Auto Settlements - Blockradar

In a nutshell
Auto Settlements automatically convert incoming deposits to your preferred asset on any blockchain. Define rules once, and all matching deposits are swapped and routed to your destination chain—no manual intervention required.

Prerequisites

Before setting up auto-settlement rules, ensure you have:

API Key

Get your API key from the Blockradar Dashboard. Navigate to Developers to generate one.

Master Wallet Created

Create a master wallet via the Create Wallet API or dashboard. Rules are configured per wallet.

Destination Wallet

If settling cross-chain, ensure you have a wallet on the destination blockchain to receive converted assets.

Sufficient Gas

Fund your wallets with native tokens (ETH, BNB, MATIC, etc.) to cover swap and transfer fees.

Webhook Configured

Set up webhooks to receive settlement notifications. Depending on the action, you’ll receive swap.success/swap.failed, gateway.success/gateway.failed, or withdraw.success/withdraw.failed events. See Webhooks for details.

How It Works

Auto Settlements allow you to automatically convert incoming deposits into any destination asset on any blockchain network based on your configured rules. This eliminates the need to manually swap or bridge assets, ensuring your treasury can be automatically converted to your preferred assets across multiple chains.

Rules Management

Create and manage auto-settlement rules to automate asset conversions.

Asset Conversion

Automatically convert any stablecoin to any other asset based on your rules.

Cross-Chain

Settle assets to any blockchain network seamlessly.

Risk Management

Apply slippage tolerance and rules to protect against poor executions.

How Auto Settlements Work

1. Rule Creation

Define settlement rules that specify when and how deposits should be automatically converted.

2. Deposit Detection

When funds arrive at your addresses, Blockradar automatically detects deposits matching your rules.

3. Asset Conversion

Deposits are automatically swapped to your destination asset (typically USDC) on your chosen chain.

4. Balance Unification

All converted assets are consolidated into a single, unified balance on your destination chain.

Auto Settlement Rules

Rule Components

Each auto-settlement rule defines the following parameters:

Component	Description	Example
Rule Name	Descriptive name for your settlement rule	”Swap from USDC to Optimism USDC”
Order	Execution priority preference	FASTEST, CHEAPEST, RECOMMENDED, NO_SLIPPAGE
Slippage Tolerance	Maximum acceptable price deviation (%). Use `-1` for unlimited slippage	5 or -1
Source Assets	Array of assets to auto-settle	[“USDC”, “USDT”]
Source Min/Max Amount	Control deposit size that triggers settlement	Min: $1, Max:$ 1,000
Destination Blockchain	Target blockchain network	optimism, base, ethereum
Destination Asset	Target asset for conversion	USDC, USDT, cNGN, DAI
Destination Address	(Optional) Specific address to receive converted assets. If not provided, smart fallback logic applies	0x2455eC6700092991Ce0782365A89d5Cd89c8Fa22
Is Gateway	Enable gateway functionality for the rule	false

Rule Configuration Options

Amount Thresholds

Minimum Amount: Only settle deposits above this threshold
Maximum Amount: Cap the size of individual settlements
Batch Processing: Group multiple small deposits for efficiency

Slippage Protection

Unlimited: -1 (no slippage limit - default behavior)
Conservative: 0.1% - 0.5% (minimal price impact)
Moderate: 0.5% - 1.0% (balanced approach)
Aggressive: 1.0% - 2.0% (faster execution)

Setting slippageTolerance to -1 means unlimited slippage tolerance. This is the default behavior if not specified, allowing settlements to execute regardless of price deviation.

Destination Address (Optional)

The destination.address field is now optional. When not provided, the system uses smart fallback logic to determine the recipient address:

Scenario	Fallback Behavior
Explicit address provided	Uses the specified address
Same chain settlement	Uses the deposit address (source address)
EVM-to-EVM cross-chain	Uses the same address on the destination chain
Cross-chain (non-EVM destination)	Uses the destination chain’s master wallet address

For most use cases, you can omit the destination address and let the system automatically route funds to the appropriate address based on the settlement type.

Execution Preferences

Fastest: Prioritize speed over cost
Cheapest: Optimize for lowest fees
Recommended: Balance speed and cost with reliability
No Slippage: Execute only when no price deviation occurs

Rule Hierarchy and Precedence

How Rules Apply

Key Concept: Rules created on a master wallet automatically apply to all child addresses under that wallet. However, if you create rules directly on a child address, those rules will completely override the master wallet rules for that specific address.

Rule Level	Scope	Behavior
Master Wallet Rules	Apply to the master wallet AND all child addresses	Default rules for the entire wallet hierarchy
Child Address Rules	Apply only to that specific address	Completely override master wallet rules when present

Rule Application Order

Check for Child Address Rules: If the receiving address has its own rules, use those exclusively
Fall back to Master Wallet Rules: If no child address rules exist, apply master wallet rules
No Rules: If neither level has rules configured, no auto-settlement occurs

When a child address has its own rules, master wallet rules are completely ignored for that address—there is no merging or combining of rules.

Blockchain-Specific Rules

Important: Rules are isolated and tied to each blockchain. A rule configured for one blockchain (e.g., Ethereum) will NOT affect deposits on another blockchain (e.g., Base or Optimism).

This means:

You must create separate rules for each source blockchain you want to auto-settle
A rule for “USDC on Ethereum” will not trigger for “USDC on Base”
This allows granular control over settlement behavior per chain

Example: If you want to auto-settle USDC deposits from both Ethereum and Base to Optimism, you need two separate rules:

Rule for Ethereum USDC → Optimism USDC
Rule for Base USDC → Optimism USDC

Use Cases for Each Level

Master Wallet Rules

Consistent Strategy: Same settlement behavior across all child addresses
Simplified Management: Single place to configure default behavior
Bulk Operations: Apply rules to multiple addresses at once
Standardization: Ensure compliance and consistency

Child Address Rules

Testing: Try different settlement strategies on specific addresses
Custom Requirements: Address-specific settlement needs
Override Defaults: Modify behavior for particular use cases
Granular Control: Fine-tune settlement for specific addresses

Creating Auto Settlement Rules

Via Dashboard

Navigate to your wallet’s Auto Settlements section
Click “Create New Rule”
Configure rule parameters
Set amount thresholds and slippage tolerance
Choose source and destination assets/chains
Save and activate the rule

Via API

Create settlement rules programmatically using the Auto Settlement Rules API:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.blockradar.co/v1/wallets/{walletId}/auto-settlements/rules \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: <api-key>' \
  --data '{
    "name": "Swap from USDC to Optimism USDC",
    "order": "FASTEST",
    "slippageTolerance": "-1",
    "source": {
        "assets": [
            "USDC",
            "USDT"
        ],
        "minAmount": "1",
        "maxAmount": "1000"
    },
    "destination": {
        "blockchain": "optimism",
        "asset": "USDC"
    }
}'

In this example, slippageTolerance is set to -1 for unlimited slippage, and destination.address is omitted. The system will automatically use smart fallback logic to determine the recipient address.

With explicit destination address:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.blockradar.co/v1/wallets/{walletId}/auto-settlements/rules \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: <api-key>' \
  --data '{
    "name": "Swap from USDC to Optimism USDC",
    "order": "FASTEST",
    "slippageTolerance": "5",
    "source": {
        "assets": [
            "USDC",
            "USDT"
        ],
        "minAmount": "1",
        "maxAmount": "1000"
    },
    "destination": {
        "blockchain": "optimism",
        "asset": "USDC",
        "address": "0x2455eC6700092991Ce0782365A89d5Cd89c8Fa22"
    }
}'

  }
}

Identifying Auto-Settlement Transactions

The best way to identify auto-settlement transactions is by checking the metadata field. Depending on the action, the metadata will contain one of these keys:

Metadata Key	Description
`swapAutoSettlement`	Present when the auto-settlement triggered a swap operation
`gatewayAutoSettlement`	Present when the auto-settlement triggered a Gateway operation
`withdrawAutoSettlement`	Present when the auto-settlement triggered a withdrawal operation

Each metadata object contains:

Field	Description
`rule`	Complete auto-settlement rule payload that triggered this transaction
`settleAmount`	Amount that was settled according to the rule

When any of these metadata keys (swapAutoSettlement, gatewayAutoSettlement, or withdrawAutoSettlement) is present, the transaction was triggered by an auto-settlement rule. The rule field contains the complete rule configuration, not just an ID.

Key Webhook Data Fields

Field	Description
`toAmount`	Final amount received after swap (accounting for fees and slippage)
`rate`	Exchange rate used for the swap
`toAsset`	Destination asset details (USDT in this example)
`toBlockchain`	Destination blockchain network (Optimism in this example)
`toWallet`	Destination wallet that received the converted assets
`assetSwept`	Whether the original assets were swept after conversion
