sequenceId string
A 'sequenceId' is a unique and arbitrary wallet identifier applied to transfers and transactions at creation. It is optional but highly recommended. With a 'sequenceId' you can easily reference transfers and transactions&mdash;for example, to safely retry sending. Because the system only confirms one send request per 'sequenceId' (and fails all subsequent attempts), you can retry sending without the risk of double spending. The 'sequenceId' is only visible to users on the wallet and is not shared publicly.

An array of objects describing the change in address balances made as a result of this Transfer
usersNotified boolean
Whether BitGo already sent notifications to the users of the transfer wallet

Address labels (if any) from entries concatenated.
