How to build a transaction
Begin building a transaction by visiting the Asset Transfer section from the left sidebar, or click on Transact from within an Account page.
Confirm the Account and the Network that you want to transact with before moving forward.
What is the transaction flow?
Building a transaction
- A signer in the Organisation proposes a transaction draft and submits it for review.
- Salt does the first check to confirm if the transaction passes all policy checks and shows the results to the signer. This will highlight if any policies would likely fail should the signer proceed.
- There are some instances in which the first policy check fails, but the transaction can be sent - such as if the policies change in such a way that the transaction draft is no longer in breach.
- Regardless of the result, the signer can decide to proceed or not.
- If yes; Salt will do a second policy review. If this passes, the Robo Guardians will be instructed to sign their share of the transaction. This now forms the complete signed transaction using a human and the Robo Guardian's share of key material.
- If no; Salt passes a message back to the user and stops the transaction from being sent. This means the transaction is now vetoed because it would violate a policy and the transaction cycle ends. Learn more below about transaction vetoes below.
Broadcasting a transaction
Once a transaction has been successfully built and a threshold signature has been created, the following occurs:
- The transaction is broadcast by the Robo Guardians to the transaction’s destination blockchain.
- The transaction is processed by the blockchain, and funds move out of the Salt Account.

What asset is gas paid in?
Gas within Salt is paid in the network’s native asset. For example, when sending LINK, you’ll need Ethereum to pay gas.
Gas paid by the connected browser wallet is paid in Arbitrum Ethereum.
