Authentication Intro

Authentication is a crucial and prerequisite step for your end users to access, trade, or transfer funds using their CEX account or DeFi Wallet. It involves authentication with one of our 300+ providers. Once authentication is completed, the Mesh SDK (available for Web, React Native, iOS, and Android) will emit an access token provided by the chosen provider. Application developers can then store this access token, enabling seamless user interactions for subsequent operations within Mesh Link or by calling our RESTFul APIs.

What is a "token"

AccessToken or AuthToken is a generated secret (sequence of symbols) that is emitted by Mesh Link SDK upon successful account authentication and used in subsequent requests to access the user's data.

Each token represents a connection between a particular user (typically, an end user of a client) and the user's brokerage/exchange/wallet account.

The token grants access to the user's data and enables the execution of read and (based on the integration) write operations. Therefore, it is essential to store the token with utmost security measures in place.
