    An API key plays a crucial role in securing crypto transactions by providing a unique identifier that authenticates and authorizes access to an application's API. It acts as a secret code that verifies the identity of the user or application making the request. Without a valid API key, unauthorized access to sensitive data or actions within the application can be prevented.

    API keys are like digital passports for crypto transactions. They ensure that only authorized individuals or applications can access and interact with the blockchain network. By requiring an API key, crypto exchanges and platforms can verify the legitimacy of each transaction request, reducing the risk of fraud or unauthorized activities.
