Sandbox

Create your account
Go to the sandbox site to register for a test account to begin trading.
- use the website to get comfortable trading on Gemini
- use the API to validate your trading systems before deploying them against the real Gemini exchange
Your account will automatically be credited with USD, BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, OXT, LINK, BAT and DAI. You may use these funds to trade, both through the web site and through the API.
Gemini's sandbox site does not support either depositing or withdrawing your test funds, which can only be used to trade on the sandbox exchange.
Sandbox does not support email notifications. If you need this as part of your testing plan, please contact trading@gemini.com.
If you have any issues, or if you need to adjust your balances (to test insufficient funds handling, for example), contact trading@gemini.com.
