Set basic approvals

To enable organizations to start working quickly, Fordefi's factory policy settings require no approvals at all. As early as possible, you should change this default setting -- at the very least, by requiring that every transaction be approved by two approvers.

Settings for the default policy are as shown:

  • User: Any
  • Origin: Any
  • Transaction type: Any
  • Recipient: Any
  • Asset: Any
  • Max amount: Unspecified

At minimum, select the following:

  • Require approval
  • Number of approvers: 2
  • Approvers: Any

Approvals for transaction amount tiers

Suppose you want Fordefi to:

  1. Allow any transaction up to $100 without approval.
  2. Require approval by two approvers for any transaction up to $1000.
  3. Require approval by a specific person for any transaction up to $1 million.

To do this, define three different policy rules, in the following order:

Rule 1

Set values for these fields:

  • Rule name: Tier 1 rule
  • Max amount: $100
  • Allow

Rule 2

Set values for these fields:

  • Rule name: Tier 2 rule
  • Max amount: $1000
  • Require approval
  • No of approvers: 2
  • Two approver names

Rule 3

Set values for these fields:

  • Rule name: Tier 3 rule
  • Max amount: $100000
  • Require approval
  • One approver name

The three rules would appear so in the Transaction Policy screen:

Automatic approval for transactions with a specific DApp and token

Set a rule that will allow trades involving USDC on Uniswap (Ethereum) to proceed without approval. Set values for these fields:

  • Rule name: Smart Contracts USDC on Uniswap V3 Eth
  • Transaction type: Contract call
  • Recipient: Uniswap V3 Ethereum
  • Asset: USDC Ethereum
  • Allow

Automatic approval for message signature

Set a rule that will allow signing message signatures. Note that the Recipient field is matched against the verifyingContract field in typed messages.

Set values for these fields:

  • Rule name: Message Signature Hyperliquid
  • Transaction type: Message Signature
  • Recipient: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  • Asset: Any
  • Action: Allow

This will result in the rule being applied upon connection to the Hyperliquid DEX.
