Tatum

Flow

Flow Blockchain enables access to the most commonly used Flow methods. These methods bring a small level of abstraction and are used for applications that communicate with the blockchain directly. Some of the methods are used alongside Tatum Private Ledger to connect the blockchain and the private ledger, like wallet generation or getting information about transactions.
Tatum supports FLOW and FUSD stable coin.
Tatum supports 2 chains:

To create accounts or mint NFTs on mainnet, you have to have paid API Key. Tatum covers the transaction fees on FLOW blockchain out of the box, so mainnet operations are available only on the paid API Key.
Tatum handles automatically proposal key management - we internally rotate the proposal keys for you, so you don't have to take care of that and can easily scale your transaction throughput.
Tatum supports BIP44 HD wallets. Because they can generate 2^31 addresses from 1 mnemonic phrase, they are very convenient and secure. It is possible to generate this type of wallet with 1 simple API call.
It's not possible to pregenerate addresses on the Flow blockchain. You can generate only public keys, which are used to generate address using a create account transaction to the Flow blockchain. You have to have existing account on the Flow to initialize new address creation. Transactions on the Flow blockchain are free.

Generate Flow wallet

1 credit per API call.


Tatum supports BIP44 HD wallets. It is very convenient and secure, since it can generate 2^31 addresses from 1 mnemonic phrase. Mnemonic phrase consists of 24 special words in defined order and can restore access to all generated addresses and private keys.
Each address is identified by 3 main values:

  • Private Key - your secret value, which should never be revealed
  • Public Key - public address to be published
  • Derivation index - index of generated address

Tatum follows BIP44 specification and generates for Dogecoin wallet with derivation path m'/44'/3'/0'/0. More about BIP44 HD wallets can be found here - https://github.com/litecoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki. Generate BIP44 compatible Dogecoin wallet.

Generate Flow address from Extended public key
1 credit for GET operation + 300 credits per address.



Generate Flow address from Extended public key. This operation internally creates public key and assigns it to the newly created address on the blockchain.
There is minimal amount, which must be sent to the FLOW address during creation - 0.001 FLOW, which will be used from Tatum service account.

This operation is allowed on any Testnet plan and only on Paid Mainnet plans.
Public key is generated for the specific index - each extended public key can generate up to 2^31 addresses starting from index 0 until 2^31 - 1.

Send Flow to blockchain addresses
100 credits per API call.



Send Flow or FUSD to blockchain addresses. Tatum covers the fee connected to the transaction costs in subscription credits. This operation can be done on mainnet only for paid plans.

There are two possibilites how the transaction on the blockchain can be created:

    

  • Using mnemonic and index - private key is generated based on the index in the mnemonic.
    • 

  • Using secret - private keys is entered manually.
    • 




This operation needs the private key of the blockchain address. Every time the funds are transferred, the transaction must be signed with the corresponding private key.
No one should ever send it's own private keys to the internet because there is a strong possibility of stealing keys and losing funds. In this method, it is possible to enter privateKey
or signatureId. PrivateKey should be used only for quick development on testnet versions of blockchain when there is no risk of losing funds. In production,
Tatum KMS should be used for the highest security standards, and signatureId should be present in the request.
Alternatively, using the Tatum client library for supported languages.
