Chainflip Authentication

Authentication

Chainflip is a permissionless, non-custodial protocol. Its integration surfaces do not use API keys, bearer tokens, or OAuth. Access is either fully open (public RPC / quoting) or gated by operating a node account whose authority derives from on-chain identity and cryptographic signatures.

Chainflip secures its APIs with none and node-operated across 4 declared security schemes, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.

  Chainflip is a permissionless, non-custodial protocol. Its integration
  surfaces do not use API keys, bearer tokens, or OAuth. Access is either
  fully open (public RPC / quoting) or gated by operating a node account whose
  authority derives from on-chain identity and cryptographic signatures.
schemes:
  - name: public-rpc
    type: none
    applies_to: SDK quoting and swap initiation (getChains, getAssets, getQuoteV2, requestDepositAddressV2, getStatusV2)
    notes: No credentials required. Calls hit the public Chainflip RPC node for the selected network, or a custom rpcUrl.
  - name: broker-account
    type: node-operated
    applies_to: Broker API (routing swaps, earning broker commission)
    notes: >-
      Authority comes from running/connecting to a Broker node registered on
      the State Chain; broker actions are authorised by the broker account's
      keypair, not an HTTP API key. A hosted Broker API URL may be supplied via
      the SDK `broker` option.
  - name: lp-account
    type: node-operated
    applies_to: Liquidity Provider RPC / LP operations
    notes: LP actions are signed by the LP account keypair on the State Chain.
  - name: validator-keys
    type: node-operated
    applies_to: Validator node operation and governance
    notes: Validator/governance transactions are signed with node keys (see cf-gov and cf-trezor-signer CLI tools).
