2. Access Interface

Navigate to http://cce-node.local on your browser.

Security

Your Binance API keys never leave Node.

• Stored in encrypted SQLite database
• Encrypted at rest using Fernet

Maintenance

Node is designed to run autonomously. You do not need to update software (it auto-updates) or restart the device.

Recommended: Log in quarterly to check logs and verify balance.

FAQ

Do I need to leave Node running 24/7?

Yes. Node checks market conditions every 6 hours. If it's offline, you might miss a transition.

What if my internet goes down?

Node will resume when connection is restored. Missed checks are logged.

Can I modify the strategy?

No. Node runs the CCE strategy only. It is a sovereign execution device for the CCE philosophy.
