Info

Please note that adding a blockchain key to your account is a one-time action. In the future, you will only need to use the blockchain key you have created during this process to confirm transactions.

Steps to set up your personal digital signature (blockchain key):


1. Start the process

a. To add a new blockchain key to your account go to the gear icon (⚙) | Blockchain keys and click the gray Add new blockchain key button.

Warning

Only the first blockchain key under a newly created company is automatically approved by CargoX. If it is not the first blockchain key under a given company, then such key will need to be approved by your company administrator before you can start using it. All users with proper permissions within the company account will receive a notification reminding them that they can review and approve the newly added blockchain key. You will receive an email once your blockchain key has been activated.
