What is Address Book?

Address Book is a Wallet feature that you can use as your list of crypto addresses that you use most. Manual errors that happen while you enter a crypto address to withdraw your assets are not unusual, not to mention viruses that can replace the address you copy and paste with the one owned by scammers.

Address Book is a simple way to store your frequently used and trusted addresses with no need to check the address you send funds to every time — it’s enough to check it once before adding it to the Address Book.

Whitelisting

For better protection of your assets, you can enable the Whitelisting feature. This way, you can withdraw funds only to addresses saved in your Address Book. All the new addresses will be added after the waiting period (from 24 hours to 7 days) is over. Refer to our article about the feature for more details.
