When the destination is an active Bitnob-issued deposit address, on your account or another Bitnob account, the value moves on the internal ledger instead of the blockchain: no gas, no confirmation wait, instant settlement. The request and webhook shapes are identical to external sends, except that hash starts with oc_ and has no on-chain record.

​
How routing works

You submit the transfer exactly like an external send, with the destination set to a Bitnob-issued deposit address. Bitnob detects that the destination is internal and nets the transfer on the ledger; anything else routes to the chain. To route deliberately, keep a registry of your own issued addresses, retrievable with List addresses, and check destinations against it before choosing what to promise the user about speed and fees.

​
Where it pays off

  • Sub-account and business-unit moves: treasury shuffles that would otherwise pay gas for no reason.
  • Instant customer credits: users with Bitnob-linked wallets receive value with zero latency.
  • Aggregation before settlement: sweep user funds internally, then settle outward in one batched on-chain send instead of many.
