@liav To correct @cocreature slightly, you have to ask hub to create a multiparty token for you, which you can do using the cli [damlhub-cli - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/damlhub-cli), please see

`damlhub-cli ledger multipartyToken`

With that token you can make `submitMulti` requests as those are natural requests via the LedgerAPI. The only wrinkle is that all of the parties that you aggregate into a single token must be **controlled** by the party that created the ledger; which I think is true in your case.
