Stablecoin API Overview
Prerequisites
Before using the Stablecoin API, users must be set up through the Onboarding API:
1. User/Corporate Creation
Create via Onboarding API:
- Users:
POST /user- See Onboarding API - Corporates:
POST /corporate- See Onboarding API
Target Address Setup:
During user creation, you must set the target_address field:
POST /user
{
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe",
"email": "[email protected]",
"country": "US",
"target_address": "0xABC...123", // DEFAULT wallet for on-ramp conversions
"target_solana_address": "3KWx..." // Optional: for Solana support
}Note:
Target Address: This is the user's EXTERNAL wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase, hardware wallet, etc.) where on-ramp conversions will be sent by default. This is different from Bakkt custody addresses.
2. KYC/KYB Verification
Users and corporates must complete verification before using On/Off Ramp:
| Entity Type | Required Status | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Users | FULL_USER | Complete KYC via Sumsub |
| Corporates | ACTIVE | Complete KYB verification |
Warning:
No Partial Access: Users cannot use On/Off Ramp until fully verified. Access is binary: either full access (unlimited) or no access.
3. Authentication
Different endpoints have different auth requirements:
| Operation | Auth Required | Headers |
|---|---|---|
| GET endpoints | API Key + User UUID | Authorization, user-uuid |
| POST/PUT/PATCH | Session ID | Authorization, bakkt-session-id |
Overview
The Stablecoin API enables bi-directional stablecoin to fiat conversions:
- On-Ramp: Fiat → Stablecoin (link stablecoin fiat account to user's wallet)
- Off-Ramp: Stablecoin → Fiat (1st party to user's own stablecoin fiat account, or 3rd party to any bank)
- Single-Use: One-time wallets for corporate batch processing
- Custody: Hold stablecoins without automatic conversion
