This guide explains what wallet whitelisting is, why it’s important, and how NOWPayments has optimized the interface for user convenience. We’ll highlight the improvements in usability and security.
Key Updates:
1. Payments Settings — Payout Wallets
• New Whitelist Request Button: The button to add a wallet to the whitelist is now highlighted with a pink icon, making it easier to access.
• Auto-Prompt for Whitelisting: After adding a new wallet, a modal window automatically appears, prompting you to whitelist the address.
2. Mass Payouts — Whitelist Addresses
• “Whitelist Addresses” Tab Highlighting: When there are changes (e.g., a new whitelist request or a status update), the tab is highlighted, ensuring users don’t miss updates.
• New Whitelist Management Panel: Depending on whether the whitelist is enabled or disabled, a corresponding panel is displayed. Users can also send a request to disable the whitelist directly from this section. (Screenshots 4, 5)
3. Custody
• Improved Redirections from the “Withdraw” Button:
• If a user tries to withdraw funds to a non-whitelisted wallet address, the system guides them step-by-step through the process of adding the wallet to the whitelist.
• Similarly, if a withdrawal is attempted from an unknown IP address, the system redirects users to the section for adding the IP address to the whitelist.
Why Are These Updates Important?
• Enhanced Security: Users can now easily manage their lists of trusted wallet and IP addresses, reducing the risk of unauthorized withdrawals.
• Simplified Usability: The whitelisting process is now more intuitive, even for beginners.
• Faster Withdrawals: Clear steps and improved transparency streamline the process.
How to Use the New Features:
1. Go to Payments Settings → Payout Wallets to add a wallet and request whitelisting.
2. For mass payouts, navigate to Mass Payouts → Whitelist Addresses to manage your addresses.
3. If withdrawing funds to a new address, follow the system prompts to whitelist the address quickly.
