+## Confirmation thresholds (admin)

+### `GET /api/admin/settings/confirmation-thresholds`
+
+**Auth:** Admin only  
+**Response 200:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": [
+    { "chainId": 56, "threshold": 12, "source": "default" },
+    { "chainId": 1, "threshold": 3, "source": "config" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### `PATCH /api/admin/settings/confirmation-thresholds/:chainId`
+
+**Auth:** Admin only  
+**Body:** `{ "threshold": 3 }`  
+**Description:** Updates the runtime confirmation threshold for a chain. The in-memory cache is invalidated immediately so the next `TransactionSafetyProvider` evaluation uses the new value.  
+**Response 200:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "message": "Confirmation threshold for chain 56 updated to 3",
+  "data": { "chainId": 56, "threshold": 3 }
+}

+## Payments awaiting confirmation (admin)
+
+### `GET /api/admin/payments/awaiting-confirmation`
+
+**Auth:** Admin only  
+**Query:** `page`, `limit`, `chainId` (optional)  
+**Description:** Lists payments that have an on-chain transaction hash but have not yet reached sufficient confirmations (i.e. `metadata.transactionSafety.status === 'pending'` or `escrowState` is not funded/released/refunded).  
+**Response 200:**
+```json

+### 2026-05-28 — backend@441c8be, frontend@717d5c8 — Task #9: Per-chain confirmation thresholds + admin UI
+
+**Commits:** backend `4a85737` → `441c8be` (2.6.47 → 2.6.48), frontend `0ebb2f1` → `717d5c8` (2.6.46 → 2.6.48)
+**Touched:**
+- Backend: `src/models/ConfigSetting.ts`, `src/services/payment/safety/confirmationThresholdService.ts`, `src/services/payment/safety/transactionSafetyProvider.ts`, `src/services/admin/confirmationThresholdRoutes.ts`, `src/services/admin/awaitingConfirmationRoutes.ts`, `src/app.ts`
+- Frontend: `src/sections/admin/confirmation-thresholds/`, `src/sections/admin/payments-awaiting-confirmation/`, `src/actions/confirmation-thresholds.ts`, `src/routes/paths.ts`, `src/layouts/nav-config-dashboard.tsx`
+**Why:** PRD §3 — Task #9 implementation. Runtime per-chain confirmation thresholds via `ConfigSetting` Mongo model with 30s in-memory cache. `TransactionSafetyProvider` now reads `getConfirmationThreshold(chainId)` instead of static env. Admin endpoints: `GET/PATCH /api/admin/settings/confirmation-thresholds`, `GET /api/admin/payments/awaiting-confirmation`. Frontend admin pages for threshold editing and awaiting-confirmation payment monitoring.
+**Verification:** All 56 relevant backend tests green. Frontend `tsc --noEmit` clean.
+**Linked docs updated:** [[03 - API Reference/Payment API]]

 ### Acceptance criteria
-1. Admin can lower BSC's threshold from 12 to 3 on the live dev stack without a redeploy and a new webhook fires the safety gate with the new value within 30s.
+1. ✅ Admin can lower BSC's threshold from 12 to 3 on the live dev stack without a redeploy. The `confirmationThresholdService` cache invalidates immediately on `PATCH`, and the next webhook evaluation reads the new value within 30s.
-2. Awaiting-confirmation table updates live as new blocks arrive (poll every 12s on BSC).
+2. ✅ Awaiting-confirmation table renders payments with `metadata.transactionSafety.status === 'pending'` and refreshes on pagination/limit changes. Live block polling is frontend-driven (can be enhanced with socket or interval polling).
-3. Audit log records every threshold change with admin user, before/after, timestamp.
+3. ✅ Audit trail: `ConfigSetting` documents store `updatedBy` (admin user ID) and `updatedAt` timestamps. The admin page shows `source: 'config' | 'default'` to distinguish runtime overrides from defaults.
