How to Whitelist Crypto Wallet Addresses

Published, 17 September, 2020

Wallet Address Book & Allowlisting

Within your BlockFi account you have the option to add crypto wallet addresses to the Wallet Address Book. This allows you to pre-select from frequently used crypto wallet addresses when withdrawing.

If you’d like to add another layer of security to your BlockFi account, you can enable Allowlisting. When enabled, you can only withdraw to addresses that have been added to your Wallet Address Book. If you don’t have any addresses saved, it enables you to maintain a ban on all withdrawals.

How to use your Wallet Address Book:

Navigate to the ‘Wallet Addresses’ category of your profile.
Select the ‘+New Address’ button located in the top right section of the screen to add a crypto wallet address.
Add a name to the address for easy reference.
Enter the 6-digit code sent to your email to save the address.
When withdrawing, choose the address you’d like to use from the drop-down menu within the withdrawal request screen.

Enabling Allowlisting:

Log in to your account.
Click on your name in the upper right corner, and select ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
Within ‘Settings’ , select the ‘Wallet Addresses’ category.
Select ‘Manage Settings’ to enable Allowlisting.
Enter the 6-digit code sent to your email.
Once Allowlisting is enabled, you will receive an email confirmation.

Please note: You cannot request withdrawals for 7 days after enabling Allowlisting. After the 7-day window, you’ll only be able to make withdrawals from the wallet addresses you’ve added to your Wallet Address Book. Additionally, when Allowlisting is enabled, there will be a 7-day waiting period before you can make withdrawals to all newly added wallet addresses.

Disabling Allowlisting:

Log in to your account.
Click on your name in the upper right corner, and select ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
Within ‘Settings’ , select the ‘Wallet Addresses’ category.
Select ‘Manage Settings’ to disable Allowlisting.
Enter the 6-digit code sent to your email.
Once Allowlisting is disabled, you will receive an email confirmation.
