Set Up Wallets

Wallets are Solana keypairs managed by a custody provider. SDP uses them to sign transactions for token deployment, minting, transfers, and other onchain operations. You must initialize a signing provider before creating tokens or executing transactions.

Supported providers

Provider	Description	Use case
Privy	Managed custody (recommended)	Production and sandbox
Fireblocks	Institutional-grade MPC custody	Enterprise production
Coinbase CDP	Coinbase Developer Platform custody	Production
Para	MPC wallet infrastructure	Production
Turnkey	Non-custodial key management	Production
DFNS	API-driven MPC wallet orchestration	Production
Anchorage	Institutional custody with managed wallet lifecycle	Compliance and treasury operations

1. Navigate to Wallets

Open the sidebar and click Wallets. If you haven't linked your organization yet, complete the organization setup first.

2. Start wallet setup

Click Get started on the wallet setup card. This opens the provider setup flow.

3. Configure your provider

Fill in the setup form:

Provider — choose from the supported custody providers shown in the setup grid
Wallet label — a descriptive name for the first wallet
Fireblocks credentials — required only when the selected provider is Fireblocks

Click Connect provider & create wallet to initialize signing and provision the first wallet.

4. View your wallet

After provisioning, the Wallets page shows your active provider configuration and wallet cards:

Provider — the active custody provider
Address — the wallet public key
Wallet ID — the custody wallet identifier used by SDP
Balance — the latest cached balance for the wallet

A note at the bottom reads: "Changing providers affects new actions only. Existing onchain authorities are not automatically rotated."

5. Create additional wallets (optional)

Click New wallet in the top right. The modal has:

Provider — preselected when only one active provider can create wallets, otherwise selectable
Capabilities — provider feature chips for issuance, transfers, or compliance
Wallet label — descriptive name (placeholder: "Signing wallet")

Some providers can be connected but do not yet support provisioning additional wallets from the dashboard.

1. Initialize the signing provider

curl -X POST https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/initialize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "privy",
    "walletLabel": "Master wallet"
  }'

const response = await fetch("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/initialize", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer sk_test_...",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    provider: "privy",
    walletLabel: "Master wallet",
  }),
});
const { data } = await response.json();
// data: { configId, publicKey, walletId }

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/initialize"))
    .header("Authorization", "Bearer sk_test_...")
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString("""
        {
          "provider": "privy",
          "walletLabel": "Master wallet"
        }"""))
    .build();

2. Create additional wallets

curl -X POST https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "label": "Mint authority wallet",
    "purpose": "mint_authority",
    "setDefault": false
  }'

const response = await fetch("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer sk_test_...",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    label: "Mint authority wallet",
    purpose: "mint_authority",
    setDefault: false,
  }),
});

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets"))
    .header("Authorization", "Bearer sk_test_...")
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString("""
        {
          "label": "Mint authority wallet",
          "purpose": "mint_authority",
          "setDefault": false
        }"""))
    .build();

The purpose field is optional metadata in the API. The current dashboard create-wallet flow does not expose wallet-purpose selection.

3. Check signing configuration

curl https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/config \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_..."

const response = await fetch("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/config", {
  headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_test_..." },
});
const { data } = await response.json();

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/config"))
    .header("Authorization", "Bearer sk_test_...")
    .GET()
    .build();

4. Set a default wallet

curl -X POST https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/default-wallet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "walletId": "wal_xyz789" }'

await fetch("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/default-wallet", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer sk_test_...",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ walletId: "wal_xyz789" }),
});

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://api.solana.com/v1/wallets/default-wallet"))
    .header("Authorization", "Bearer sk_test_...")
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString("""
        { "walletId": "wal_xyz789" }"""))
    .build();
