Reserve

Users never hold XLM.

Reserves and fees, charged in the token they already have.

Start without a key How it works

Three moves, one transaction.

  1. The sponsor carries the reserves

    A sandwich opens around the user’s operations. Their minimum balance stays at zero.

  2. The user signs the inner transaction

    Reserve never holds a key. It signs only the outer fee-bump, which cannot change what they signed.

  3. A path payment buys the XLM

    Strict-receive through the DEX. Past the quoted sendMax, nothing happens and they pay nothing.

A key is a bigger bucket, not a permission.

If thirty requests a minute is enough, skip the key. Paste the URL. The service answers either way.

30 / min

No key

Paste the URL. Same endpoints.

600 / min

Key

Sign once with any Stellar wallet.

Paid in what they hold.

Allowlisted assets with a route to XLM. The issuer domain is shown with every code, never the code alone.

~0.001 USDC Per transaction
1.5 XLM Opening reserves, in the token
No custody The user signs every inner transaction

Raise the limit

Only if the base budget is too tight. Signing again returns the same key. Nothing is stored.

Sign with any Stellar wallet. Thirty requests a minute need no key.
