Vault Setup Guide

The Bold Vault lets you reduce the risk of loss or theft with its multisig 2-of-3 collaborative custody set-up. You hold two keys and Bold holds one as a backup. If you lose one key, Bold can help you recover your bitcoin. This also means that Bold cannot access your bitcoin without you.
