Latest Node.js SDK version - 
Typescript SDK (@crossmint/wallets-sdk) for creating and managing Crossmint Wallets on EVM, Solana, and Stellar chains.
Prerequisites
Get a Crossmint API key from the developer console. Ensure your key has the Wallet API scopes enabled.- Client-side (browser): Use a client API key
- Server-side (Node.js): Use a server API key
Installation
Quick Start
Server-side (Node.js)
Client-side (Headless)
For client-side usage without React, you can use the SDK directly with JWT authentication:For React apps, use@crossmint/client-sdk-react-uiwhich providesCrossmintWalletProvider, hooks, and built-in UI for OTP and passkey flows.
Creating a Wallet
Server signer
Create a wallet with a server key as the recovery signer:External wallet signer
Bring your own key (MetaMask, KMS, etc.):Device signer (browser / React Native)
Device signers use hardware-backed P256 keys for frictionless client-side signing. They must be created on the client and can be passed to the server at wallet creation time:Device signers are browser and React Native only — not available in Node.js. See the Server-Side Wallet with Device Signer guide for the full pattern.
Retrieving an existing wallet
Core Concepts
Signers
Wallets SDK uses a two-tier signer model:- Recovery signer — High-security, used for wallet recovery and adding new signers. Supports email OTP, phone OTP, external wallet, or server key.
- Operational signer — Low-friction, used for day-to-day signing. Supports server key, external wallet, passkey, and device (browser/mobile only). For server-side (Node.js) usage, use a server or external-wallet signer.

React / React Native
For React applications, use@crossmint/client-sdk-react-ui which provides wallet providers, hooks (useWallet, useWalletOtpSigner), and built-in UI for OTP and passkey flows.
For React Native, see @crossmint/client-sdk-react-native-ui.
