There are two types of accounts that can be created with this endpoint:
  • Email-based accounts
  • Signer-based accounts
Learn more about the different authentication methods in the Authentication Methods guide.
Using the Grid API directly requires advanced configurations. Grid SDK is the recommended way to create accounts. It handles account creation, key management, authentication, automatic failover, and transaction signing. Learn more about the Grid SDK in the Grid SDK guide.

Email-based Accounts Creation Flow

Initiate account creation

Use this endpoint to create the account specifying the email address of the user.
2

Verify your user's email to complete account creation

Call the Verify Account OTP endpoint to complete the account creation process.
Grid accounts do not have the same address in sandbox and production. DO NOT send funds to the same address in both environments. Create unique accounts for each environment and ensure you use the correct address for your environment.

​
Signer-based Accounts Creation Flow
