Coinbase Prime enforces an address book for all withdrawal wallet addresses. This means that before withdrawing any assets to an external wallet, the wallet address must be added to the address book in your Coinbase Prime account. Follow these steps to whitelist a wallet address using Coinbase Prime's standard interface:
Initiate a withdrawal from the Dfns dashboard to your desired Dfns wallet
If your address is already in the address book*, you will not have anything to do
If your address is not in the address book*, you will have an error message telling your to login to your Coinbase Prime Dashboard
Log into your Coinbase Prime account.
Click on the notifications, you should see a pending notification to add a trusted address.
Click on Approve to add the trusted address, the name of the address should start with dfns-...
This trusted address process adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized wallet addresses can receive withdrawals from your Coinbase Prime account.
