# Initiate a crypto deposit intent

> **Rate limit:** 60 requests per 60 seconds. This is the **default shared quota** — it is shared with every other endpoint that has no dedicated limit, so requests across those endpoints all draw from the same budget.

---

Initiates a crypto deposit intent for the authenticated user. Returns a wallet address to send crypto to, or triggers wallet creation if one does not exist. The user is identified from the OAuth token.

    ## Authentication


    Every request must be authenticated with exactly one of two options: an
    OAuth 2.0 access token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`), or the
    non-interactive credential pair (`x-api-key` + `x-user-key` headers). The
    two options are mutually exclusive — a request carrying both is rejected.
    Each operation lists the OAuth scopes that grant access as alternative
    security requirements: a bearer token needs only ONE of them, and the same
    permissions govern the credential pair.
