...
A co-signer is an additional "approver" or signature. It is totally separate from all of your other keys. We operate a co-signer and we do not touch any of your keys.
The co-signer has the power to reject certain transactions. It does not have the power to"originate" transactions, meaning it cannot send a transaction to your custodian for approval. And it does not have the power to sign transactions on your behalf, that's what your custodian does.
Trading keys are used to perform transactions. They're what you use to sign every day things. People often associate this function with "hot wallets." In our system, instead of separating assets into "hot and cold wallets," you can think of it as 1 wallet with "hot and cold keys."
Operation keys are used to withdraw the assets and update the policies. You use these only periodically or in case of an emergency as these keys have full, unrestricted access given a multi-signature approval.
Most importantly, the operation keys are entirely disconnected from the co-signer. Transactions proposed by operation keys cannot be rejected by our system, which means you retain full custody of the assets. Often, clients keep those keys in one or several of their custodians.
The worst thing a hacker could do is perpetually reject all of your transactions. In this scenario, you would simply withdraw your assets from your DeFi Armor wallet using your operation keys into some other wallet you own.
You call us. Every client speaks to at least 1 founder. Once we know who you are, the sign-up and on-boarding is streamlined.
In almost all cases, we host the co-signer, which means as a firm we have technical access to that database. In select cases, our clients can host it entirely themselves, such that we don't have any access; this requires preparation.
In all cases, our Terms of Service state we cannot use or disclose any client specific information, which is the same guarantee given by almost all comparable service providers.
We can add any EVM network with a 12 hour turn around. DeFi Armor is protocol agnostic, so you can already use it with almost any protocol. For the edge cases where it doesn't work out of the box, our turn around time is typically ~24 hours.
