# Rate limits (/concepts/rate-limits)



<!-- generated from docs/wallet-api/QUICKSTART.md §8 — edit THAT file -->

Per-key, per minute; your limit is configurable. Unauthenticated requests get a
deliberately tiny per-IP budget. On 429, honour `Retry-After` and back off
exponentially with jitter.

Separately, there is a **daily cap on address creation**. Every address we mint
must be watched forever, so this is metered independently of request rate. Cache
addresses on your side; do not call `POST /v1/wallets` on every page load — it is
idempotent, but it still counts.
