You can lock any address in any bitcoin wallet you have connected to Zaprite. This tells Zaprite to ignore the address so that it can be used outside of our platform.

To lock a specific address, visit the Connections page and click through into the Bitcoin Wallet you want to manage.

In the recent addresses list, scroll down until you find the address you want to lock. Click the contextual menu on the right of the index/address and then select Lock address.

This will trigger a modal where you can confirm the Lock address action.

Please note that locking an address is a permanent action. You can not unlock an address, so it's best to avoid locking large numbers of addresses as this can effect gap limits and address reservation on your Checkouts.

The main benefit of locking an address is that it can be used outside of Zaprite. One reason for this might be a consolidation transaction.

If you lock an address, we will safely ignore it and not use it for any of your Checkout payments. This leaves you free to use the address for your consolidation transaction, and our platform will not be watching it for incoming payments.

This means the incoming amount will not be recorded by Zaprite and your Income Summary will accurately reflect only incoming payments received through the Zaprite platform.
