A quick reference for the networks and currencies you can use. These are the values the API accepts today; more are added over releases.

Blockchain networks

An account is pinned to one network when it’s created, and its wallet lives there.

BASEEthereum L2.
AVALANCHEEVM C-Chain.
POLYGONPolygon PoS.
These are the chains the API supports; the chains available to your company are configured by Venly. Creating an account on a chain your company isn’t set up for returns 400 invalid-request with a message listing your supported chains — for example, “Chain ‘POLYGON’ is not supported by this company. Supported chains: [AVALANCHE, BASE]”.
On-ramp virtual bank accounts are provided through banking partners, and partner coverage rolls out per chain. Confirm availability for your chain with your Venly contact.

Stablecoins

Crypto balances, transfers, and permits use these assets (the asset field):
assetPegged to
USDCUSD
EURCEUR
USDTUSD
USDSUSD
The contract address for an asset on a given chain is returned by the API — see contractAddress in list wallets balances and in wallet allowances. Read addresses from the API rather than hard-coding them.

Fiat currencies

Fiat-denominated operations (fiat transfers, payment requests, pay-in sessions) accept:
currency
EUR
USD
GBP
Virtual bank accounts currently support EUR only — creating one provisions a EUR_SEPA IBAN. The other currencies are accepted for fiat-denominated operations, but not yet for IBAN provisioning.

How fiat converts to crypto

Fiat-denominated operations resolve to a stablecoin and settle on-chain. You name the target stablecoin — for example targetCryptocurrency on a virtual bank account, or the asset a pay-in session converts to. A fiat transfer reports the conversion it used in its fiatOrigin block (currency, amount, exchange rate).
