Xyxyx API Keys

Overview

Xyxyx API Keys are ERC-721 tokens that integrate API key functionality within the Xyxyx API. Each API key is tokenized as an ERC-721 token.

Xyxyx is pioneering a novel approach to API authentication by tokenizing API keys and leveraging blockchain technology. This method moves beyond traditional protocols like OAuth, offering permissionless, trustless, and decentralized access to the Xyxyx API.

Authentication

We've designed the Xyxyx API's authentication system so that Xyxyx API Keys can be clustered. This means that multiple keys held by a single address will aggregate their respective call limits, enabling greater API throughput.

For example, an address holding two Xyxyx API Keys will receive 2x the API calls per 24-hour period, three keys provide 3x calls, four keys offer 4x calls, and so on, allowing for scalable access.
