Overview

CDP non-custodial wallets use a pay-as-you-go model with no contracts or minimum commitments. Pricing is consistent across wallet types. The primary implementation difference is your authentication mode:
  • User authentication: User wallet flows where users authenticate directly in your app.
  • API key authentication: Backend-authorized wallet flows using API keys and Wallet Secrets.
For architecture and auth guidance, see Authentication Methods. Wallet usage is billed in wallet operations. A wallet operation is consumed by write actions such as wallet creation, message signing, transaction signing, transaction broadcasting, and policy evaluation. Read operations are not billed.
