Introduction
Smart Bulk Payments typically completes payout batches within 3 to 20 minutes.
Execution time is a normal operating range and is not a guaranteed service level. The actual execution time depends on blockchain network conditions, batch size, compliance reviews, and the successful validation of the submitted batch.
This information is current as of August 2026.
Typical Execution Time
| Batch Status | Typical Time |
| Batch received | Immediate |
| Validation | Seconds |
| Compliance review | Seconds to a few minutes |
| Blockchain broadcast | Immediate after approval |
| Typical completion | 3–20 minutes |
What affects execution time?
Execution time depends on several operational factors.
- Batch size
Large batches require additional processing and validation.
Smart Bulk Payments currently supports batches of up to 10,000 recipients. - Blockchain conditions
Execution depends on the current congestion and confirmation times of the selected blockchain network.
Periods of high blockchain activity may increase confirmation times. - Compliance controls
Every payout batch is subject to automated compliance checks before execution.
Additional review may increase total processing time. - Validation errors
If the uploaded batch contains validation errors, processing stops until the errors are corrected and the batch is resubmitted.
