Vaults

Self-custody doesn’t have to mean you’re on your own

The same security principles used by major custodians and institutions, but designed for real life.

1 in 200 bitcoin that will ever exist is secured in an Unchained vault

Welcome to collaborative custody

Freedom is powerful, but it also means the stakes are higher. With bitcoin, there is no password reset.

Unchained vaults make institutional-grade custody accessible to everyone, preserving full sovereignty with the backup of our enterprise key and expert team.

Eliminate single points of failure

Offset the risk of losing a key, damaging a device, forgetting a backup, or making a simple mistake that can permanently lock you out of your bitcoin.

Mitigate external threats

Limit the dangers of hackers, malware, phishing, SIM swaps, and exchange failures.

Designed for real life

Emergencies, accidents, and inheritance are not edge cases, so choose custody that is purpose-built to secure your bitcoin through all of it.

Direct ownership and shared responsibility

You do not have to choose between trusting an exchange and carrying the full burden alone. Collaborative custody gives you direct ownership of your bitcoin while removing single points of failure. Control stays with you, but responsibility is shared by design.

How collaborative custody works

Unchained vaults use the same underlying principles as large institutions. Every vault is secured by three keys. Two of three are required to move your bitcoin.

1

KEYS IN A MULTISIG VAULT

A total of three keys control your vault, with two of those required to approve any spend.
2

KEYS BELONG TO YOU

With two keys, you’re always in total control. Keep each key in a separate location.
3

secure backup key

Unchained holds only one key, so we can never move your bitcoin, but we can be your safety net if you lose a key.
