Transaction Freeze and Compliance Controls

We're excited to announce powerful new compliance and risk management features that give you greater control over incoming transactions and fund availability.

What's New

🔒 Transaction Freeze Controls

Take immediate action on suspicious or high-risk transactions with our new freeze capabilities:

• Freeze Transactions: Instantly freeze any incoming transaction for compliance review
• Unfreeze with Confidence: Release funds after completing your review process
• Complete Audit Trail: Track every freeze and unfreeze action with detailed history including who made the decision, when, and why

🎯 Automatic Freeze Settings

Configure wallets to automatically freeze all incoming transactions for review:

• Enable automatic freezing on high-risk or compliance-sensitive wallets
• Review and approve transactions before funds become available
• Perfect for wallets requiring additional oversight or regulatory compliance

📊 Enhanced Balance Visibility

Get complete clarity on your fund availability with new balance breakdowns:

• Total Balance: See all funds in your wallet
• Available Balance: Know exactly what you can spend right now
