A deposit is an on-chain transfer of a stablecoin (e.g. USDC, USDT) to a user’s EQX custody address. EQX monitors the blockchain, detects incoming transfers, and credits the user’s ledger balance once the required confirmations are reached.

​
Deposit addresses

Each user can have one or more deposit addresses — blockchain addresses managed by EQX custody. Provision one via POST /v1/api/deposit-addresses and share it with the payer or your on-chain flow. Addresses are reusable. Any transfer to the address — from any sender — is detected and attributed to the owning user.

Confirmation thresholds

Confirmation requirements vary by chain and asset. EQX applies conservative defaults to minimise re-org risk. The detected_at and confirmed_at timestamps on the deposit record mark each transition.
