This API allows you to integrate crypto on/off ramps and swaps into your application. Your customers can buy crypto with fiat (onramp), sell crypto for fiat (offramp), or exchange one crypto asset for another (swap).
Use the sandbox for development. All examples in the guides work with the sandbox environment at https://api.sand.etherfuse.com. If you haven’t set up your sandbox account, see Initial Setup.

​
Integration Flow

The typical integration follows this pattern:
1

Onboard Customer

Generate a presigned URL and have your customer complete KYC verification, bank account linking, and agreement signing. You generate the customerId and bankAccountId UUIDs — store them, as they’re permanently bound after onboarding.Two approaches: Hosted UI (fastest) or Programmatic (white-label). See Onboarding Customers for details.
2

Get Available Assets

Discover which assets your customer can buy, sell, or swap. Use GET /ramp/assets (auth required, scoped to wallet/chain/currency) or GET /lookup/stablebonds (public, all assets). Use the identifier field from the response when creating quotes.
3

Create Quote

Get pricing via POST /ramp/quote. Quotes expire after 2 minutes. The response includes exchangeRate, feeBps, feeAmount, and destinationAmount.See the detailed guides for quote examples: Onramps, Offramps, Swaps.
4

Create Order or Swap

Execute using the quote. For on/off-ramps, call POST /ramp/order — the order inherits direction and amounts from the quote. For swaps, call POST /ramp/swap.See Testing Onramps, Testing Offramps, or Testing Swaps for the full flow.
5

Monitor via Webhooks

Subscribe to webhooks via POST /ramp/webhook to receive real-time updates. See Webhooks below for event types and status flows.

​
Fees

Fees are based on your rolling 30-day transaction volume. Higher volume means lower fees.
30-Day Volume (USD)Fee
0 - 5 million20 bps (0.20%)
5 - 10 million15 bps (0.15%)
10 - 50 million10 bps (0.10%)
50 - 100 million8 bps (0.08%)
100 million+5 bps (0.05%)
The fee is calculated on the output amount and included in the quote response (feeBps, feeAmount). Your current fee tier is applied automatically.

​
Webhooks

Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256. Every delivery includes an X-Signature header for verification. See Verifying Webhooks for setup instructions and code examples.

​
Order Status Flow

Onramp (customer buys crypto with MXN): 
created → funded → completed
    ↓        ↓
  failed   refunded
    ↓
 canceled
  1. created — Waiting for customer to deposit MXN to the depositClabe
  2. funded — MXN deposit received and confirmed
  3. completed — Crypto sent to customer’s wallet (confirmedTxSignature contains the tx hash)
Offramp (customer sells crypto for MXN): 
created → funded → completed
    ↓        ↓
  failed   failed
    ↓
 canceled
  1. created — burnTransaction ready for customer to sign
  2. funded — Customer’s crypto transaction confirmed on-chain
  3. completed — MXN sent to customer’s bank account
Swap (crypto to crypto): 
created → funded → completed
    ↓        ↓
  failed   failed
  1. created — sendTransaction ready for customer to sign
  2. funded — Customer’s crypto transaction confirmed on-chain
  3. completed — Target crypto sent to customer’s wallet
Other statuses: failed (timeout/error), refunded (onramp only — e.g. if the deposited amount doesn’t match the order, the funds are returned), canceled (before funding).

​
Other Webhook Statuses

If a transaction expires before submission, use POST /ramp/order//regenerate_tx or POST /ramp/swap//regenerate_tx to get a new transaction.
Use webhooks for order tracking. Webhooks deliver updates as soon as they happen. If you poll the list orders endpoint instead, there may be a brief indexing delay before newly created orders appear.

​
Resources

The API manages these resources, all scoped to your organization:
  • Organizations (organizationId) — Your organization and any child organizations you create. Child orgs can be created programmatically via POST /ramp/organization and renamed via PUT /ramp/organization//name.
  • Customers (customerId) — Your end users who complete KYC. You generate this UUID during onboarding.
  • Bank Accounts (bankAccountId) — Mexican bank accounts linked to a customer. You generate this UUID during onboarding.
  • Wallets (publicKey) — Crypto wallet addresses registered during onboarding. Can also be registered programmatically via POST /ramp/wallet or scoped to a child org customer via POST /ramp/customer//wallet.
  • Orders (orderId) — Onramp and offramp transactions. You generate this UUID.
  • Webhooks — Event notification subscriptions.

​
Troubleshooting

ErrorCauseFix
Proxy account not foundcustomerId or publicKey doesn’t match onboardingUse the exact same IDs from the onboarding call
Bank account not foundbankAccountId doesn’t match onboarding or belongs to a different customerVerify the bank account was linked to this customer
401 UnauthorizedInvalid API key or incorrect auth headerUse Authorization: <api_key> with no Bearer prefix
Quote expiredOrder created more than 2 minutes after the quoteCreate a fresh quote

​
Common Pitfalls

  • IDs are permanently bound after onboarding. The customerId, bankAccountId, and publicKey are linked during onboarding. You cannot mix and match IDs across different customers.
  • Stellar: add trust lines before ramping. On Stellar, the customer’s wallet must have trust lines for the target assets (e.g., CETES, USDC) before tokens can be received. Use GET /ramp/assets to discover asset identifiers in CODE:ISSUER format for setting up trust lines.
