INSIGHT

Practical Vaults Without Covenants

  • Revault implements a practical vault architecture that works on Bitcoin today without waiting for covenants.
  • It avoids pre-computing exact amounts and lets users send arbitrary amounts while enforcing on-chain policies.
INSIGHT

No Precomputed Amounts Needed

  • Revault differs from prior vault designs by avoiding pre-computation of transaction amounts.
  • That makes it practical because users can send arbitrary amounts while still being protected by the design.
ADVICE

Pick Vault Or Recovery Based On Risk

  • Use ReVault for theft deterrence and Liana for recovery redundancy depending on your priority.
  • Choose ReVault when you need on-chain policy enforcement and Liana when you prioritise loss protection and backups.
