2\. Environment Setup [#2-environment-setup]

2-1. Register Your Dev Server [#2-1-register-your-dev-server]

Follow these steps to register your development server in the CodeVASP dashboard:

| Step | Action                                              | Description                                                                                                                        |
| ---- | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1    | Navigate to **Development → Environment Info**.     | Ensures you can access the environment configuration settings.                                                                     |
| 2    | Select the **Development** tab.                     | Confirms you are working in the **sandbox (testing)** environment, not the live production environment where real funds move. |
| 3    | Click the **Register** button.                      | Opens the form to input your server details.                                                                                       |
| 4    | Select your **Country Code**.                       | Regulatory compliance is critical in crypto; the system must know which jurisdiction your VASP operates in.                        |
| 5    | Enter your **URL**.                                 | This is your dev server's address — the endpoint where CodeVASP will send requests and Travel Rule data.                           |
| 6    | Click **Generate** for the Public/Private Key pair. | This is the most critical step. You are generating a cryptographic key pair to secure all data exchanged with CodeVASP.            |
| 7    | Click **Register** (the final confirmation).        | Saves your configuration and officially links your server to the CodeVASP platform.                                                |

2-2. Whitelist Your IP Address [#2-2-whitelist-your-ip-address]

After registering your server, you must configure IP whitelisting for secure communication:

| Step | Action                                                                               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1    | Go to **Development → Environment Info**.                                            | Confirms you can access the environment configuration.                                                                                                                                            |
| 2    | Ensure the **Development** tab is active.                                            | Confirms you are still configuring the test environment, not production.                                                                                                                          |
| 3    | Click **Request Change**.                                                            | Unlocks the **Travel Rule IP WhiteList** section for editing.                                                                                                                                     |
| 4    | Click the **+** button.                                                         | Opens the field to add a new trusted IP address.                                                                                                                                                  |
| 5    | Enter your IP address followed by the CIDR notation (usually `/32` for a single IP). | This explicitly tells CodeVASP to trust requests originating from this specific IP address.                                                                                                       |
| 6    | Click **Confirm**.                                                                   | Submits your request to the CodeVASP administrator. Note: it can take **up to one business day** to be applied.                                                                                   |
| 7    | ⚠️ **Critical Reminder**                                                             | IP whitelisting is a **two-way street**. Not only must you register your IP with CodeVASP, but you must also **whitelist CodeVASP's IPs in your own company firewall** to allow inbound requests. |
