Use this path when your backend is the integration boundary. This usually means your server owns user identity, needs to provision wallets programmatically, automates wallet operations, or calls Para from server-side code.Documentation Index

Choose This Path If
- Your backend owns user authentication or maps existing users to Para wallets.
- You want to create or pregenerate wallets before users visit your app.
- You want HTTP endpoints, cURL, or language-native clients instead of a client SDK.
- You want server-side helpers for sessions, pregeneration, automation, or chain operations.
REST API and Node & Server are related but not identical. REST API is the direct HTTP surface. Node & Server is the SDK path for backend JavaScript integrations.
Integration Lifecycle
Create a Para project
Create a project and API key in the Developer Portal, then review Developer Portal setup. Protect backend API keys before making requests.
Pick REST API or server SDK
Use the REST API for direct HTTP wallet operations. Use Node & Server when you want server-side SDK helpers in a JavaScript backend.
Connect users and wallets
For REST, start with REST setup, REST SDK, multi-wallet setup, or permissions. For server SDK, start with sessions or pregen.
Sign from the backend
Use the REST endpoints or server SDK chain guides for EVM, Solana, Cosmos, or Stellar signing.
Prepare for launch
Review IP restrictions, API key handling, webhooks, the Go Live Checklist, and Production Deployment.
