source

string

enum

Allowed:

enterprise

string

The Enterprise that will own this key

newFeeAddress

originalPasscodeEncryptionCode

string

Passphrase that is used to decrypt box D (i.e. encrypted wallet passphrase) on your wallet keycard

pub

string

public part of a key pair

isDistributedCustody

boolean

Set to true if you want to create a key for distributed custody. This parameter is only valid if you have the distributed custody enterprise license enabled and are creating a BitGo key. Otherwise it will throw an error.

commonPub

string

The commonPub for the key. This value is necessary for MPC keys when the source is either “user” or “backup”. Setting this indicates to BitGo that the owner of the key has received all key shares they needed for generating their key.

commonKeychain

string

The commonKeychain for the key if this is a MPC key. This value is required to be set when the type is set to “tss” and when the source is either “user” or “backup”. Setting this indicates to BitGo that the owner of the key has received all key shares they needed for generating their key. This value is the common pub concatenated with the common chaincode.

keyShares

array of objects

Only required for BitGo MPC keys. Those will be the shares from the user and the backup provider that BitGo will end up generating the BitGo key (share) from.

keyShares

type

string

Coin name used to choose correct KRS public key for the given provider. Possible valid values are "btc", "eth", "bitcoin"

keyType

string

enum

Defaults to independent

A value from a string enum denoting what kind of key this is. Defaults to “independent” indicating an on-chain key is requested. If set to “tss” this tells us that a “tss” key is requested.

Allowed:

userGPGPublicKey

string

User's public key in ASCII armored format. Only required for BitGo MPC keys.

backupGPGPublicKey

string

Backup public key in ASCII armored format (may be managed by user or KRS). Only required for BitGo MPC keys.
