Raiden Bolt Quickstart

Get up and running with Raiden Bolt in under 2 minutes

1. Create Your Account

Go to raiden.wtf/dashboard and sign in with Discord.

2. Link or Register

New user: Click Register to create a new Raiden account. This generates your API key on the free Beta plan.
Existing user: If you already have a Raiden API key, click Link API Key to connect it to your Discord account.

3. Get Your API Key

Navigate to Raiden Bolt in the dashboard sidebar. Your API key is displayed on the Connect tab. Click the eye icon to reveal it, and copy it.

Keep your API key secret. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

4. Send Your First Transaction

Pick the edge region closest to your infrastructure and send a transaction:


curl -X POST http://fra.bolt.raiden.wtf/api/v1/sendTransaction \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "api-x-token: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "sendTransaction",
    "params": ["BASE64_ENCODED_TRANSACTION"]
  }'

Your signed transaction must include a SystemProgram.transfer to one of the Raiden tip addresses (minimum 0.001 SOL). Transactions without a valid tip are rejected.

5. Verify the Response


{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": "5VERv8NrdMSiGjLEoGKPqmCsR4WxgEfnT...",
  "id": 1
}

The result field is your Solana transaction signature. Look it up on Solscan or Solana Explorer .
