Chaingateway Now Supports Secure Wallets for Tron!

We are excited to announce that password-protected wallets are now available for Tron on ChainGateway! 🎉 This long-awaited feature enhances security by encrypting private keys, preventing exposure, and making transactions safer than ever.

Why Secure Wallets Matter

Until now, Tron wallets created through our API would return the private key in the response. While this method works for temporary addresses, it is not ideal for long-term security. With our new password-protected wallets, private keys are stored in an encrypted format—only accessible with your password.

🔑 How Secure Wallets Work

When creating a Tron wallet via our API, you can now provide a password parameter. Instead of returning the private key, we store it securely and encrypt it using multiple internal security mechanisms. Key Benefits:

✅ No more exposed private keys in API responses ✅ Stronger security when sending transactions—just use your password instead of the private key ✅ Easier wallet management with password updates and private key retrieval How to Create a Secure Tron Wallet

Creating a password-protected Tron wallet is as simple as making a POST request with a password parameter:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.chaingateway.io/api/v2/tron/addresses \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "password": "your_secure_password"
}'

Example Response:

{
  "status": 201,
  "ok": true,
  "message": "Address created",
  "data": {
    "address": "TAbcd1234efgh5678ijkl9012mnop3456qrst7890"
  }
}

🔹 Notice: The private key is NOT included in the response. Instead, it is stored securely. Sending Transactions Using a Secure Wallet

When making transactions from a password-protected wallet, simply use your password instead of a private key:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.chaingateway.io/api/v2/tron/transactions \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "from": "TAbcd1234efgh5678ijkl9012mnop3456qrst7890",
  "to": "TDestinationAddress12345",
  "amount": "100",
  "password": "your_secure_password"
}'

Need Access to Your Private Key?

If you ever need to export your private key, use this API request (requires password authentication):

curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.chaingateway.io/api/v2/tron/addresses/export/TAbcd1234efgh5678ijkl9012mnop3456qrst7890 \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "password": "your_secure_password"
}'
