Within this framework, each of the wallets can be used for something different. 1) Hot wallet(s) - Used to connect to new apps, mint NFTs or interact with anything “degen”. 2) Multi-sig vault - Used to securely store assets and only interact with trusted services.

When interacting with third-party services or new apps, you can transfer assets to a hot wallet. Where available, you can also delegate access to a hot wallet with

You should only use your multi-sig for day-to-day transactions with trusted services. To be extra cautious, you can also set up an archival multi-sig which is only used for storage & transferring assets in/out.

We recommend a 2/3 multi-sig as a base setup. The 3 signers can be: 1) Primary hot wallet (e.g.

@MetaMask

) 2) Mobile wallet (e.g.

@rainbowdotme

@CoinbaseWallet

) 3) Cold wallet (e.g.

@Ledger

) Each of the signing wallets should have a different seed phrase.

The main benefit of multi-sigs is that there isn’t a single point of failure - this acts as a multi-factor vault. If you set up the signing keys on multiple devices, it’s very difficult for a hacker to compromise your multi-sig. If a key is compromised, you can easily swap it.

Generally speaking, everyone should: 1) Set up a multi-sig vault & secure it with multiple keys 2) Only use your multi-sig with trusted services 3) Delegate to your hot wallet(s) when using new services

We’re very sad to hear that

Heads up, Apes: you'll be able to use a warm wallet through warm.xyz or delegate.cash for next week's mint. We recommend setting up the wallet ahead of time.

A multi-sig with a multiple types of signers (mix of hot and cold wallets) will probably get you a pretty decent grade of security.

is very good app layer for deploying a multi-sig in a friendly way.

I used Castle the next day to create a multisig, was stupid easy.

Replying to @punk9059 and @RayAlva_ARK

oof, sorry to hear. honestly I'd recommend that anyone who buys an asset for over $1000 put it in a multisig. which is another learning hurdle in itself.

At its core, crypto is about creating an open and permissionless system where you don’t need to trust centralized entities. The choice to self-custody shouldn’t come at the expense of security & ease-of-use. The good news is that the solutions are here and will only get better.
