Getting Started

In order to withdraw your funds after our security systems intervene in the event of a transaction to an outside address, you must set a withdrawal address.

This withdrawal address has the ability to retrieve the funds that are being held in the vault. Setting a withdrawal address will cost gas.

Identify a wallet address you own and trust

You can only withdraw recovered tokens from Harpie using a wallet you own. A withdrawal address can be a smart contract compatible multisig or a newly created Metamask wallet or anything in between.

Verify that you can access the wallet associated with the withdrawal address and that you have sufficient backups for it (i.e. seed phrase or private key backed up). As a rule of thumb: use a withdrawal address that is different from your connected wallet. Read more about best practices.

Initializing your withdrawal address during Recovery

You can initialize a withdrawal address when withdrawing an asset during the recovery process.

1. You will be asked to send assets to a new wallet

In the recovery process you will be asked to send your assets to another wallet then the one that is associated with your account. You will be asked to set a withdrawal address if not is not already set.

This modal above lets you see and open a prompt to edit your withdrawal address.

2. Enter Address into text field

When you try to set your withdrawal address, a modal will appear that looks like the image below.

  1. Enter a wallet address which you trust to receive your recovered assets into the text input field.

  2. Now you can continue with the recovery process.

This modal lets you edit or set your withdrawal address by inputting an address in a text field. You can always change the withdrawal address from your Security Dashboard during the recovery process.

3. Accept the transaction to complete

After entering a valid address, accept the transaction that appears on your wallet provider. Follow the instructions in the modal to finish your setup and continue to withdraw your recovered assets.

Changing your withdrawal address

To change your withdrawal address, you must have tokens that need to be withdrawn. You will arrive to a screen that allows you to view and edit your withdrawal address.
