This API is a request to create a new v1 deposit wallet or withdrawal wallet for your organisation. A v1 wallet is a legacy wallet that is not supported by Liminal Firewall. You can also create multiple hot wallets (one wallet per API call) for EVM and UTXO chains. See Liminal supported chains for more information.
Important
- Ensure to add the key pair
"walletVersion":"1"in the API request body. If the wallet version is not provided, the API will default to creating a v2 wallet.
Note
- Liminal automatically generates the exact list of addresses for all EVM chain deposit wallets (like Avalanche, Polygon). These addresses are derived from the Ethereum wallet seed phrase, using a derivation path. For example, if your first Ethereum wallet has addresses—
- Address 1:
0xf0748C52EDC23135d9845CDFB91279Cf61ee14b4,- Address 2:
0x1860F505E73c1d3C36685AfB1a1F986591d7aB9d,
then the exact Address 1 and Address 2 are also generated for other EVM wallets you create afterward. This way, you can assign a single deposit address to each customer across all EVM wallets.If you want certain EVM chain wallets to have the same set of addresses as your first Ethereum wallet, ensure to create those wallets before creating the second Ethereum wallet. Otherwise, the addresses of the second Ethereum wallet will be replicated in the EVM chain wallets. To learn about derivation paths, see Derivation path strategy .
To create a v2 hot wallet, use the Create a hot wallet API instead.
