Whitelist Management
Whitelisting restricts which addresses a token contract can interact with. It is a governance control that prevents assets from being sent to unapproved destinations.
#Token whitelists
A token whitelist is a set of approved addresses attached to a specific token contract. When you send that token to an external address, the destination must be on the token's whitelist. Addresses that are not whitelisted for the token are not available as destinations.
You manage token whitelists from the Whitelist page. You select a token contract, then view and manage the addresses approved for it. Whitelisting is managed per token: an address approved for one token is not automatically approved for another.
Whitelisting is scoped to each token contract, not to a vault as a whole. When you approve an address, you are approving it for the specific token you selected. Manage each token's whitelist separately.
#The Address Book
The Address Book is a workspace-level list of saved addresses. It is a convenience layer: you save an address once, then reuse it when you whitelist it for a token or select it as a transfer destination. Saving an address to the Address Book does not by itself approve it for any token. Approval happens when you add the address to a token's whitelist.
Two layers work together. The Address Book is where you keep the addresses your workspace uses. A token whitelist is where you approve specific addresses for a specific token. An address must be on the token's whitelist before that token can be sent to it.
