Understanding balances

When viewing wallet balances in Palisade, you'll see different balance types that reflect the availability and status of your funds.

Balance types

Balance TypeDescription
TotalThe sum of all funds in the wallet (available + frozen + pending)
AvailableFunds that can be used immediately for outgoing transactions
FrozenFunds from transactions that have been frozen for compliance review
PendingFunds from transactions currently awaiting a freeze decision

When balances differ

Your available balance may be less than your total balance when:

  • Transactions are frozen: Incoming deposits have been manually frozen or automatically frozen for review. These funds remain in the "Frozen" balance until unfrozen. See Manage Transactions for more information on freezing transactions.

  • Transactions are pending: Incoming transactions that are awaiting a freeze decision. Once confirmed, these amounts move to either "Available" or "Frozen".

Viewing balances

You can view your wallet balances in the Palisade console from:

  • The vault overview, which displays balances for all wallets
  • Individual wallet pages, which show balances for that specific wallet
