December 2024

Added the Set Asset Price feature in Tokenization

This feature consists of two major advantages:

Streamlined Eligibility: When deploying via Tokenization, you will automatically gain the ability to manage token prices through the UI.
Empowered Token Owners: as authorized tenant users, you have the capability to set or update prices for tokens deployed through Tokenization.

Screening of Network Transfers

Screening of Network transactions addresses a legacy gap from the beginning of the Screening service - the inability to get address resolution for a transaction going over the Fireblocks network in the early stages of a transaction's lifecycle. This has limited you when using compliance integrations and network transfers, and now, with this new feature, we are solving two issues: 1. We are addressing our key gap around Network transfers which was blocking us from driving up the adoption of Fireblocks Network; 2. We are increasing the coverage of Compliance checks, which was up until now blocking us from having a wider adoption and usage rate of the Fireblocks Compliance suite.

Added Token Allowance Manager

There are currently over 850+ customer workspaces that have some kind of open allowance today. This new feature will enable you to manage and close all unneeded allowances and in effect positively impact your overall security posture. The Token Allowance manager works out-of-the box and all you need to do is navigate to Web3 Access and then to the Token Allowance Tab. Once you move past the welcome screen, you are able to see a table holding all the data for allowances on your Workspace for Etherium smart contracts. You are able to sort them and revoke individual allowances. Once you select the Revoke button it initiates a contract call that you need to sign and once it's released, the updated status of revoked allowance is shown on the table.

Added Decimal Smart Inputs

We now added a new feature for interacting with smart contracts in the Manage Contract UI. Built in response to popular demand, this feature simplifies token interactions by eliminating the hassle of manually appending 18 decimals (or any specific decimal amount) to function inputs.

Tokenization now available in EU & EU2 regions

Tokenization is now available to all of you in these regions starting today. All features from Prod-US are now supported in EU environments, except for the gasless contracts, which will be released once the audit is finalized in the coming weeks.

November 2024

Added a major improvement to our Subscription Infrastructure

We added a significant improvement to how we manage and present customer data on the platform. Starting now, Salesforce will serve as the primary source of truth for all customer account and subscription details.

Added two Staking Enhancements

Migrating to Figment API V2 for ETH validators provisioning. With this change multiple Figment validators are being provisioned with one underlying API call, when staking batches of 32 ETH. Using the new API makes the validators provisioning process more stable and resilient, reducing failures when staking batches of ETH with Figment.
Prohibiting viewers and approvers from triggering stake actions,. Users with Viewer or Approver roles will no longer be able to trigger stake actions from the console and will be informed in advance, rather than failing at a later stage (with little understanding as to why).

Added Pricing page v2 & Webstore v1.1

We have now introduced our new Pricing page on the Fireblocks website.

Added Alignment of Billing Service Across All Infrastructures

The billing service, which was previously deployed only in the Prod US infrastructure, is now being expanded to include EU and EU2 environments. This deployment ensures that the billing service operates seamlessly across all infrastructures, providing consistent functionality for all customers.

Added Gasless Smart Contract Deployment & Contract Calls in Tokenization

In some regions the crypto regulatory framework is still evolving and organizations like banks are prevented from holding gas tokens. There's also use cases where companies want to leverage blockchain to develop gas-free end user experiences for their customers. ERC-2771 is a gasless standard for EVM chains that allows a third party, known as a “Relayer”, to hold and pay for gas on your behalf. Two key opportunities for gasless transactions in Tokenization are deployment via the contract library and contract operation via the smart contract interface. We've developed a parallel set of five Fireblocks Smart Contracts that support the ERC-2771 standard (ERC-20F, ERC-721F, ERC-1155F, Allowlist, Denylist), and we now support gasless transactions in the Tokenization Console and APIs.

Added Station70

We are releasing a new third-party backup integration with Station70, aimed at increasing tenant backups with third-party vendors to reduce risk. Similar to Coincover, Station70 supports both workspace key backups (a.k.a. Hard backup) and DRS passphrase backup (a.k.a. Auto-generated passphrase or Soft backup). Also, it supports enhanced self-serve access for you to manage your backups, quorums, and policies directly on Station70.

Added Testnet support on Fireblocks defi Extension

Through testnet support on the Fireblocks DeFi Extension we are now able to expand user access to the Web3 ecosystem. Learn more here.

Added Automation

The Automation feature makes it easy for teams to build and manage automation rules that eliminate manual and repetitive tasks. Our no-code workflow builder lets you configure custom triggers, conditions, and actions to automate daily tasks such as rebalancing accounts, managing account top-ups, orchestrating payment flows and transfers. Businesses that handle digital assets can reduce the time spent on frequent payment operations and quickly grow their business without increasing back-office workload.

Added Screening Service - First block confirmation timeout

Via mempools, Fireblocks is currently able to detect incoming transactions very early, even before a first block confirmation. Once detected, that incoming transaction is sent to our screening service AML provider (Chainalysis or Elliptic), which at this stage still does not know the transaction exists, and as a result screening cannot be performed. This results in a number of failed screenings due to premature registration with the provider. To solve this, we now introduce a systemic First block confirmation timeout that lasts up to 7 days, and which effectively covers almost all cases pending first block confirmation. This timeout enables us to exercise much more precision within the screening process and dramatically minimize the failed screenings.

Added Kingdom Bank Fiat Integration

We have now made Kingdom Bank available on Fireblocks’ platform as a Fiat Provider. This integration enables Kingdom Bank to provide digital asset banking services on the Fireblocks Network. The integration will allow you to make fiat transfers , on-ramp and off-ramp fiat currencies to exchanges, and provide a unified settlement experience and operational workflow for both fiat and crypto transfers. Learn more here.

Added Overage Indication

We have now released Overage Indication for those of you who are approaching or exceeding your subscription quota. This feature begins to be visible to you when you reach 90% of volume utilization.
You will then receive a proactive indication and have real-time visibility of your usage to manage your subscription quota effectively. This feature ensures that you are informed and can make timely decisions to avoid unexpected charges.

Added support for Bahamut

October 2024

Added Customer Usage Recording in Tokenization

Until now the primary unit of value in Tokenization was managed smart contracts. We billed you for linking or deploying smart contracts and provided them with access to Tokenization in one annual fee. However, we have not made quota information available to you or automated any warnings, restrictions or overages. For the purpose of broader functionality, we now record your usage relating to linking and deployment of smart contracts by using the Platform team's Usage Service. As their central dashboard rolls out, tokenization data will flow into it.

Added Control Gas Fee on Smart Contract Deployment in Tokenization

We added a way for you to specify gas fees paid during smart contract deployment and ensure deployment succeeds.

Added support for TON tokens

Fireblocks now supports a new fungible token standard on the TON blockchain, called Jettons.

Added Network Profile search clean up

In order to create a distinction between Network profiles you created - and ones we created for testing purposes, we designed a system ensuring all the profiles are properly labeled (client and internal). Network service is now consuming data from License service to ensure we are showing you only customer Network profiles. Also, internal users will only see Network profiles by other internal users.

Added Notabene Address book

Faced with the challenges to confirm address ownership, integration between Fireblocks vaults & wallets with Notabene Address book is now built, so you now have synced data in near realtime between Facebook generated addresses and your client’s Address book on the Notabene side.
This allows you to have the ownership for your addresses automatically confirmed.

Added Native Swap

Native Swap is now available, which allows you to swap securely every time, cut risk, and avoid glitches by managing swaps directly on Fireblocks. This new capability introduces an integration with Uniswap, and allows for same-chain swaps on the top EVM chains (Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB chain, Polygon, Base, and Arbitrum). This also includes UniswapX, a new auction-based protocol for trading across AMMs and other liquidity sources, providing better prices and saving network costs. learn more here.

Added a Retail Demo Application

In order to help you integrate with Fireblocks more efficiently, we developed a basic application with both frontend and backend components, which you can run locally. This setup allows you to explore, experiment, and get a real sense of how Fireblocks can be integrated into your own systems. Learn more here.

Added Off-exchange onboarding automation

We added two features that will significantly reduce your friction and onboarding time to Off-exchange, with a goal of getting down to a single-day onboarding time:

Automatic Collateral Signer creation: instead of having to log into the Collateral Workspace, find the right user role, get a csr file from the exchange, and send the exchange the pairing token, now every Collateral Workspace is already created with a Collateral Signer user, and we have enabled pairing token automatic pulling for the exchanges.
Collateral DRS automation: instead of a ticket being filled up for Ops, a manual flow trigger being pulled by Ops, a script being run by devOps, and an email back and forth with Coincover then executed manually by Ops, now, right after every Collateral Workspace is created, a mobile app notification goes to the owner to trigger the process. Once the owner approves, the process is then fully automated all the way to the DRS kit landing at Coincover.

Added a new modal when exporting transaction history

In order to improve our transaction history report generation time and success rate, we have modified the report's export behavior, and set the default timeframe to 90 days if no timeframe is specified. To support this change, we have introduced a new confirmation modal during the export process. The modal displays the filters selected by the user, and if no timeframe is selected, the default is automatically set to 90 days.

Added Nonce manager

We recently added the Nonce manager feature, with which we can now maintain the nonce in-house instead of fetching it from the node. This feature allows us to perform multiple transactions from the same tenant and blockchain concurrently, instead of performing only one transaction per tenant per blockchain at a time. Note: at the moment this feature is opt-in, so reach out to your Customer Success manager to request it.

Added Elliptic Holistic (V2)

Fro now on, in the Compliance Tab, you will be able to choose Elliptic Holistic as a provider. Elliptic Holistic's main improvement over Elliptic V1 is better coin support, as it now conducts holistic screening across different blockchains for each transaction, which results in a significantly larger coin coverage. Additionally, we have also improved our overall integration as well, and we cover some legacy edge cases. Learn more here.

Added Compliance 2.0 console experience with Toggle Switch for easier migration

As part of improving our KYT integrations to V2 we have improved the look and feel of Compliance flows. Now we have a more up-to-date design with the rest of the system, screening and post-screening policies that are easier to navigate. Most importantly, we have laid the ground for more modular additions of future improvements and features. Additionally, we are introducing a Toggle switch - an ability to seamlessly move from V1 to V2 of KYT integration (Chain or Elliptic) from the Console. This enables you to perform setup and configure V2 in parallel to V1 and have full control of which version/provider is Active and revert back if needed, making migration to new provider almost fully self served.

Added vault page UI improvements

We now better support lower resolutions and split screen window size than we did originally, prior to the previous UI improvements on the accounts page. Our fixes include gracefully breaking header line in lower resolutions, main tabs now reseting the list, list header names are no longer truncated below P90 string length, and more.

Added New API metrics in “Developer Area”

We now added new API metrics in the Developer Area for all Sandbox workspaces, both Testnets and Mainnets.

Improved clarity for Contract Call failures

Up until now when you initiated contract calls you sometimes encountering vague “internal error” /"dropped by blockchain" messages when smart contract operations failed. We have now deployed a new feature to propagate smart contract execution errors from the blockchain to our Console and API endpoints. Error messages generated by failed smart contract operations will now be relayed directly to you, providing clear and hopefully actionable information. A new transaction sub-status, SMART_CONTRACT_EXECUTION_ERROR, has been added to specifically identify these errors.

Added two new Web3 improvements

You can now boost stuck contract calls from the Console.
You can now disconnect dApps. Learn more here.

Added clarification to the "Create a key backup" modal

We have now made an adjustment to the user interface in the "Create a key backup" modal in order to improve our backup generation process. We have cut down on some unnecessary text and added a link to our new article about Generating a workspace key backup package. The article outlines what you will find in your backup package through a clear diagram and also offers a video guide that walks you through the process step-by-step.

Added Error Handling

We have now added the Error Handling feature. This feature came to solve often encountered unclear error messages, leading to confusion about the reasons behind errors. Fireblocks lacked clear BI events to aid in understanding and addressing errors effectively. This solution now empowers you to comprehend errors and take necessary actions; enable us to track errors for continuous improvement; and add BI events for both front-end and server events to gain insights into error reasons. See here for clear error examples.

Modified Co-Signer Onboarding experience

We have now implemented two changes to our Co-Signer onboarding experience:

To prevent confusion, we moved the API key outside of the setup box. This change prevents you from mistakenly entering the API key instead of the pairing token in your Co-Signer machine.
We have removed the download button from the Co-Signer section of the settings page. A click-to-copy button is still available.

Modified Smart Transfers ticket

We now cancelled the option to partially fund Smart Transfers ticket. The reason is that the user interface was not clear enough when canceling a partially funded Smart Transfers ticket, so you were expecting for the funds to be returned automatically, which is not the case. The reason for canceling a ticket was a wrong amount that was supposed to be sent by the Network Connection (there was an extra 0 added by mistake) that went unnoticed when submitting and funding a ticket. We now improved the UI to make it clear that canceling a partially funded ticket will not result in automatic return of funds.

Added support for Gas Station 2.0

The Gas Station 2.0 auto-fueling, self-service solution now replaces the previous Gas Station 1.0 model. The new feature allows to use any vault account as a designated Gas Station, which can be used to top off gas from your self-custodial vault account. This allows customers greater management and control over their Gas Station and its fees.

Added explanation for blocked transactions sent to non-whitelisted addresses

We have added a tooltip that explains why a transaction was blocked by your Transaction Authorization Policy (TAP) if the receiving address has not been whitelisted. This scenario occurs when your TAP does not allow you to send transactions to non-whitelisted addresses.

To see the message, hover over Destination is OTA when looking at the transaction in your Active Transfers panel. The tooltip includes a link to the Whitelisted Addresses page where you can whitelist the address before resending the transaction.

Added support for TON

We have added support to the TON blockchain. In this chain, every wallet functions as a smart contract. This capability enables TON users to add extra features to their wallets beyond basic storage and transactions. Learn more here.

Enhanced WalletConnect error messages

We have added more descriptive error messages for failed connections using WalletConnect. These error messages provide more details on failed connections and the steps you can take to resolve them.

Added Whitelisting Smart Contracts

When a Contract Call is blocked by policy due to a missing whitelisted address, we have now added a quick option to whitelist the specific contract address (without having to find and paste it) directly from the error tooltip. In case the address is already whitelisted we will not suggest it, and call out that a change in policy is required. Learn more here.

Added NFT Default Policy

Our TAP now includes a default policy for NFTs. If you use native NFT transfer support, you can now send NFTs to any whitelisted address with no need to edit the policy.

Added NFT Spam Audit Log Support

Our audit now includes "mark as spam/mark not as spam" events, allowing you to have a clear view of changes to NFTs stored in your library.

Added User Enforcement

The User Enforcement feature now added is specifically designed to align user addition with subscription tiers. This is an automated mechanism designed to enforce user addition limits based on subscription packages, making sure you pay for what you use, and receive the service level that aligns with your subscription.

Added First-time land improvements & Vault Intro Banner

We now released an educational banner about the vault which explains its basic value, with an option to watch a vault introduction video, as well as a link to how to structure your vault.

February 2024

Added Chainalysis V2 integration

We have now performed an upgrade of the post screening policy, and it now contains expanded risk score (low, medium, high and severe) and a new risk property called Exposure (which can be direct or indirect), allowing you more granular control. Additionally, we built a limited test scenario using testnet assets, allowing you to test out Chain V2 in your testnet environments (unlike the case in V1). Learn more here.

Added Verify Passphrase reminders

From now on, as a security measure, users with signing privileges (owner, admin, signer) will receive a monthly reminder on their Fireblocks mobile app to verify their recovery passphrase. This is called the "Periodic Security Check." Learn more here.

Added NFT Support on Base and Sepolia

NFTs on Base and Sepolia can now be viewed and managed both through the Console and API, and include native transfer support. Note that spam detection is only available for Base, and not Sepolia.

Added Network Link V2

We have now launched the new API connectivity layer for third-party providers. This enables providers, such as banks and exchanges, to integrate easily with Fireblocks. Learn more here.

Added ETH Staking fees callout

Added an improved NFT Transfer experience on mobile

We are introducing an improved transfer dialog on a mobile phone for NFTs. The new dialog includes improved details of the NFT, including its name and its image (if exists). Additionally, the new details screen includes the contract address, token id, block chain and Fireblocks NFT asset id.

Added Polygon MATIC Self-Serve Staking

From now on Polygon MATIC Self-Serve Staking is available for internal workspaces. You should be able to see the new protocol option on the Console’s Staking page. This now allows you to stake another popular staking asset, with ease and security, in addition to ETH and SOL, from both the Console and the native staking API. Learn more here.

Smart Transfers - Multiple assets

We have now released an update of Smart Transfers, enabling multiple asset tickets. You can now create tickets with multiple assets to be sent or received. This will help make settlements more efficient and easier to track. Each asset has to be funded independently and is still subject to all existing TAP rules. Learn more here.

January 2024

Added Spam detection and filtering for NFTs

From now on, incoming NFTs are scanned for common spam characteristics, such as low value or mass-produced collections, unverified creators or marketplaces, repetitive or nonsensical metadata or
suspicious transaction patterns. Learn more here.

Added an Embedded Wallets Multi-device feature

Embedded Wallets (formerly NCW) now support several devices in every wallet. This capability enables you to offer your end users the same seamless multi-device/platform experience they expect. You can now allow them to add several devices to an existing wallet (up to 10) while supporting any device type and combination that use our SDKs; see the same balance; initiate and sign transactions, and more.

Added a Native Staking API

We now offer a native Staking API. The new API exposes the native staking functionality now also via API, for the supported assets (currently SOL and ETH). This allows you to initiate staking transactions without the need for complex scripts or raw signing.

Added staking on Holesky testnet

It is now possible to use Holesky testnet for staking on all workspaces. You can now select ETH_TEST6 asset to test ETH staking on Holesky, to both Figment and Kiln, including for batch staking. Staking on Goerli will be deprecated soon.

Added new Recovery Utility

We developed a user-friendly, independent type of recovery application that can be run anywhere, regardless of machine type and software prerequisites.This new tool is designed to gradually replace the older DRS tool, which was known for its technical complexities and lack of user-friendly guidance. Learn more here.

Added new Self Serve Backup & Recovery

With the Self Serve Backup & Recovery, you can start your key backup process directly from your Console, get approved by an admin quorum, and get your key backup package immediately. Learn more here.

Added Additional blockchain support in DeFi extension

We added support to Holesky testnet and Chiliz in our DeFi extension.

Added Predefined destinations for TAP Stake rules

We added a set of all relevant staking destinations which is now built-in securely into the platform and available for selection when setting Stake TAP rules. This will improve your experience by simplifying the staking setup. You will no longer need to find what are all the relevant staking addresses (validators addresses for SOL and smart contract addresses for ETH), and will no longer need to whitelist them. Instead, you will just need to select from the available predefined options of the TAP destination parameter, including the ability to select "All Staking destinations".

Added CoSigner Callback RETRY action support

The Callback Handler can now return the new RETRY action. Additionally, when using API Co-Signers in a high availability configuration, the Callback Handler payload now includes the deviceId and userId parameters. The Callback Handler uses these parameters to identify which of the high availability servers made the request. Learn more here.

Added support for Arbitrum Sepolia and OP Mainnet (Optimism) Sepolia

Arbitrum and OP Mainnet (Optimism) are layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum, focused on improving transaction speed and cost. These integrations are part of our ongoing effort to add Testnet to every supported blockchain. Both chains are globally supported.
