Enable Tokens - HBAR

Enable Hedera tokens on a wallet using the BitGo SDK. See the Guide.

Enable a Hedera token on your wallet using sendTokenEnablements. Pass the token name (e.g., thbar:usdc) in the enableTokens array. Once the transaction confirms on chain, you can send and receive that token.

Prerequisites: Complete Get Started and Create Wallets.

// 1. Enable Token
// Use the JavaScript SDK for this step (see JavaScript tab)

// 1. Enable Token
const BitGo = require("bitgo");
const bitgo = new BitGo.BitGo({
  env: "custom",
  customRootURI: "",
});

// Set your access token
const accessToken = "";

// Set your wallet id
const walletId = "";

// Set your wallet passphrase
const passphrase = "test_wallet_passphrase";

const coin = "thbar";

async function enableToken(walletId) {
  bitgo.authenticateWithAccessToken({ accessToken });
  const wallet = await bitgo.coin(coin).wallets().getWallet({ id: walletId });
  const result = await wallet.sendTokenEnablements({
    enableTokens: [{ name: "thbar:usdc" }],
    walletPassphrase: passphrase,
  });
  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, undefined, 2));
}
