Deep dives
Understanding Multi-Signature Custody
Multi-signature (multi-sig) custody enhances Bitcoin security by requiring multiple keys to access funds rather than relying on a single private key, which can lead to total loss if compromised. In a typical multi-sig setup, you might need two out of three keys to approve transactions, which can consist of a mobile key, a hardware wallet key, and a key held by the service provider, like Casa. This model allows users to mitigate the risk of losing funds since they can recover access using remaining keys if one is lost. This method reduces single points of failure, providing peace of mind for Bitcoin owners worried about theft or loss.
