โ Address book Types have changed: marking an address as CONTRACT is no longer supported. Please see Address book Types section below and contact support if it is not clear
Address Book
You can use TrustVault Web to add Address Book entries. These can consist of the following fields:
Field Name | Usage | Notes |
Chain Type | The specific chain that the address is valid on | Select from the drop down. All EVM addresses are included in the type of ETHEREUM with the exception of BINANCE_SMART_CHAIN which needs to be listed separately |
Name | The name you want to give the address book | 50 character limit |
Address | The actual chain specific address | The correct checksummed (if possible) address |
Label | An optional additional label for longer information | 100 character limit. Only displayed in the address book view |
Type | The type of address that is being added and it's use cases | Can provide the following options:
See below for more information |
Counterparty Name | Registered company name or full name of the natural person that owns the address | Must only be provided if you have selected the address as a "Travel Rule" address |
Cryptoasset Business | The Cryptoasset Business that hosts the counterparty. For example, for transactions to/from a Coinbase wallet, select Coinbase | Must only be provided if you have selected the address as a "Travel Rule" address |
Address Book Types
Note: If you have co-signing rules enabled, the type(s) of the address can have an impact on whether the rule passes.
When adding an item into the Address Book you can determine the use case(s) of the address which will impact how it can be utilised. The following types can be applied to an Address Book entry:
Type | Description |
Recipient | This address can have funds transferred directly to it via native transfer or ERC-20 token transfer. It will also show up in the dropdown of Address Book options when creating a transaction via TrustVault Web. |
Travel Rule | When sending a transaction which requires Travel Rule, we can automatically fill in the required Travel Rule information when you send or receive transactions. If selected, the Counterparty information must be provided alongside the other Address Book information |
TrustVault Web
Once an item is in an address book it will be made available in TrustVault Web when sending a transaction. See below: You can select the Address Book tab which will show all items that are in the address book for the corresponding chain.
Note: You will only see address book items which are of type "Recipient".
Note: You can ask Bitpanda Custody Support to enable the address book only support for creating transactions. This will prevent users from being able to insert any address in the "to" field and only be able to use addresses in the address book.
Please note, that this is a UI enabled only feature. API users will still be able to set the "to" address. If you wish to enforce an address book rule we recommend using our co-signing rules. Please reach out to Bitpanda Custody Support for more information.
