Permissioned chains

Some chains supported by the Value Transfer API enforce permissioned access. Transactions sent to these chains through public RPC endpoints will be rejected unless your wallet has been approved. Check the table below before integrating with these chains.

Chain	Access model	Public RPC restriction	How to get access
Redbelly	Protocol-level KYC via verifiable credentials	`governors.mainnet.redbelly.network` is read-only; write operations (e.g., sending transactions) are blocked	Apply for whitelisting

Tokens — Discover transferrable tokens for specific chains
Quotes — Request transfer quotes between chains
