Transaction Sources & Destinations

All transactions in Fireblocks must have a source and a destination. This article describes the available options depending on transaction type and status.

VAULT_ACCOUNT

An account in your Fireblocks Vault.

  • Creating a new transaction: available as a source and a destination.
  • Getting an existing transaction: available as a source and a destination.

EXCHANGE_ACCOUNT

A third-party exchange account connected to your workspace. The Fireblocks exchange integration supports initiating transactions to or from connected accounts and other addresses in your workspace enabling you to use your Transaction Authorization Policy and a unified interface for all your exchange accounts.

  • Creating a new transaction: available as a source and a destination.
  • Getting an existing transaction: available as a source and a destination.
    Note
    Fireblocks only identifies the source of an incoming transaction as an exchange account if the transaction was initiated within your Fireblocks workspace. Otherwise, the source is displayed as UNKNOWN. This includes transactions initiated using the exchange’s account portal.
