Deposits

In order to generate a new on-chain deposit address for a selected currency use the private/create_deposit_address method. Each subaccount has its own deposit address. Only verified accounts can generate addresses.

Example Request: 

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 7538,
  "method": "private/create_deposit_address",
  "params": {
      "currency": "BTC"
  }
}

Response: On success the API returns an object with:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 7538,
    "result": {
        "address": "2N8udZGBc1hLRCFsU9kGwMPpmYUwMFTuCwB",
        "creation_timestamp": 1550575165170,
        "currency": "BTC",
        "type": "deposit"
    }
}

If you already generated an address and only want to retrieve it, use /private/get_current_deposit_address with the same currency parameter. This returns the existing address and its status.

In order to obtain a list of completed or pending deposits for a selected currency, use the private/get_deposits method. This method returns information about past deposits, including the deposit address, credited amount, last update time, current status (pending or completed), and the blockchain transaction hash. The API provides the same details that are visible in the web deposit history.

Example Request: 

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 5611,
  "method": "private/get_deposits",
  "params": {
      "currency": "BTC",
      "count": 10,
      "offset": 0
  }
}

Response: The result has the fields count and data. Each entry in data includes:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 5611,
  "result": {
        "count": 1,
        "data": [
          {
              "address": "2N35qDKDY22zmJq9eSyiAerMD4enJ1xx6ax",
              "amount": 5,
              "currency": "BTC",
              "received_timestamp": 1549295017670,
              "state": "completed",
              "transaction_id": "230669110fdaf0a0dbcdc079b6b8b43d5af29cc73683835b9bc6b3406c065fda",
              "updated_timestamp": 1549295130159
          }
      ]
  }
}

If you receive an empty list, the deposit may not have enough confirmations. Deposits on Deribit are credited a few minutes after the required number of confirmations. Ensure that you are using the correct protocol and network and that the account is verified.

For deposits exceeding AED 3 500 (about USD 953), Deribit must collect and exchange originator data with the sending VASP. If the required information is not received, the deposit will still be credited. However, those funds will be locked and cannot be used for any activity, including withdrawals, transfers, opening new positions, or spot trading, until the originator details are supplied.

In order to provide the originator’s details for deposits that require Travel Rule compliance, you can either:

In the web interface, deposits arriving from a new blockchain address are marked with a Missing Info label, prompting you to submit the originator’s information.
