Satoshi Test & Address Book Feature

Published on 2025-04-22 06:49

What is the Address Book Feature?

You can now store frequently used addresses and its associating beneficiary information in the address book. Upon withdrawal, you can choose to select the address from the address book and the majority of the information can be pre-filled. This includes all of the information in the withdrawal questionnaire. 

Please note that you are still required to click through all the questionnaires and ensure all information is accurate before the transaction can be triggered. It is your responsibility to ensure the information provided is accurate and up to date. 

Why is my address status “Unverified”?

If the beneficiary address is an unhosted wallet, a satoshi test is required to “verify” the address. If it belongs to another VASP, you would have to go through the verification process by completing the withdrawal questionnaire to change the status into “Declared” or “Verified”

Once you complete the verification process and the questionnaire for a stored address, the questionnaire will be pre-filled with your inputs whenever you withdraw to this address from the address book.

What is the Satoshi Test?

A Satoshi Test verifies control  of a self-hosted wallet address by requiring the user to transfer a small amount of cryptocurrency to Binance within a specified timeframe. Successful completion proves control of the address, and the funds will be credited to your Binance account after the deposit questionnaire is filled out. If the transaction fails, the test can be retried again.

Why should I do a Satoshi Test?

It informs Binance Japan that you are the owner of the beneficiary address. It is not a strict requirement for you to perform the test and verify your address, but it does provide us with additional information for regulatory and compliance purposes. 

Why is my address status pending?

The verification process is still on-going, please wait for the status to be updated, meanwhile withdrawals made to this address will still have to complete  the questionnaire process but the information will be pre-filled.
