the coins, the amount, the chain, and the trigger with its settings. Change any of them, by hand or by accepting a draft from Burokku AI, and it needs confirming again. Run now never makes a trade either; trades run only when the trigger fires, so a signed-in session alone can't make the wallet trade on demand.

It stays within your caps. Your trading wallet has a limit per trade and a limit per day. You can lower them whenever you like; raising them asks for your second step, and they never go above Burokku's own ceiling. Every quote is checked too: if the best price is more than 3% worse than the market, nothing is traded.

What a held run looks like

When a check says no, the run stops at that step and says why in a sentence: "Automations are off or paused, so nothing was traded," or that your trading wallet needs a little ETH for network fees. It shows on Automations under Runs, and you're told once. What happens next depends on the reason:

• Reasons that can clear are held. Automations paused, no gas or funds, a trade not confirmed, the day's limit reached: the trade is tried again at each check, from the step where it stopped. The messages before it aren't sent again, and you aren't told again for the same reason.
• Attempts that fail get three tries. No route, or a price too far from the market, is tried three times, so a swap that keeps failing can't keep spending network fees.
• Trades that can never work stop. One over your per-trade limit, or a pair Burokku can't trade, ends the run.
• A held trade waits a day at most. After that it's dropped with "The trade waited a day without going through, so Burokku stopped trying". By then the moment that set it off has passed.

Each trade Burokku tries for you, made or stopped by a check, goes in your account's audit log with its outcome, along with every confirmation, every change to your limits and every workflow you create or edit.

Why we built it this way

We'd rather an automation wait and tell you than act on a guess. A held trade costs you a notification. A trade you didn't mean costs you money, and no undo button gives it back.

That's also why the limits sit beneath the workflow rather than inside it. A workflow can be edited, drafted by Burokku AI or started by a webhook; the switch, the confirmation and the caps stay where they are. See automations for what you can build, and how security works for the rest of the rules. If a limit gets in the way of something you need, tell us.

People who hold crypto are everywhere, and a tool that watches your money is one you should be able to read without squinting. Here is what being in your language means in Burokku, and what it takes.

Whole sentences, not glued pieces

The easy way to translate an app is to translate words and join them: "Sent", then an amount, then "to", then a name. That reads well in English and badly almost everywhere else, because languages put those pieces in different orders.

So Burokku never builds a sentence out of fragments. Each one is translated whole, with the parts that change, like an amount or a token, left as places to fill in. A Japanese or Korean translator decides where the amount goes, not our English word order. Counts get their own forms too, so "1 alert" and "3 alerts" read right in every language.

A few more rules keep it honest:

• One glossary per language, so a term like health factor or approval means the same thing on every screen.
• Some things stay as written: token symbols, chain and protocol names, and other people's words, such as news, posts and project bios.
• Errors in your language. When a wallet or an exchange answers in English, you see our own sentence in your language first, with the original beside it when it's short.
• Room to grow. Screens are laid out for Spanish and Portuguese, which run longer than English, and for denser Chinese, Japanese and Korean, without cutting buttons short.

Numbers, dates and money your way

A wrong-looking number is worse than a wrong word. In English a price is 1.38; in Portuguese it's 1,38. Burokku writes every amount, percentage, date and "5 minutes ago" in your language's own format, everywhere it shows one.

Language and currency are separate choices. You might read Burokku in Japanese and think in dollars, or read it in English and think in reais. Burokku values everything in US dollars underneath and shows it in the currency you pick, from about 150:

• Today's rate for what's live: balances, net worth, prices and positions.
• Each day's own rate for a chart of the past, so a year of net worth in euros shows what the euro did too.
• Dollars for what moves or triggers: orders, swaps, fees and alert levels, so a limit you set doesn't drift with the exchange rate.

A new account starts in dollars whatever its language, because a surprise currency reads as a wrong number. Change it in Settings → Preferences. See the portfolio.

What reaches you while you're away

Translating the screens is the visible half. The other half is everything Burokku sends when the app isn't open:

• Alerts by email, push and Telegram are written in your language, with their amounts in your format.
• The weekly summary comes in your language and your time zone.
• Sign-in codes and security notices come in the language you last used Burokku in.
• The Telegram bot answers in your account's language, or your Telegram app's if it doesn't know yours yet.
• Burokku AI replies in the language Burokku is in, and switches when you do, keeping token symbols and chain names as they are. See Burokku AI.

An alert about a loan near liquidation is the one message you can't afford to misread. See alerts.

News and research in the language you choose

Research and news come from Qoory, our sister product, and read in your language by default. Headlines, narratives and project summaries are translated where they can be; a story that hasn't been is shown as it was written, in English or, for Chinese readers, in Chinese.

You can also pick a different language for news alone. Someone who uses Burokku in English might want news in Japanese, or the other way round. Choose it under "News and research in" in Settings → Preferences, and news alerts follow it. See research.

Each script its own typeface

The same Chinese character is drawn differently in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese, and Korean has its own letters. Burokku loads each of these languages' own typeface with its words, so a Japanese reader sees Japanese forms, not Chinese ones that look slightly off.

Chinese, Japanese and Korean also get no capital-letter styling or tight letter spacing, which only make sense in Latin scripts, a little more line height for reading, and Korean lines that break between words rather than inside them.

Picking your language

Burokku starts in your browser's language when it's one of the seven: any Spanish reads as Latin American, any Portuguese as Brazilian, and Chinese from Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau as Traditional. To change it, use the language menu in the top bar, the More menu on a phone, or Settings → Preferences. The page waits until the new language is in, so it never shows half translated, and keeps your place.

If a translation reads wrong to you, or a term isn't what people in your market say, tell us. The first post covers what else Burokku does.

What it answers from

Burokku AI answers from your own ledger: the wallets you watch on 60+ chains, the 10+ exchanges you can connect with read-only keys, and your DeFi and perp positions, added up the way the rest of Burokku adds them. When you ask a question, it calls tools that read your overview, holdings, positions, activity, performance, approvals and alerts. Those tools run in your browser against the portfolio on your screen, so the numbers in an answer are the numbers you're looking at, for the accounts you have in view. For the market, it also reads research and news.

You decide what it sees. The chat's "What Burokku can see" panel lists your accounts and the groups of tools it may use. Accounts you keep in cold storage stay out of its view unless you switch them on, and you can turn off whole groups: your portfolio, research, alerts and automations, or draft transactions.

Why it drafts instead of doing

Every tool Burokku AI has either reads or drafts. None of them signs, sends or saves anything. When it suggests a swap, a repay, an alert or a workflow, what you get is a card under the answer, and nothing has happened yet.

A language model is good at reading a ledger and explaining it, and isn't something you should hand a wallet to. It can misread a request, and it reads text other people wrote (more on that below). Keeping it to drafts means the worst a bad answer can do is put a card in front of you that you decline.

It also keeps the rules in one place. A draft goes through the same review, checks and signing as anything you set up yourself; Burokku AI has no path of its own to your money.

How a draft becomes something real

What happens next depends on what it drafted, but you're always the step that makes it real:

• A swap, bridge, repay, claim or revoke from your wallet opens in the usual review, and you sign it in your own wallet. A transfer it drafts can only go between your own accounts.
• An order on an exchange or a perp DEX shows the live price, you confirm it there, and it's checked against the same rules as an order you place yourself. How trading works.
• An alert is a card you create or adjust. Nothing is saved until you confirm it.
• A workflow opens in the builder as a change, not an edit. You see each step that's new, changed or removed, with every setting before and after, and you accept or discard it. A new workflow it writes starts paused, and History keeps every saved change with who made it: you, Burokku AI, or both.

Some workflow steps it isn't allowed to write at all: a transfer, an exchange order, a webhook that sends a run's values out, or an incoming webhook. If you want those, you add them in the builder yourself. See automations.

One case is worth spelling out. A trading wallet is a wallet your passkey owns and that Burokku trades from within limits you set, and Burokku AI can draft a swap from it. The card gets a live quote first. Burokku makes the swap only when you press Swap, and only if automations are on, your account isn't locked and you have a second step set up. Above $250 you confirm it with that second step too. The swap stays on one chain, counts against the same limits as any other trade from that wallet, and what you get back stays in the trading wallet. The model drafted it; your confirm is what trades.

Why we treat what it writes as untrusted

Burokku AI reads news, posts, project bios and token names, and any of those can carry text written to steer a model: an instruction to send funds somewhere, a link dressed up as a source. We can't stop it reading that. We can make sure nothing it writes acts without you seeing where it really goes.

• Links show their real site. A link in an answer always shows the site it goes to, drops the extra parameters that could carry your data out, and opens in a new tab. A link to a bare IP address, or one with a login in it, stays plain text.
• Destinations come from your accounts, not its words. A transfer it drafts is matched to one of your own accounts by name, so it can't route funds to an address it read somewhere.
• Outside data stays away from it in workflows. When a workflow starts from an incoming webhook, the data it receives can fill in a message or a condition, never a money step's settings or Burokku AI.
• Keys stay out of reach. It can't sign, send or use a key. Exchanges and wallets are connected in Burokku's own add-account steps, not in the chat.

How security works goes through the rest of these rules.

What we gave up

An assistant that acted alone would save you a tap. That tap is the point: it's where you see the real amount, the real destination and the live price before anything moves. Burokku AI does the reading and the first draft, and leaves the decision with you, as we said when we introduced Burokku.

If there's a draft you'd like it to write, tell us, or see what Burokku AI does today.

Burokku doesn't send that order. Every order it places for you carries a price, including the ones you mark as market. Here's what that means, what's checked first, and the one place we let an order fill at market on purpose.

What a market order really asks for

A market buy takes the cheapest offers on the book first, then the next ones up, until it's done. If the book is deep, that walk is short. If it's thin, a modest order can climb several levels, and the average you pay ends up well above the price you saw. That gap is slippage.

There's a worse case. A key that can trade but can't withdraw still has a way to lose money: whoever holds it can buy a thin market where they're the seller, at a price they choose. Nothing leaves the account, and the money is gone anyway. That's why the price on every order matters more to us than speed.

What Burokku sends instead

When you choose Market on an exchange trade, Burokku sends a limit order with a price cap, immediate-or-cancel:

• The cap is the live price plus your band for a buy, or minus it for a sell. The band starts at 2%, and you can set it between 0.5% and 5% under Limits.
• Immediate-or-cancel means the order fills now at the cap or better, and whatever can't fill is cancelled.
• When the exchange has its own price limits, the tighter of the two wins.

Before you confirm, the trade sheet shows what the order pays at most, or sells for at least. If the price runs past the cap, you're told plainly: not filled, nothing bought. A partial fill says how much, at what average, and that the rest was cancelled.

A limit order you set yourself has to sit inside the band too: a buy far above the live price is a market order in disguise, at a worse price, so Burokku refuses it.

What's checked first

Each order is checked when you preview it, and again at the live price just before it's sent, against the trading key's limits:

• Markets. Only coins on the key's list, quoted in a stablecoin, so a leaked key can't be pointed at an obscure, thin market. A new key starts with ten large coins, BTC and ETH among them, paid in USDT or USDC.
• Size. At most $500 an order and $2,000 a day to begin with, across what you've traded through Burokku on that key in the last 24 hours. Raising a limit asks for your second step; lowering one never does.
• The exchange's own rules. Amounts are rounded down to its step, never up, and an order below its minimum is refused before it's sent.
• Larger orders. Over $1,000, an order asks for your second step: a passkey or an authenticator code.

Perpetuals follow the same pattern. Opening a position is a priced order within the band, with leverage no higher than the market allows. Closing is reduce-only and immediate-or-cancel at the band's edge; it doesn't count against your limits, since it only lowers your risk, but the band still applies.

On Hyperliquid, Aster and Lighter, orders are priced the same way, with a 2% band, and checked in your browser, where the trading key lives; an open over $1,000 asks for your second step there too. Trading lists where you can trade.

Stop-loss and take-profit fill at market

This one is deliberate. A stop-loss exists for the moment a price falls fast. With a cap, the price could jump straight past it, and the stop would fail exactly when you needed it.

So a stop-loss or take-profit in Burokku is the venue's own close order. The venue holds it, so it works while Burokku is closed, and when the price reaches your trigger (the mark price, on most venues) it closes the whole position at market, or the share you chose. It's safe at market because it can only close, never open or add to a position.

Before it's set, Burokku checks it's on the right side: a long's stop below the live price and its target above (a short's the other way round), at least 0.2% away so it doesn't fire the moment it's placed. If you're shorting to protect coins you hold, hedging with perps covers sizing the short and its margin.

Swaps work by tolerance

A swap from your own wallet has no order book to price against: it's quoted from pools and fills when your transaction lands. The protection is the maximum slippage you set, with the least you'll receive written into the transaction. If the price moves further before it lands, the swap reverts and you pay only the network fee.

• Max slippage starts at 0.5%, with 0.1% and 1% one tap away, and anything from 0.01% to 50% if you type it.
• Above 2%, Burokku warns you that high slippage invites sandwich attacks.
• The review shows the minimum you'll receive, and flags slippage above 1% and losing more than 1% to price impact and fees (more strongly above 3%).

Why we built it this way

An order that fills fast at a price you'd never have accepted is worse than one that doesn't fill. A capped order that misses costs you a retry; one that fills far from the price can cost much more. We'd rather tell you "not filled" than surprise you. How security works covers the rest of what stands between a trading key and your money.

A net worth that's off by one deposit isn't a rounding error. Much of Burokku reads from that number: an alert that one coin has become half of what you own, your exposure across venues, a question you ask Burokku AI. So we decided the total has to count each coin once, even when that makes it smaller than another app's.

One row per coin, wherever it sits

Your assets list has one row for each coin, with every place it sits listed underneath: each account and each chain. On an exchange, the funding, trading and earn wallets add up into one holding that still says where each part is.

Some things don't count at all:

• Tokens that can't be verified. Wallets fill up with airdrops priced on paper. Only verified tokens count.
• Dust with no price. A balance nobody prices is left out of the totals and the lists.
• Coins you leave out. If you think a token is worthless, or don't believe its price, choose "Leave out of net worth". It drops out of your net worth, history and alerts, and your tax report still includes it.
• Wallets you follow. An address you follow is someone else's, and never counts as yours.

Deposits, loans and vaults

A deposit or a loan is counted as a position, not as the receipt token in your wallet. A position's value is what you supplied less what you borrowed, so a loan counts as the equity you have in it. Rewards a position has earned are shown beside it but not added to its value until you claim them.

For Aave, Spark, Morpho and Pendle, we also read the protocol directly, and its own numbers replace the general read on that chain, including each loan's health factor. Apps built on these protocols can list the same loan under their own name; a loan with the same chain, the same tokens on each side and about the same value is counted once.

Between full reads, Burokku runs a lighter check for whether a wallet moved. It sees receipt tokens as ordinary coins, so it only updates prices and never rebuilds your positions.

Vaults have the opposite problem: some vault shares come through as plain tokens. When a vault's share token is already counted among your holdings, the token stays and the separate vault entry is dropped.

A liquidity position counts as the tokens inside it, once, and the token that represents it isn't added on top. Where the position has a price range, you also see whether it's in range and how far the price can move before it stops earning.

Margin belongs to the perps

The collateral behind a perp is money you hold, but it isn't a coin holding. If it were, the USDC backing a short would sit in your USDC row and again in the perp's equity.

• Lighter and Aster. The collateral is a margin balance, counted with the perps it backs and never in your assets.
• Hyperliquid. The account's value already includes open profit and loss, so Burokku splits it: margin is the value less open PnL, and the open PnL is added once.
• Exchanges. Futures margin sits inside the exchange's trading wallet, already counted with its balances, so the Perpetuals card shows it without adding it again. Where an exchange reports both cash and equity, as OKX and Bybit do, Burokku reads the cash, so open PnL isn't counted twice.

So your net worth is your holdings, your DeFi positions net of debt, perp margin and open PnL, and shares in prediction markets, each in exactly one of those places. Cross and isolated margin explains how that margin behaves.

Accounts that overlap

The same money can also arrive through two doors:

• Exchange sub-accounts. Each is connected with its own read-only key and reads only its own account. Where an exchange says which account a key belongs to, a second key for an account Burokku already reads is refused.
• Staking on an exchange. When staked coins already appear as a balance, the staking entry isn't added again.
• An address that's two accounts. If you watch an address and also add it as your Hyperliquid account, Hyperliquid is read once. Accounts Burokku finds on perp DEXes for your wallets are never added twice.
• Imported history. When a move in an exchange's CSV also comes through the exchange's own records, Burokku matches the two and keeps one, so your history, PnL and tax report count it once.

Accounts added by hand

Some holdings nobody can read, like cold storage that's never online or an OTC deal. You can add an account by hand, but you don't type in a balance: you enter the transactions or import them as a CSV, and the holdings are what they add up to. Importing the same file again adds nothing.

These accounts count in your net worth, and Activity, PnL and the tax report count their transactions. Alerts and the weekly summary go without them. The net worth chart has no history for them, so adding one is never drawn as a gain.

What this means for your number

Your total in Burokku can be lower than another app's for the same wallets, for the reasons above: receipt tokens counted with their deposits, airdrops left out, margin counted once. We'd rather the number be smaller and right.

See the portfolio, or start with the guide to tracking every wallet in one place. If a total looks wrong to you, tell us.

We wanted every alert in Burokku to answer two questions on its own: what happened, and what to do about it. If you read nothing but the notification, you should still know whether to act and how.

Two questions, every time

Each alert carries the numbers that matter and the next step, in one or two short sentences. A few of them, as they read in the app:

• A perp near liquidation: which market, long or short, how far it is from liquidation, then the venue, the mark price and the liquidation price, and "Adding margin or reducing the position moves it further away."
• A risky approval: how many, then "Unlimited allowance to an unverified contract. The revoke is ready to sign."
• A wallet sending funds: which wallet sent how much, what the transfer was, and "Tap to see it in your activity."

None of them asks you to go and find out what it means. The clearest example is the one where minutes matter most.

The health factor alert, line by line

Say you borrowed against ETH on Aave and set an alert for when the loan's health factor falls below 1.5. When it does, Burokku sends something like this:

Health factor 1.42 on Aave v3 Below your 1.50 alert. Repaying a little or adding collateral moves you back to safety.

Every part is there for a reason:

• The number and the protocol in the title, so you know where and how far without opening anything.
• Your own line. It says it's below your alert, not a level we picked. A new health factor alert starts at 1.5, well above 1, where the loan can be liquidated, so you're told while there's still room to act. If the number itself is new to you, what a health factor is explains it.
• The two fixes. Repay part of the loan or add collateral. Both raise the health factor; the alert names them so you don't have to remember which way the maths goes at 3am.

It also knows when to stop. The alert fires once when a loan crosses your line, and isn't armed again until every loan is back at least 0.05 above it. You hear about the problem once, not every few minutes while you fix it.

From the alert to the fix

An alert that says what to do should also take you there. Tap the health factor alert and it opens your positions, where an Aave loan in a wallet you've connected has a Repay button, with the amount worked out to bring the health factor back to about 1.6 (as far as that wallet holds the borrowed token), and Add collateral beside it. You see the review first, with what the repay does to the loan, and your wallet signs it. Burokku doesn't.

The risky approval alert goes one step further when you ask it to: it gets the revoke ready, and tapping the alert opens it ready to sign. That link only opens the review for your own signed-in account, within 48 hours. Forwarded to someone else or pasted into a chat, it just fills in the form, so a link can never put a signing prompt in front of anyone.

A wallet you only watch by address can't sign from Burokku: its alerts still say what to do, and you act from the wallet itself. If you can't be there at all, the guide to avoiding liquidation on Aave and Morpho covers guards that repay or add collateral for you within limits you set.

Where it reaches you, and when

Every alert lands in Burokku itself, and each one can also go to Telegram, push on your phone or computer, and email. You choose the channels per alert. On each notice, Burokku records what happened on every channel: sent, held for later, or skipped and why ("Telegram not connected"), so a missing alert is never a mystery.

Night is when a missed alert hurts most, and also when you least want news that can wait until morning. So quiet hours are on by default, 23:00 to 07:30 in your time zone, and hold alerts until they end. Alerts about something falling (a health factor, a perp nearing liquidation, a price through your line, your net worth) get through anyway unless you change that. If you'd rather read everything in one go, alerts can wait for an hourly or daily digest instead.

You can deal with an alert where it reaches you, too. Telegram messages and push notifications have Snooze 1 day and Edit alert, Telegram can turn the alert off, and every email links to the alert itself.

Quiet checks while you're away

An alert is only as good as the checks behind it, and those can't depend on Burokku being open. Alerts that read your accounts are checked every five minutes in the background, and price alerts go off when a price crosses your line.

While you're away, Burokku checks your wallets every hour and reads one in full when a check finds it moved. Your plan sets how many: up to 8 on Pro and 20 on Max, starting with the ones worth the most. Alerts on your own money (health factor, net worth, sends, drawdowns) come with Pro and up; Free includes 5 price alerts. The plans set out the rest.

To get push on your phone, install Burokku from your browser. Then pick the loan you'd least like to be surprised by and give it a line. See every alert Burokku can send.

As little as we can make it. Burokku keeps no private key to any wallet of yours, won't store an exchange key that can withdraw, and never acts for you on a signed-in session alone. Here's how, and what it costs.

Watching needs no keys

You add a wallet by pasting its address or ENS name, on 60+ chains including Solana and Bitcoin; Hyperliquid, Lighter and Aster accounts are read the same way. That's enough to read balances, positions and history. Nothing signs from a watched address, so there's nothing there to take.

To act from one, you connect it and sign each transaction yourself; a hardware wallet signs on the device.

The one kind of key we keep

Exchanges have no address to watch, so reading one takes an API key. It's the only secret Burokku stores, with rules:

• Read-only to connect. Before saving anything, Burokku asks the exchange what the key can do, and refuses one that can trade or withdraw. This guide shows how to make the right one on Binance.
• Sealed to your account. It's encrypted on our servers in a space that belongs to your account alone. A browser, ours or yours, only ever sees its last four characters.
• Checked again every day. A read-only key that later gains trading or withdrawal rights is deleted, and you get an email.

To trade on one of 10+ exchanges from Burokku, you connect a trading key instead. It may trade but must not withdraw or transfer, and it must be locked to the one fixed IP address Burokku's calls leave from, so a copy is useless anywhere else. One that gains withdrawals or loses its lock is deleted too. Trading covers how each order is priced and checked.

A session is never enough

Signing in proves it was you then, not that it's still you now. So anything that lets Burokku act for you takes a fresh check with your passkey (or your authenticator app): turning automations on, connecting a key for trading, raising a limit, setting up a recurring buy, arming a trade to run while you're away. Each check is for that one action, and an armed rule that's edited waits until you confirm it again.

Lowering risk never asks: pausing automations, lowering a limit, closing a position. If you think someone has your session, locking your account pauses automations and signs out every session. Every security change and anything that moves money goes in your audit log; how security works covers each of these.

Trading wallets: yours, with Burokku as a limited signer

Automations that trade while you're away, like a recurring buy or a guard that repays a loan before it's liquidated, need something that can sign without you. We didn't want that to be a key we hold. So Burokku sets up a trading wallet, one for EVM chains and one for Solana, owned by one of your passkeys.

• Your passkey is the owner. Only it can change the rules, remove Burokku, export the key or withdraw. Your browser signs those requests; our servers only pass them on.
• Burokku signs only what the rules allow: same-chain swaps paid back into the wallet, and, for a loan guard, repaying or adding collateral for wallets you've listed, each of which first signs a message proving it's yours. Anything else, including sending funds to another address, is refused. The service that keeps the wallet checks the rules before every signature, and since your passkey owns them, we can't loosen them from our side.

The rules can't stop a stolen Burokku signer making bad-price swaps between the wallet's own tokens. So the wallet holds only what you move into it, and Burokku's own checks come first: your per-trade and daily limits, and a quote that can't fall far below the market. Automations shows how runs are limited.

Perp DEX keys stay in your browser

For Hyperliquid, Aster and Lighter, we went the other way. When you turn trading on, Burokku makes a new key in your browser and your wallet approves it once on the venue. The key never reaches our servers, and none of these keys can send your funds to another address. It's kept encrypted, but script on the page could still use it, which is why Hyperliquid and Aster keys expire after 30 days, trading turns off in one tap, and every order is checked against the same price rules as on an exchange.

What this costs

Some of these fall on you:

• Watched wallets can't act. Burokku can warn you a loan is near liquidation; fixing it from that wallet means signing yourself. While you're away, Burokku acts only from a trading wallet you've funded or with an exchange trading key.
• A trading key is still a key we hold. Our server opens it to place orders. The IP lock, the no-withdrawal rule and our checks limit what it can do; they don't make the risk zero.
• Perp DEX orders come from your browser. There are no automations there yet: a key our server could use is a different kind of trust. When a stop fires, Burokku sees the position close but can't say whether a take-profit, stop-loss or liquidation did it. Each browser approves its own key, and smart wallets can't approve one.
• Trading wallets do less than your own wallets: same-chain swaps on a few chains, no bridging, and some tools can't use them. Anything new needs your passkey to approve new rules.
• More prompts, and after you change your second steps, automations can't be turned on for 24 hours.

We think that's the right trade: a tool that reads all your money shouldn't be an easy way to take it.

We built Burokku so that question takes one look.

What Burokku does today

• Your whole portfolio in one ledger. Add wallets by address, on 60+ chains including Solana and Bitcoin, and 10+ exchanges with read-only keys. Burokku reads balances, DeFi and perp positions and history across all of them, adds them up without counting the same coin twice, and values the lot in the currency you think in. See the portfolio.
• Told when something needs you. It keeps checking while you're away: a loan's health factor getting close to liquidation, a new unlimited approval, one coin quietly becoming half your net worth. It reaches you on Telegram, push or email, with what happened and what to do about it. See alerts.
• Automations that stop where you told them to. A trigger, a condition and an action, built on a canvas or described in a sentence. You review every step before it runs, and each run is checked against your limits. See automations.
• Burokku AI, which reads but doesn't act. Ask your portfolio a question the way you'd ask an analyst: what your exposure to ETH is across every venue, or why your net worth fell this week. It answers from your own ledger and drafts what you might do; you decide. See Burokku AI.
• Trading where you hold. Swap and bridge from your own wallets, trade on exchanges and perp DEXes, and set stop-loss and take-profit, with every order priced and checked first. See trading.

It also brings in research on the projects you hold and tax reports for the year, and it speaks seven languages.

What it will never do

A tool that sees all your money has to be careful about what it can do with it. A few rules are built into how Burokku works, not written into a policy:

• Wallets are watched by address. Watching needs no keys and no signatures.
• Exchange keys can never withdraw. A key that can withdraw is refused before it's stored, a key for reading must be read-only, and keys never reach a browser.
• Nothing moves without you. You sign transactions in your own wallet, and anything that lets Burokku act for you, like an automation that trades, takes a fresh check with your passkey and stays within the limits you set.
• Burokku AI never signs or sends. What it suggests is shown to you as a draft.
• Everything is written down. Every security change and anything that moves money goes in your account's audit log.

How security works goes through each of these in detail.

Who it's for

Burokku is for anyone whose holdings have outgrown a single app: individuals with a dozen wallets, active traders across exchanges and perp DEXes, and, soon, funds, family offices and DAO treasuries that need seats, roles and a longer audit history.

What comes next

We're working on apps for the App Store and Google Play; until then you can install Burokku from your browser on your phone or computer, with its own icon and notifications. Get the app. Team and Enterprise plans, for more than one person on the same accounts, are coming too.

On this blog we'll write about what we ship, why we build it the way we do, and what we learn about keeping a crypto portfolio safe. If there's something you'd like Burokku to do, tell us.

Start with one address

Open Burokku, paste a wallet address or an ENS name and press Watch: you'll see what it holds, with no keys to share. Burokku is free with up to three accounts, and the plans add more when you need them, paid in stablecoins and never renewed without you choosing to. The guide to tracking every wallet in one place walks through the rest.
