Basic MultiSig Wallet API ()
Our Basic Multi-Signature addresses by default require two signatures for all withdrawals: yours, and Block.io's. This method provides exponentially higher security for your Wallets and applications than single-signature addresses. This way, you spend coins yourself, without trusting Block.io with your credentials.
All addresses generated using this API are considered Green, i.e., they can send and receive funds without waiting for confirmations. This is possible since Block.io guarantees coins can never be spent twice. Furthermore, all transactions occur on the Blockchain.
If you require a more elaborate configuration to customize your applications' security, inquire about our Distributed Trust framework by going here. This framework allows up to 5 signatures per address. The use cases are endless!
Getting Started
First, you will need your API Keys, which we provide for Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and their Testnets. These API Keys are located in your Wallet. You are required to use an API Key when you interact with Block.io. It tells Block.io which network (e.g., Bitcoin) you wish to perform actions on.
You can access the API by making calls to links of this format:
