How to Enable Hodlnaut’s Withdrawal Whitelist Feature?
Hodlnaut’s Withdrawal Whitelist (Address Whitelisting) feature is an additional security feature besides the two-factor authentication (2FA). It ensures that the crypto assets in your Hodlnaut account are only sent to known and verified withdrawal addresses. In essence, with this feature, you can restrict crypto withdrawals to a list of known addresses only.
After enabling whitelisting from your account settings (steps mentioned below), you will be prompted to create a list of known addresses. Before we take a look at the steps, here is what you need to know about this feature:
- Once you enable Withdrawal Whitelist, you will not be able to withdraw funds until the address is added to your withdrawal list.
- You will have to wait for 48 hours before we approve the whitelist to go ahead with your withdrawal.
Note: We recommend that you add the known addresses to your whitelist right away so that you can seamlessly withdraw funds.
Why Enable Withdrawal Whitelist?
The Withdrawal Whitelisting feature is an additional security step that protects your crypto assets. For instance, if a hacker somehow gets a hold of your password and 2FA, he/she will not be able to withdraw your funds to their address without waiting for 48 hours. In the meantime, you will realize that your account is hacked, and you can thus contact us to take further action (like freezing your account).
We highly recommend enabling withdrawal whitelisting for utmost security, and here is how you can do it.
