Third Party Signer

Overview​

The Third Party Signer guard requires a predefined address to sign each mint transaction. The signer will need to be passed within the mint settings of this guard.

This allows for more centralized mints where every single mint transaction has to go through a specific signer.

Guard Settings​

The Third Party Signer guard contains the following settings:

  • Signer Key: The address of the signer that will need to sign each mint transaction.

JavaScript — Umi library (recommended)

Here’s how we can set up a Candy Machine using the Third Party Signer guard.

const myConfiguredSigner = generateSigner(umi);

create(umi, {
  // ...
  guards: {
    thirdPartySigner: some({ signerKey: myConfiguredSigner.publicKey }),
  },
});

API References: create, ThirdPartySigner

JavaScript — SDK

Here’s how we can set up a Candy Machine using the Third Party Signer guard via the JS SDK.

const { candyMachine } = await metaplex.candyMachines().create({
  // ...
  guards: {
    thirdPartySigner: {
      signerKey: someWallet.publicKey,
    },
  },
});

In this example, the someWallet wallet will need to sign every mint transaction.

Mint Settings​

The Third Party Signer guard contains the following Mint Settings:

  • Signer: The required third-party signer. The address of this signer must match the Signer Key in the guard settings.

JavaScript — Umi library (recommended)

When minting via the Umi library, simply provide the third-party signer via the signer attribute like so.

create(umi, {
  // ...
  guards: {
    thirdPartySigner: some({ signer: myConfiguredSigner }),
  },
});

JavaScript — SDK

When minting via the JS SDK, simply provide the third-party signer via the signer attribute like so.

const { nft } = await metaplex.candyMachines().mint({
  // ...
  guards: {
    thirdPartySigner: {
      signer: someWallet,
    },
  },
});
