Consolidation is a process of transferring digital assets from a deposit wallet and consolidating them into a destination wallet, typically a cold wallet. In Liminal, you can transfer assets from multiple addresses within your deposit wallet and consolidate them into a destination wallet, using the Consolidate wallet assets API. Each address in a deposit wallet is associated with an individual customer, where they deposit their digital assets. The API automatically includes addresses with assets above the default balance thresholds.

Default address balance thresholds

Liminal has set default balance thresholds for each address in a deposit wallet to process consolidation. If an address balance falls below the threshold, its digital assets will be excluded from consolidation during an API call. The API supports wallets for both UTXO and non-UTXO chains, allowing consolidation of native coins and tokens. The table below provides the minimum balance thresholds of native coins and tokens for UTXO and non-UTXO chain wallets supported by the API.

Note: Stellar, Ripple, and Cosmos chain wallets do not support consolidation because they use a single wallet address, where memos or tags are used to identify each depositor, rather than separate wallet addresses. You can send assets directly from Vaults user interface for warm MPC wallets or using the Create transaction requests (v2 wallet) API for hot (deposit) wallets.

To learn about the different use cases of the API, refer to the Consolidate wallet assets API section of this document.

You can set up a CRON job to automatically run the consolidation API at defined intervals. To learn more, see Automate consolidation.

You can customise the consolidation rules like setting up the balance thresholds for addresses, using the Smart Consolidation feature. To learn more, see Smart Consolidation.
