End User Account Management

Create end user

Changed on Oct 6, 2026

Creates an end user. An end user is an entity that can own CDP EVM accounts, EVM smart accounts, and/or Solana accounts. 1 or more authentication methods must be associated with an end user. By default, no accounts are created unless the optional evmAccount and/or solanaAccount fields are provided. This API is intended to be used by the developer's own backend, and is authenticated using the developer's CDP API key.

URL: https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/end-users

A JWT signed using your Wallet Secret, encoded in base64. Refer to the Generate Wallet Token section of our Authentication docs for more details on how to generate your Wallet Token.

X-Idempotency-Keystring

An optional string request header for making requests safely retryable. When included, duplicate requests with the same key will return identical responses. Refer to our Idempotency docs for more information on using idempotency keys.

A stable, unique identifier for the end user. The userId must be unique across all end users in the developer's CDP Project. It must be between 1 and 100 characters long and can only contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens.

If userId is not provided in the request, the server will generate a random UUID.
