Bitaroo Vault is a verifiable offline custodial cold storage fortress. This means that, among other advantages listed below, your bitcoin stack with us will be better protected from various types of threats.
Benefits of the Bitaroo Vault include:
1. Verify Online: Easily view your bitcoin holdings with us using any Bitcoin blockchain explorer to ensure their authenticity and integrity, eliminating the possibility of 'paper bitcoin'.
2. Enhanced Security: Your BTC is meticulously safeguarded within a dedicated cold wallet, guaranteeing it remains offline and impervious to online access, thereby fortifying its security. In addition, our system incorporates an advanced 3 out of 5 multi-signature structure, surpassing the industry standard of 2 out of 3. This is further bolstered by an array of additional security measures, ensuring that your assets benefit from an unparalleled level of protection. These additional security measures are in place to create an ironclad vault around your assets, ensuring their utmost protection.
3. Protection from Compromises: In an event of any security breaches on your end, such as your email being hacked, your BTC in the Vault remains safeguarded by your 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) and the Vault itself is also time-locked. Vault Unlocks involve a 48-hour waiting period before you receive an email confirmation code, followed by up to 2 business days for our team to process the request. This delay is intentional - it gives you time to respond and secure your assets if the unlock was not initiated by you.
