Address verification is in Developer Preview. Endpoints and schemas are subject to change. To participate, contact Paxos Support.
Every API-created verification starts as PENDING and resolves to either APPROVED or EXPIRED.

​
PENDING

The verification is awaiting completion. What that looks like depends on the method:
MethodWhat you need to doHow Paxos resolves it
SIGNATURESign signature_verification.message and submit via Submit SignatureApproves immediately on a valid signature
SMALL_DEPOSITSend the exact amount shown in small_deposit_verification.amount from the address under verification to small_deposit_verification.deposit_addressApproves once Paxos detects the correct amount from the address
For SIGNATURE and SMALL_DEPOSIT, you must complete the verification before expires_at or the verification will expire.

​
APPROVED

Address control has been verified. The address is linked to your Paxos profile and can be used for reward claim eligibility and compliance workflows. Once set, APPROVED does not change.

​
EXPIRED

The verification window elapsed before the verification was completed. EXPIRED is the only terminal failure state.
MethodWindow
SIGNATURE48 hours from creation
SMALL_DEPOSIT48 hours from creation
Create a new verification via Create Address Verification and start again. Expired verification IDs cannot be reused. MANUAL review is handled off-platform and does not expire through the public API.
