​

    "wallet_chain": "base"
  }'

​
Example Request (Rolla Transfer)

For sending funds to another Rolla business. Use recipient_business_id to identify the target business. You can send in any supported currency. 
curl -X POST "https://api.rolla.xyz/api/v1/external/beneficiaries" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "currency": "USD",
    "withdrawal_method": "rolla_transfer",
    "label": "Partner company",
    "account_name": "Acme Corp",
    "recipient_business_id": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-defa-456789012345"
  }'
recipient_business_id is the Rolla-assigned UUID of the destination business. Each currency requires a separate beneficiary record — you cannot reuse the same recipient_business_id + currency combination.
