2. Environment Setup
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
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. |
