# Create wallet

`POST /v1/wallets`

Provisions a new wallet for the effective custody target, a provider-only resolved target, or an exact Custody Connection selected by connectionId.

## Request body

- object — Create wallet request body.
  - `connectionId` string — Optional exact Custody Connection target. When present, it is authoritative and provider is only a consistency assertion.
  - `provider` 'local' | 'fireblocks' | 'privy' | 'coinbase_cdp' | 'para' | 'turnkey' | 'dfns' | 'ibm_haven' | 'anchorage' — Optional provider target. With connectionId it must match that Connection; otherwise the effective/provider-only target is resolved for the scope.
