Walley offers two automation settings that reduce how often you have to approve routine on-ledger actions. Both live in Settings, both are opt-in, and enabling either one is itself an on-ledger action you review and sign — nothing is enabled by default.
Enabling automation means certain future actions complete without a per-action confirmation from you. Understand what each setting does before enabling it, and review your activity regularly. Completed on-ledger transactions are irreversible.

Transfer Pre-Approval

By default, every incoming transfer arrives as a pending offer that you must manually accept or reject. Transfer pre-approval removes that step: with it enabled, incoming transfers complete automatically without your explicit acceptance each time. This is useful when you receive frequent transfers — for example from an app you trade on — and accepting each one individually is impractical.

Enabling it

1

Open Settings

Navigate to Settings in the Walley interface and find the Transfer Preapproval card.
2

Enable and sign

Select Enable Transfer Preapproval and sign the resulting transaction. The pre-approval is recorded on-ledger; its status shows Pending Approval until it becomes active, then Enabled.

Expiry and renewal

A transfer pre-approval is valid for a limited period. When it expires, incoming transfers go back to requiring manual acceptance, and the Settings card offers Renew Transfer Preapproval — select it and sign to keep receiving transfers automatically.
Pre-approval applies to incoming transfers only. Outgoing transfers always require your review and signature, with or without pre-approval.

Merge Delegation

On Canton, your balance in an asset can be spread across many separate holding contracts — each incoming transfer typically creates a new one. Fragmented holdings make transfers less efficient. Merge delegation allows the network to merge your holdings into fewer contracts on your behalf.

Enabling it

1

Open Settings

Navigate to Settings and find the Merge Delegation card.
2

Enable and sign

Select Enable Merge Delegation and sign the resulting transaction. The status shows Pending Approval until active, then Enabled.
Merge delegation only authorizes consolidating your existing holdings — combining several holding contracts of the same asset into one. It does not authorize transfers to anyone else, and your total balance is unchanged by a merge.

Your Responsibilities When Using Automation

  • Understand what you’ve enabled. Pre-approval auto-completes incoming transfers; merge delegation auto-consolidates your holdings. Neither lets anyone else spend your funds.
  • Review your activity. Check your dashboard’s transaction history periodically to verify automated activity matches your expectations.
  • Let pre-approval lapse if you no longer want it. Pre-approvals expire on their own; simply don’t renew if you’d rather accept transfers manually again.
