Set up API keys in your Anchorage Digital account

Step 1: Create a vault in Anchorage Digital for use with your Liquifi account (or use an existing vault)

If you plan to use an existing vault, you can skip to the following section, Step 2: Share your Anchorage Digital vault ID with Liquifi.

If you plan to create a new vault for use with Liquifi, complete the following two steps:

1. Click on Create new vault in the Anchorage Digital mobile app.

2. Complete the remaining steps in the mobile app to complete the vault creation process and submit for quorum approval. Note that you will need to meet the quorum threshold defined in your Anchorage Digital account settings to finish creating the vault.

Step 2: Record your Anchorage Digital vault ID and other relevant information with Liquifi

Once the vault is created and approved by your quorum, we strongly advise creating a secure note (such as via 1Password) and adding the following information your Anchorage Digital account (you'll be sending the secure note to your onboarding manager once you complete all required setup):

1. Vault ID for the vault that will be used for Liquifi token transfers (accessible here once logged in to Anchorage Digital)

2. Correct asset’s wallet address (accessible here once logged in to Anchorage Digital)

3. Asset code for the token you'll be distributing as it is noted in Anchorage. As an example, the asset code for the wallet in the following screenshot is ETH_BASE.

Step 3: Create Trusted Destinations in your Anchorage Digital account with your External Stakeholder Addresses

1. Collect wallet addresses from your stakeholders (via Liquifi or manually).

2. Set up your stakeholder wallet addresses as trusted destinations in Anchorage Digital using their bulk import template from your Trusted destinations settings page.

   • If you've collected wallet addresses via Liquifi, you can easily export the list of wallet addresses from your stakeholders page.

3. Complete Anchorage Digital's security approval process for your stakeholder wallet addresses to become trusted destinations.

Step 4: Generate API keys from Anchorage Digital for your Liquifi account

You'll need to create two API keys within your Anchorage Digital account that will be used by your Liquifi account to request token transfers. Each of the two API keys serves a specific action on Liquifi and will have its own respective Permission Group, including:

1. External Transfers API Key

2. Internal Transfers API Key
