Wallet Activity

Overview

Activity can include deposits, withdrawals, token transfers, swaps, approvals, staking, contract calls, message signatures, device registration, signer changes, and recovery actions. Some events occur on-chain, while others exist only in wallet or provider logs.

Blockchain data alone does not show failed signing attempts, user identity, device changes, or business purpose. Conversely, provider logs may mark a request complete before final settlement. Token approvals and typed-data signatures can create future authority without immediately moving assets.

Monitoring should combine on-chain events, wallet logs, identity records, approval evidence, and internal transaction data. Alerts need risk-based thresholds for unusual destinations, amounts, permissions, devices, or timing. Every event should retain stable identifiers and owner context. Investigations must distinguish authorized operational changes from compromise, and completed financial activity should reconcile to treasury and accounting records.

Wallet Activity should be distinguished from the asset balance and from the application that displays it. For example, a customer-facing success message does not prove that the intended transaction executed on the correct network; operations should verify execution and reconcile the result before irreversible fulfillment.

Production ownership for Wallet Activity should identify the user or legal entity, supported assets and networks, address model, custody boundary, signing authority, recovery method, and systems permitted to request or observe transactions. For Wallet Activity, these fields determine who can act and which evidence is authoritative.

The Wallet Activity workflow operates through several distinct states: request creation, user or policy approval, signature generation, network submission, execution, confirmation, balance recognition, and accounting. For Wallet Activity, a wallet interface or provider response can report progress, but it cannot replace verified transaction and ledger evidence.
