We’re happy to announce a new upgrade to Xapo’s credit API - an API for faucet owners.

How is Xapo different from other faucet scripts?

• Free for faucet owner and user. No commissions for deposits or withdrawals. All miner fees are reimbursed to the sender so faucets can keep this fee or give a discount to users.
• Transactions to Xapo addresses will be credited immediately with no wait time, minimum 1 satoshi.
• Transactions to non-Xapo wallets accumulate to a minimum 55 bits and can be sent as soon as the user hits this threshold.
• Transactions to non-Xapo addresses are processed in less than 24 hrs, not a few days.
• Refunds - If a user does not claim the bits you send them, they are returned to your wallet within 10 days. This will help prevent “lost bits” from disappearing into the network.
• Manage multiple faucets from one wallet and give permissions to different colleagues to transfer and/or approve transactions.
• Dynamic addresses - Sending address changes every transaction so no one can look at your funds in the blockchain.
• API based instead of script based.

What this means for users:

• Users can claim with a wallet address or email
• Funds to a Xapo wallet are immediate
• Funds to a non-Xapo wallet can accumulate with any service that uses Xapo
• Multi-sig wallet
• Convenient access to deep cold storage - Xapo Vault.
• All free

Next steps?

• Create a Xapo wallet if you dont already have one
• Sign in on Xapo’s developer page (sign in button is on the top right)
• Create API keys for your faucet
