# Balance Guard policy
The Balance Guard Policy on the Ironblocks platform allows developers to define and set thresholds for acceptable balance changes within your ecosystem. It offers the flexibility to specify maximum balance change limits for individual assets, enhancing protection against unexpected asset fluctuations and potential security threats.
Deploy Balance Guard policy:
Go to “Firewall” in the side Menu on the left to access the Firewall page.
Policies library
Click “Add Policy” on the “My Policies” page or from the 'Policies Library" page.
Balance Guard Policy configuration empty
Set Policy Configuration: Select the Balance Guard policy, the network, and the contracts you want to protect.
Set the Policy Parameters: Select a token address and the amount threshold.
balance guard amount+token address filled in
Confirm the signature, and wait for the confirmation that the policy has been activated:
balance guard deploy => balance guard signature
Once activated, you will see the Balance Guard Policy active in the “My Policies” tab:
My policies tab with active Balance Guard
Expand the policy to see the policy on-chain address, the networks, and the assets it's protecting. You can also remove the policy or edit it if needed. Use the toggle to deactivate or activate the policy.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.ironblocks.com/platform/firewall/balance-guard-policy.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
