Account registration

Every depositing user needs a registered smart account. You can let the service create one (managed) or bring your own (user-owned).

Choose an account type

	Managed account	User-owned account
Who creates the account	Deposit service	You, via SDK
Session key setup	Automatic	You sign session authorization
User-facing address	Service returns deposit address	Your existing smart account address
Recipient	Required (you specify where funds go)	Optional (defaults to the account itself)
Best for	Existing apps, EOA users (e.g. browser wallets)	Non-custodial flows, users with existing smart accounts

Managed accounts are recommended for most integrations — simpler setup, no SDK dependency for registration. User-owned accounts are for cases where deposits should go to an existing smart account the user already controls.

All examples below use these shared constants:

const DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL =
  "https://v1.orchestrator.rhinestone.dev/deposit-processor";
const API_KEY = "YOUR_RHINESTONE_API_KEY";

const headers = {
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
  "x-api-key": API_KEY,
};

Register an account

Managed account
User-owned account

The service creates a Nexus smart account deterministically from your API key and a salt you provide. The same API key + salt always produces the same deposit address, so you can safely re-register if needed.

Pick a salt

Use a stable, unique identifier per user — for example, an internal user ID. Hash it for privacy:

import { keccak256, toHex } from "viem";

const salt = keccak256(toHex("user-123"));

Call /register-managed

const response = await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/register-managed`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    account: {
      salt,
      target: {
        chain: "eip155:42161", // Arbitrum
        token: "0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831", // USDC
        recipient: "0xYOUR_RECIPIENT_ADDRESS",
      },
    },
  }),
});

const { evmDepositAddress, solanaDepositAddress } = await response.json();

The response includes two deposit addresses:

Field	Description
`evmDepositAddress`	Accepts deposits on any supported EVM chain
`solanaDepositAddress`	Accepts deposits on Solana

Both addresses route to the same target chain and token.

Verify registration

const check = await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/check/${evmDepositAddress}`);
const data = await check.json();

{
  "isRegistered": true,
  "targetChain": "eip155:42161",
  "targetToken": "0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831",
  "sources": [
    { "chain": "eip155:8453", "depositAddress": "<evmDepositAddress>" },
    { "chain": "eip155:42161", "depositAddress": "<evmDepositAddress>" },
    {
      "chain": "solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp",
      "depositAddress": "<solanaDepositAddress>"
    }
  ]
}

sources lists every chain the account can receive deposits from, each with its deposit address — EVM chains share the evmDepositAddress, Solana carries the solanaDepositAddress.

For this flow, you create a Rhinestone smart account via the SDK, configure session keys so the deposit service can sign bridging transactions, and register the account with its factory data and session details.

Install the SDK

npm install @rhinestone/sdk viem

Create the account

import { RhinestoneSDK, type RhinestoneAccountConfig } from "@rhinestone/sdk";

const rhinestone = new RhinestoneSDK();

const config: RhinestoneAccountConfig = {
  owners: {
    type: "ecdsa",
    accounts: [userSigner],
  },
  sessions: { enabled: true },
};

const account = await rhinestone.createAccount(config);
const address = account.getAddress();
const { factory, factoryData } = account.getInitData();

Build session details

The deposit service uses a session key to sign bridging transactions on the user’s behalf. Build session details for every chain you accept deposits from, plus the target chain — a deposit arriving on a chain with no session can’t be bridged. See supported chains and tokens for the current set.

import { toViewOnlyAccount } from "@rhinestone/sdk/utils";
import { base, optimism, arbitrum } from "viem/chains";

const RHINESTONE_SIGNER_ADDRESS = "0x177bfcdd15bc01e99013dcc5d2b09cd87a18ce9c";
const sessionSigner = toViewOnlyAccount(RHINESTONE_SIGNER_ADDRESS);

const sourceChains = [base, optimism, arbitrum]; // extend to every chain you accept
const sessions = sourceChains.map((chain) => ({
  owners: { type: "ecdsa" as const, accounts: [sessionSigner] },
  chain,
}));

const sessionDetails = await account.getSessionDetails(sessions);
const signature = await account.signEnableSession(sessionDetails);

const enableSessionDetails = {
  hashesAndChainIds: sessionDetails.hashesAndChainIds,
  signature,
};

Call /register

const response = await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/register`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify(
    {
      account: {
        address,
        accountParams: {
          factory,
          factoryData,
          sessionDetails: enableSessionDetails,
        },
        target: {
          chain: "eip155:42161", // Arbitrum
          token: "0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831", // USDC
        },
      },
    },
    (_, v) => (typeof v === "bigint" ? v.toString() : v),
  ),
});

const { evmDepositAddress, solanaDepositAddress } = await response.json();

The JSON replacer (_, v) => typeof v === "bigint" ? v.toString() : v is needed because sessionDetails.hashesAndChainIds contains bigint chain IDs that JSON.stringify can’t serialize by default.

Verify registration

const check = await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/check/${address}`);
const data = await check.json();
// { isRegistered: true, targetChain: "eip155:42161", sources: [...] }

Adding source chains

To accept deposits from chains that weren’t included in the original registration, add new session details:

import { polygon } from "viem/chains";

const newSessions = [
  {
    owners: { type: "ecdsa" as const, accounts: [sessionSigner] },
    chain: polygon,
  },
];
const newSessionDetails =
  await account.getSessionDetails(newSessions);
const newSignature =
  await account.signEnableSession(newSessionDetails);

await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/account/${address}/session`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify(
    {
      sessionDetails: {
        hashesAndChainIds: newSessionDetails.hashesAndChainIds,
        signature: newSignature,
      },
    },
    (_, v) => (typeof v === "bigint" ? v.toString() : v),
  ),
});

Managed accounts automatically support all available source chains — this step is only needed for user-owned accounts.

Optional: token routing

By default, all deposits are bridged to the single target token you set at registration. Token routing rules let you select the output token based on what the user deposited. When registering an account, the target object accepts two optional fields:

Field	Type	Description
`outputTokenRules`	`Array<Rule>`	Routing rules evaluated by match specificity
`rejectUnmapped`	`boolean`	If `true`, deposits that don’t match any rule are rejected instead of falling back to `target.token`

Each rule has:

Field	Type	Description
`match.chain`	`string` (CAIP-2)	Match deposits from this source chain (e.g. `"eip155:1"`)
`match.token`	`string` (address)	Match deposits of this source token address
`match.symbol`	`string`	Match deposits by token symbol (case-insensitive, e.g. `"USDC"`)
`outputToken`	`string` (address)	The final token to deliver on the target chain

A rule’s match must specify at least one of chain, token, or symbol. You can combine them for more specific matches.

Rule priority

When multiple rules match a deposit, the most specific rule wins. Declaration order only matters when two rules share the same specificity.

Match type	Example
`chain` + `token`	Specific token from a specific chain
`chain` + `symbol`	Any token with symbol X from chain Y
`token` (only)	Specific token from any chain
`symbol` (only)	Any token with symbol X from any chain
`chain` (only)	Any token from a specific chain
No match	Falls back to `target.token` (or rejected if `rejectUnmapped: true`)

Example: USDC and ETH passthrough

Route USDC deposits to USDC.e and ETH deposits to WETH on Optimism, while defaulting other tokens to a fallback:

await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/register-managed`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    account: {
      salt,
      target: {
        chain: "eip155:10", // Optimism
        token: "0xYOUR_DEFAULT_FALLBACK_TOKEN",
        recipient: "0xYOUR_RECIPIENT_ADDRESS",
        outputTokenRules: [
          {
            match: { symbol: "USDC" },
            outputToken: "0x7f5c764cbc14f9669b88837ca1490cca17c31607", // USDC.e on Optimism
          },
          {
            match: { symbol: "ETH" },
            outputToken: "0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006", // WETH on Optimism
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  }),
});

With this configuration:

User deposits USDC (from any chain) → receives USDC.e on Optimism
User deposits ETH (from any chain) → receives WETH on Optimism
User deposits any other token → receives target.token (default fallback)

Example: chain-specific overrides

Combine chain and symbol for chain-specific routing. The chain-specific rule takes priority because chain + symbol outranks symbol alone.

outputTokenRules: [
  {
    match: { chain: "eip155:1", symbol: "USDC" },
    outputToken: "0xUSCD_BRIDGED_ADDRESS",
  },
  {
    match: { symbol: "USDC" },
    outputToken: "0xUSDC_NATIVE_ADDRESS",
  },
];

Example: reject unknown tokens

Only accept specific tokens and reject everything else:

await fetch(`${DEPOSIT_SERVICE_URL}/register-managed`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    account: {
      salt,
      target: {
        chain: "eip155:10",
        token: "0xNOT_USED_AS_FALLBACK",
        recipient: "0xYOUR_RECIPIENT_ADDRESS",
        outputTokenRules: [
          { match: { symbol: "USDC" }, outputToken: "0xUSDC_ADDRESS" },
          { match: { symbol: "ETH" }, outputToken: "0xWETH_ADDRESS" },
        ],
        rejectUnmapped: true,
      },
    },
  }),
});

Deposits that don’t match USDC or ETH are ignored (not bridged).
