Advanced XRPL Simulator

Regular Key Simulator

A regular key is a separate key pair authorized to sign transactions for an XRPL account. It helps reduce exposure of the master key, but it must be managed carefully.

Important warning

Do not disable your master key unless you fully understand regular keys, multisig, recovery, and have tested your signing path. A mistake can permanently lock you out.

1. Master Key Controls The Account +
Master Key 🔑 → XRPL Account

The master key is the original authority for an XRPL account. If exposed, the account can be at risk.

2. Create A Separate Signing Wallet +
New Wallet 🔐 = Regular Key Candidate

You generate another XRPL key pair. This key can be assigned as the regular key.

3. SetRegularKey Transaction +
AccountSet → RegularKey

The account submits a SetRegularKey transaction that authorizes the new key to sign transactions.

4. Regular Key Signs Daily Activity +
Regular Key ✍️ → Transactions

The regular key can now sign for the account. The master key can stay offline and be used less often.

5. Master Key Can Remain As Recovery +
Master Key 🧊 = Emergency Authority

Many users keep the master key offline as a recovery authority while using the regular key for operations.

6. Master Disable Is Advanced +
Disable Master ⚠️

Disabling the master key can reduce one attack path, but if your regular key is lost and no multisig path exists, access can be lost.
