Lifecycle

How custody works

DepositCustodyInstructionApprovalSettlementReporting

Deposits

Generate deposit addresses per wallet; inbound transfers are screened before being credited.

Withdrawals

Each instruction is authenticated, passed through the policy engine and settled on-chain after approval.

Statements

Balances, transaction history and exportable records support reconciliation and audit.

Instruction channels

Submit instructions through the API or custom communication channels. Each instruction is authenticated and verified before it is acted on.

Account structure

Open multiple accounts and wallets to separate business lines, with the custody model chosen per account.

Onboarding

Complete business onboarding (KYB), then your custody account is opened and configured to your chosen model.

Support

Direct support for onboarding, operations and integration questions.
