Creating Wallets

Create a wallet using the API. The response returns a blank wallet object you can store the reference of in your system.

fctl wallets create my-wallet

Response:

{
  "id": "e21494fe-dbd1-4323-8f2c-28c3bafb96d1",
  "balances": {},
  "metadata": {}
}

Choosing a Wallet Strategy#

There are multiple strategies you can adopt when creating wallets: you can choose to create a wallet for a specific user, or you can create a wallet for a specific resource in your system.

Using metadata#

Wallets carry a metadata field that can be used to store any information you want to associate with the wallet. This is useful when you want to e.g. attach a reference to a resource in your system to the wallet.

fctl wallets create user-wallet --metadata user_id=1234
