Withdrawal operations
Pull funds from exchanges to Dfns wallets. Some exchanges require whitelisting withdrawal addresses.
Exchange withdrawal limits and verification requirements vary by exchange and account type. Check your exchange documentation.
Policy controls
Whitelist exchange addresses
Create a policy to restrict transfers to known exchange deposit addresses:
- Add exchange deposit addresses to a recipient whitelist policy
- Block or require approval for non-whitelisted recipients
- Apply to wallets with a
trading tag
Large transfer approvals
Require approval for large transfers to exchanges based on transaction amount limits. See how to create exchange policies.
Address management
Exchange address whitelist
Some exchanges (particularly Coinbase Prime and Kraken for certain account types) require whitelisting withdrawal addresses:
- Add your Dfns wallet addresses to the exchange’s allowed list
- Complete any verification period required by the exchange
- Then withdrawals to those addresses will be permitted
Address book
Add exchange deposit addresses to your address book:
- Use clear labels (e.g., “Kraken-ETH-Deposit”)
- Include the network in the label
- Helps prevent address poisoning attacks
See how to manage your address book.
