Wallets Everywhere: Introducing Para's REST API
What if every user on your platform had a wallet, without even knowing it?
Para’s new REST API makes that possible: a clean set of endpoints for wallet creation and transaction signing, built for server side workflows and HTTP requests. This means no crypto headaches or routing users through a UI to set up a wallet.
Why it Matters
Para’s REST API makes wallets feel like any other backend primitive: create, sign, and manage with simple HTTP requests.
That matters when you want to roll out wallets to an existing user base without changing your app’s UI or asking your users to learn anything new. You can provision wallets automatically, run transactions on behalf of users (using your own authentication logic), and keep wallet operations inside systems you trust.
Use the tools you already know: Python, cURL, Go, Postman. If it can send an HTTP request, it works with Para.
What you can Build
Teams using the REST API are building products that fall into a few buckets:
- Provision wallets at signup so users get wallets automatically, before the even need to interact with crypto
- Fintechs looking to add stablecoin payments to your product so customers can pay in USDC or other stablecoins
- Payment teams building treasury operations like balance sweeps or automated payouts
- Offer users multiple wallets (spending, savings, rewards) under one account
There are already projects building on the REST API. Coala Pay, a blockchain-powered platform for humanitarian aid funding, is leveraging Para’s REST API, streamlining stablecoin-based payments and cross-border aid distribution. Para’s infrastructure enables Coala Pay to automatically provision wallets for charities and donors, reducing foreign currency risk and delivering faster, more transparent funding to grassroots organisations.
