Overview

Overview

To improve the security of transactions from your workspace, we recommend whitelisting destination addresses.

Whitelisting addresses is a general security best practice that helps prevent potential loss of funds. It protects against issues such as malicious address manipulation or human error, like copying and pasting the wrong address and inadvertently sending funds to an unintended recipient.

Each whitelisting request needs approval from the Admin Quorum before funds can be transferred to that address. If any admin rejects the request, the address will not be whitelisted. However, you can submit a new request to whitelist the same address, which can be approved by the Admin Quorum at any time.

In Fireblocks, there are three types of whitelisted address entities, each capable of holding different asset addresses:

• External Wallets
• Internal Wallets
• Contracts

Best Practice

If you interact with a specific address multiple times, it should be added to the whitelisted addresses in your workspace.

Default Behavior

By default, to send funds to an address outside of Fireblocks, the address must first be whitelisted. If you want to permit transactions to non-whitelisted addresses, you should enable the One Time Address (OTA) feature in your workspace.
