Convert or convert-and-transfer in one API call. ![Mint Workflow](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/paxos-0ac97319-jg-test-1/images/mint.png) Minting a [Paxos-issued stablecoin](/guides/developer/blockchains#stablecoins) starts by depositing USD on the Paxos platform using the [Fiat Transfers APIs](/api-reference/endpoints/fiat-transfers) (**A** in the diagram). Depending on the use case, you can either convert USD to a stablecoin and keep the asset on the Paxos platform using [Create Stablecoin Conversion](/api-reference/endpoints/stablecoin-conversion/create-stablecoin-conversion) (option **B**) or use [Create Crypto Withdrawal](/api-reference/endpoints/crypto-withdrawals/create-crypto-withdrawal) to convert and transfer with the same API request (**C**). > If you've already authenticated and have a USD balances in a Profile, skip ahead to the [convert](#mint-hold) or [convert and transfer](#mint-transfer) step. ## ➊ Authenticate Include the following scopes when [authenticating](/guides/developer/authenticate): ```shell conversion:read_conversion_stablecoin conversion:write_conversion_stablecoin funding:read_profile transfer:write_crypto_withdrawal ``` > If you don't see all the scopes when [creating or editing API credentials](/guides/developer/credentials), contact [Support](https://support.paxos.com). ## ➋ Deposit USD Use [Create Sandbox Deposit](/api-reference/endpoints/sandbox-deposits/create-sandbox-deposit) to add USD to the Profile (`profile_id`) you want the minting process to be associated with. See the [First API Request](/guides/developer/request) guide for help retrieving Profile IDs. You can also use the [Fiat Transfers funding flow](/api-reference/endpoints/fiat-transfers) if you've already set up a Fiat Account. ```shell highlight={2} curl --request POST \ --location 'https://api.sandbox.paxos.com/v2/sandbox/profiles/0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc/deposit' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \ --data '{ "asset": "USD", "amount": "1000" }' ``` ## ➌ Convert USD to Stablecoin See the [convert stablecoin](/guides/developer/convert) guide for details on using [Create Stablecoin Conversion](/api-reference/endpoints/stablecoin-conversion/create-stablecoin-conversion) to mint a [Paxos-issued stablecoin](/guides/developer/blockchains#stablecoins). Once the conversion is [`SETTLED`](/guides/developer/convert#stablecoin-conversion-statuses), use [List Profile Balances](/api-reference/endpoints/profiles/list-profile-balances) to check updated balances. To check balances of the assets you are interested in, include the `assets` query parameter in the request. ```shell highlight={1} curl --location 'https://api.sandbox.paxos.com/v2/profiles/0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc/balances?assets=USD&assets=PYUSD&assets=USDG' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' ``` The response includes the updated USD and Paxos-issued stablecoin balances. ```json { "items": [ { "asset": "USD", "available": "600", "trading": "0" }, { "asset": "PYUSD", "available": "100", "trading": "0" }, { "asset": "USDG", "available": "100", "trading": "0" } ] } ``` ## ➍ Convert and Transfer Use [Create Crypto Withdrawal](/api-reference/endpoints/crypto-withdrawals/create-crypto-withdrawal) to transfer the Paxos-issued stablecoin to an address off the Paxos platform with a single request. To automatically convert fiat (USD) to stablecoin and transfer to an external address with a single request, set the `asset` to the stablecoin you want to mint, the `balance_asset` to `USD`, and the `crypto_network` to the desired network. ### USDG on Ethereum ```shell curl --location 'https://api.sandbox.paxos.com/v2/transfer/crypto-withdrawals' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \ --data '{ "profile_id": "0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc", "asset": "USDG", "destination_address": "0x9acb61E5fcE9B5BdA7B44635d86be19d2790D9a9", "crypto_network": "ETHEREUM", "ref_id": "cw_usdg_eth_293a8f7c-bcb6-483f-919b-8661ae65f0e6", "balance_asset": "USD", "amount": "100" }' ``` ### PYUSD on Solana ```shell curl --location 'https://api.sandbox.paxos.com/v2/transfer/crypto-withdrawals' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \ --data '{ "profile_id": "0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc", "asset": "PYUSD", "destination_address": "BtXdwoYSWPprQT88ZCLuQcXuTz4dFHB1AJFYqr5uXoAd", "crypto_network": "SOLANA", "ref_id": "cw_pyusd_293a8f7c-bcb6-483f-919b-8661ae65f0e6", "balance_asset": "USD", "amount": "100" }' ``` The request confirmation response has a `status` of `PENDING`, since the on-chain transaction has not yet been confirmed. ### USDG on Ethereum ```json highlight={13} { "id": "7c223577-832b-4235-a77e-ebf36dfe9860", "customer_id": "8cbc1177-d982-4750-a435-3c7f36245452", "profile_id": "0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc", "ref_id": "cw_usdg_eth_293a8f7c-bcb6-483f-919b-8661ae65f0e6", "amount": "100", "total": "126.96", "fee": "26.96", "asset": "USDG", "balance_asset": "USD", "direction": "DEBIT", "type": "CRYPTO_WITHDRAWAL", "status": "PENDING", ...

"destination_address": "BtXdwoYSWPprQT88ZCLuQcXuTz4dFHB1AJFYqr5uXoAd", "crypto_network": "SOLANA", "auto_conversion": {} } ``` To check the transaction status on the Paxos platform, use [List Transfers](/api-reference/endpoints/transfers/list-transfers). You can create a recurring request that look for completed transactions in the Profile. For example, filter on `type=CRYPTO_WITHDRAWAL` and `status=COMPLETED` parameters to find all the completed transactions. ```shell curl --location 'https://api.sandbox.paxos.com/v2/transfer/transfers?type=CRYPTO_WITHDRAWAL&status=COMPLETED' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' ``` By default, the response includes transactions from newest to oldest. ```json highlight={15,33} { "items": [ { "id": "7c223577-832b-4235-a77e-ebf36dfe9860", "customer_id": "8cbc1177-d982-4750-a435-3c7f36245452", "profile_id": "0d3172c5-8840-4bae-bdd4-30688f0268fc", "ref_id": "cw_usdg_eth_293a8f7c-bcb6-483f-919b-8661ae65f0e6", "amount": "100", "total": "126.96", "fee": "26.96", "asset": "USDG", "balance_asset": "USD", "direction": "DEBIT", "type": "CRYPTO_WITHDRAWAL", "status": "COMPLETED", ...
