Issue one live partner API credential after review

Issuing a Production credential creates one abx_live_ API key for the exact approved partner app. The raw credential is shown once and must be stored securely. Issuance does not activate Mainnet, submit transactions, or move funds.

Four separate steps

  1. Review approval — the app is approved for the reviewed Production integration path. No key is created.
  2. Live key issuance — an operator explicitly confirms and receives one `abx_live_` credential once.
  3. Partner production configuration — the partner stores the key and configures their own backend.
  4. Explicit Mainnet execution — still a later, separate operator and partner action. Issuance does not activate Mainnet.

Boundaries

Sandbox keys stay `abx_test_`. Production keys are `abx_live_`. The raw secret is never written to activity, GET responses, errors, webhooks, or app objects. Rotation revokes the previous live key and shows a new raw secret once. Revocation marks the live key unusable without minting another.

Where this lives

Issuance is operator-only inside the Production-review control plane, not Partner Launchpad. Operator queue · Production review · Mainnet readiness
