Wallets

In order to receive crypto securities during the settlement process, investors need wallets. Wallets are created for investors using the wallet endpoints.

There are two different types of wallets:

  • Generic wallets are created via the /eth-generic/ endpoint by providing an account address. An account address is always connected to a single investor identity. It cannot be shared between investors. An investor can have more than one generic wallet.

  • Managed wallets are created via the /eth-managed/ endpoint. You do not need to provide an address for managed wallets because the address is created when you trigger the creation via the API. Investors can only have a single managed wallet. Managed wallets are provided by Cashlink as a regulated crypto custodian. This needs to be setup for your platform and investors need to accept the Cashlink custody terms and conditions, before you create a wallet via the API.

Please note that in order to create a wallet, the investor must have completed the KYC/AML process.
