Custody & Security Advisory
Digital asset custody solutions.
How to keep digital assets safe at an institutional standard: the frameworks, wallet structures and policies I design with clients and their custody partners.
Why custody comes first
In digital assets, whoever controls the private keys controls the assets. There is no bank to reverse a mistaken transfer and no helpdesk to restore a lost key. A strong allocation built on weak custody is still a weak allocation, so I treat custody as the foundation of every engagement, not an afterthought.
Institutional custody frameworks
An institutional framework sets out who may move assets, under what approvals, and with which regulated partners. It covers qualified custodians, segregation of client assets, insurance coverage, audit trails and clear procedures for onboarding, withdrawals and emergencies.
Multi-sig architectures
Multi-signature wallets require several independent keys to approve a transaction, for example two of three or three of five. Spreading keys across people, devices and locations removes single points of failure and protects against both theft and internal error.
Cold-storage policies
Most long-term holdings belong offline. A written cold-storage policy defines how much sits in cold versus hot wallets, how keys are generated and backed up, how often recovery is tested, and who is accountable at each step.
Choosing and vetting partners
Custody is rarely a single provider. I help clients assess custodians on regulation, jurisdiction, proof of reserves, insurance, operational track record and exit options, and often combine several partners to avoid concentration risk.
