Create a withdrawal request

Permissions required: Initiate withdrawals

Identify the sending asset

To initiate a withdrawal from a wallet to an external destination, you must identify which asset you’d like to withdraw funds from. Provide a source (with id and type).

Identify the receiving resource

Choose a resource to receive the funds as the destination. This resource may belong to your organization (wallet) or another organization (address, standing instruction).

Permissions

The provided API key must be associated with a permission group that has Initiate withdrawals permission for the sending vault.

Additional Metadata

You may provide a description with each withdrawal, that will be visible within your organization in the Anchorage Digital iOS Application.

Successful Withdrawals

If the withdrawal request is valid, the request will initiate a withdrawal transaction from the sending wallet. This is a common withdrawal that, unlike Transfers, will still require a quorum of approvals on the Anchorage Digital iOS app and will undergo manual Anchorage Digital Risk Review. Like other transactions, these withdrawals will be visible on the Anchorage Digital iOS Application, the Web Dashboard, and in the list transactions API endpoint.

Unsuccessful Withdrawals

A withdrawal request may fail for any of the following reasons:

An ongoing withdrawal already exists (unlike transfers, withdrawal requests are not queued)
The specified asset does not exist
The specified amount exceeds the available funds for this asset (insufficient funds)
The destination address is invalid
The provided API key does not have permissions to initiate withdrawals from this wallet

If the initiated withdrawal is approved by the quorum, the transaction may fail for any of the following reasons:

There are insufficient funds to pay the blockchain network fee at the time of this transaction
There is a failure on the blockchain
