getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses

Retrieves the list of whitelisted withdrawal addresses configured in the user’s Kraken account. Kraken allows users to enable address whitelisting as a security feature. When enabled, withdrawals can only be sent to pre-approved addresses. Use this function to check if whitelisting is enforced and to get the list of approved destinations.

​
Usage

import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist } =
  await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();

if (enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
  console.log('User can only withdraw to these addresses:');
  destinations.forEach(dest => {
    console.log(`  ${dest.address} (${dest.tokens?.join(', ')})`);
  });
} else {
  console.log('User can withdraw to any address');
}

​
Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
clientDynamicClient (optional)The Dynamic client instance. Only required when using multiple clients.

​
Returns

Promise<TransferDestinationResponse> - A promise that resolves to: 
type TransferDestinationResponse = {
  destinations: TransferDestination[];
  enforcesAddressWhitelist: boolean; // true if user can only send to whitelisted addresses
};

type TransferDestination = {
  address: string;      // The whitelisted wallet address
  tokens?: string[];    // Currencies supported at this address (e.g., ['ETH', 'USDC'])
};

​
Understanding Whitelisting

enforcesAddressWhitelistBehavior
trueUser can ONLY transfer to addresses in the destinations array
falseUser can transfer to any valid address
When whitelisting is enforced, each destination address has a tokens array specifying which currencies can be sent to that address. Always filter destinations by the currency being transferred.

​
Examples

​
Basic usage

import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const checkWhitelist = async () => {
  const { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist } =
    await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();

  if (!enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    return { enforced: false, addresses: [] };
  }

  return {
    enforced: true,
    addresses: destinations.map(dest => ({
      address: dest.address,
      supportedTokens: dest.tokens || [],
    })),
  };
};

const whitelist = await checkWhitelist();
console.log('Whitelisting enforced:', whitelist.enforced);

​
Filter addresses by currency

import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const getAddressesForCurrency = async (currency) => {
  const { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist } =
    await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();

  if (!enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    // Any address is allowed
    return { enforced: false, addresses: null };
  }

  // Filter to addresses that support this currency
  const validAddresses = destinations.filter(
    dest => dest.tokens?.includes(currency)
  );

  return {
    enforced: true,
    addresses: validAddresses.map(dest => dest.address),
  };
};

// Usage
const ethAddresses = await getAddressesForCurrency('ETH');
if (ethAddresses.enforced) {
  console.log('Whitelisted ETH addresses:', ethAddresses.addresses);
} else {
  console.log('Any address can receive ETH');
}

​
Validate address before transfer

import {
  getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses,
  createKrakenExchangeTransfer,
} from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const safeTransfer = async (accountId, address, amount, currency) => {
  // Check whitelist requirements
  const { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist } =
    await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();

  if (enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    const isWhitelisted = destinations.some(
      dest =>
        dest.address.toLowerCase() === address.toLowerCase() &&
        dest.tokens?.includes(currency)
    );

    if (!isWhitelisted) {
      throw new Error(
        `Address ${address} is not whitelisted for ${currency}. ` +
        `Add it in your Kraken account settings before transferring.`
      );
    }
  }

  // Address is valid, proceed with transfer
  return createKrakenExchangeTransfer({
    accountId,
    to: address,
    amount,
    currency,
  });
};

// Usage
try {
  const transfer = await safeTransfer(
    'acc_123',
    '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f7ABCD',
    0.5,
    'ETH'
  );
  console.log('Transfer created:', transfer.id);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message);
}

​
Address selector dropdown (React)

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const AddressSelector = ({ currency, value, onChange }) => {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchAddresses = async () => {
      try {
        const response = await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();
        setData(response);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to fetch addresses:', error);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    };

    fetchAddresses();
  }, []);

  if (loading) return <div>Loading addresses...</div>;

  // If whitelisting is not enforced, show a text input
  if (!data?.enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    return (
      <input
        type="text"
        value={value}
        onChange={e => onChange(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Enter wallet address (0x...)"
      />
    );
  }

  // Filter addresses that support the selected currency
  const validAddresses = data.destinations.filter(
    dest => dest.tokens?.includes(currency)
  );

  if (validAddresses.length === 0) {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>No whitelisted addresses for {currency}.</p>
        <p>Add one in your Kraken account settings.</p>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return (
    <select value={value} onChange={e => onChange(e.target.value)}>
      <option value="">Select a whitelisted address</option>
      {validAddresses.map(dest => (
        <option key={dest.address} value={dest.address}>
          {dest.address.slice(0, 10)}...{dest.address.slice(-8)}
        </option>
      ))}
    </select>
  );
};

​
Check if custom addresses are allowed

import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const canUseAnyAddress = async () => {
  const { enforcesAddressWhitelist } = await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();
  return !enforcesAddressWhitelist;
};

// Usage in UI
if (await canUseAnyAddress()) {
  // Show free-form address input
  showAddressInput();
} else {
  // Show dropdown of whitelisted addresses only
  showAddressDropdown();
}

​
Group addresses by currency

import { getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const getAddressesGroupedByCurrency = async () => {
  const { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist } =
    await getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses();

  if (!enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    return { enforced: false, grouped: null };
  }

  const grouped = {};

  destinations.forEach(dest => {
    (dest.tokens || []).forEach(token => {
      if (!grouped[token]) {
        grouped[token] = [];
      }
      grouped[token].push(dest.address);
    });
  });

  return { enforced: true, grouped };
};

// Usage
const { enforced, grouped } = await getAddressesGroupedByCurrency();
if (enforced) {
  console.log('ETH addresses:', grouped.ETH);
  console.log('BTC addresses:', grouped.BTC);
  console.log('USDC addresses:', grouped.USDC);
}

​
Pre-flight check before showing transfer UI

import {
  getKrakenAccounts,
  getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses,
} from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const canTransferCurrency = async (currency) => {
  const [accounts, { destinations, enforcesAddressWhitelist }] =
    await Promise.all([
      getKrakenAccounts(),
      getKrakenWhitelistedAddresses(),
    ]);

  // Check if user has balance
  let hasBalance = false;
  let accountId = null;

  for (const account of accounts) {
    const balance = account.balances.find(b => b.currency === currency);
    if (balance && parseFloat(balance.balance) > 0) {
      hasBalance = true;
      accountId = account.id;
      break;
    }
  }

  if (!hasBalance) {
    return { canTransfer: false, reason: `No ${currency} balance` };
  }

  // Check if there's a valid destination
  if (enforcesAddressWhitelist) {
    const hasValidDestination = destinations.some(
      dest => dest.tokens?.includes(currency)
    );

    if (!hasValidDestination) {
      return {
        canTransfer: false,
        reason: `No whitelisted address for ${currency}. Add one in Kraken settings.`,
      };
    }
  }

  return { canTransfer: true, accountId };
};

// Usage
const ethCheck = await canTransferCurrency('ETH');
if (!ethCheck.canTransfer) {
  alert(ethCheck.reason);
} else {
  showTransferForm(ethCheck.accountId);
}

​
Prerequisites

  • User must have connected their Kraken account through Dynamic
  • Whitelisted addresses are managed in Kraken’s security settings, not through the Dynamic SDK

​
Notes

  • Address whitelisting is a Kraken security feature that users enable in their exchange account
  • When whitelisting is enforced, transfers to non-whitelisted addresses will fail
  • Each whitelisted address is associated with specific currencies via the tokens array
  • Users must add new whitelisted addresses directly in their Kraken account settings
