Describing the Deposit Flow

  1. Once a payment is first detected on the blockchain, a transaction with type DEPOSIT and status DETECTED is created.
  2. The respective blockchain will process the transaction and it may contain errors if unsuccessful.
    1. If YES to any errors then the DEPOSIT is assigned FAILED as this action is irreversible.
    2. If NO to any errors the DEPOSIT status is updated to UNCONFIRMED and is monitored until desired confirmation threshold is reached. More on confirmation threshold in our FAQs
  3. Once the required number of confirmations are reached the DEPOSIT is moved to CONFIRMED state.
  4. A check is made to see if the transaction needs to be screened against any fraudulent activity.
    1. If NO then it is set to the final state of SUCCESS and the funds are available within the asset pool.
    2. If YES then the state is updated to SCREENING_REQUESTED.
  5. An automatic check is made to see if the funds can be released.
    1. if YES then it is set to the final state of SUCCESS and the funds are available within the asset pool
    2. if NO then the DEPOSIT it held for manual review and set to state HELD.
  6. The deposit is then checked for manual approval.
    1. If the DEPOSIT is checked and found to be eligible for approval, it is updated to the final state of SUCCESS and the funds are available within the asset pool.
    2. if the DEPOSIT was not found eligible for manual approval then it is rejected and set to the final state of REJECTED.
