Address Types
Depending on how the associated private key is managed, addresses can be classified into two types, wallet and external.Wallet Addresses
Wallet addresses belong to developer custodied wallets. See Creating a Wallet section. The private keys for these addresses are managed by the CDP SDK. Wallet addresses support all verbs that CDP SDK supports.External Addresses
External addresses do not belong to CDP Wallets. The CDP SDK can be used to interact with these addresses; but because the SDK does not manage private keys for them, all signing operations are done off-platform. External addresses only support retrieving balances, staking verbs, and funding with testnet tokens with the faucet.SDK Documentation
