Our solutions
We have developed a set of procedures, backed by our years of expertise in Bitcoin and finance, to help you manage your funds securely and easily. We offer multisignature wallet services, cryptocurrency concierge services as well as workshops on Bitcoin fundamentals.
Why a multisignature wallet?
Setting up a multisignature wallet is a time-tested and reliable way to mitigate the risks of key loss as well as certain security concerns, such as malicious actors gaining unauthorised access to your keys. Such a wallet requires more than one key to access funds, typically two out of a total of three or three out of five, thus reducing single points of failure. Keys may be kept in multiple locations, even in different countries, or given to trusted persons for safekeeping, such as family members or legal representatives.
Including
M-out-of-N quorum
A number of M keys out of N in total is required to access the funds in the wallet. We offer advice on the quorum that best fits your needs, key security, storage of your backup keys and training to the cosigners of your choice.
Non-custodial
We will never have access to your funds or the ability to stop you from accessing them, since we would be holding at most one of the keys required for access.
Libre & open source
All our software is open source. This guarantees full transparency and state-of-the-art security, as it is audited by the Bitcoin community as well as cryptography professionals.
No vendor lock-in
Hardware wallets can be swapped for another one supporting the relevant standards: mnemonic passphrase (BIP39) and partially signed transactions (BIP174).
Hardware based
We support multiple hardware wallets: Specter DIY, Coldcard, BitBox02 and Cobo Vault, to name a few.
Hosted in Switzerland
Our infrastructure runs in secure data centres in Switzerland, benefiting from strict Swiss privacy laws and competent, bitcoin-friendly local authorities.
Tailored to your needs
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all products, we adapt our services to your requirements and create an optimal solution for your needs.
Complementary services
Users of our multisignature wallet package can benefit from our Bitcoin concierge services and workshops. We believe in empowering our users to make informed choices about their cryptocurrency assets.
Bitcoin concierge services
We provide fast access to major Swiss exchanges, over-the-counter trading assistance, and our network of cryptocurrency experts. We also advise on inheritance planning so your assets pass securely to your heirs.
Workshops
We provide continuous education on Bitcoin fundamentals, privacy and cryptography, and organise workshops on setting up and securely managing a multisignature wallet.
Bitcoin recovery
Have you lost access to your bitcoin wallet? Forgot your password? Damaged your seed backup? There is hope.
