Authenticate

Authenticate

Wraps Stytch's authenticate crypto wallet endpoint. Call this method after the user signs the challenge to validate the signature. If this method succeeds and the user is not already logged in, the user will be logged in, granted an active session, and the session cookies will be minted and stored in the browser. If the user is already logged in, the crypto wallet will be added to the user.crypto_wallets[] array and associated with user's existing session as an authentication_factor.

See Ethereum's EIP-1193 for an example of Ethereum's provider API.

Method parameters

crypto_wallet_type* string
crypto_wallet_address* string
signature* string
session_duration_minutes* int

Response fields

request_id string
status_code int
challenge string
