### Why do I need to enter my private key ?😵 <a href="#why-do-i-need-to-enter-my-private-key" id="why-do-i-need-to-enter-my-private-key"></a>

Solyum needs your private key to be able to create buy/sell orders.

***Below is an example of how we use Web.py to send an approval TX and sign with your key:***

```
transaction = contract.functions.approve(routerAddress, amount
).buildTransaction({
    'gasPrice': Web3.toWei(gas, 'gwei'),
    'gas': 300000,
    'from': Web3.toChecksumAddress(settings['WALLETADDRESS']),
    'nonce': client.eth.getTransactionCount(settings['WALLETADDRESS'])
})
signed_txn = client.eth.account.signTransaction(transaction, private_key=settings['PRIVATEKEY'])
```
