Getting Started with Trustodian
Trustodian is a multi-chain cryptocurrency custody platform that puts security first. With our multisig vault management, you maintain full control of your digital assets across multiple blockchains.
Why Multisig?
Traditional single-key wallets present a single point of failure. If your private key is compromised, all your funds are at risk. Multisig (multi-signature) wallets solve this by requiring multiple approvals before any transaction can be executed.
Trustodian uses a 2-of-3 threshold approach powered by Shamir Secret Sharing:
- Device share — stored securely on your device
- Server share — held by Trustodian's encrypted infrastructure
- Recovery share — your backup, encrypted with RSA
Any two of these three shares can reconstruct your signing key, meaning you're protected even if one share is lost.
Supported Blockchains
Trustodian supports a wide range of networks:
- EVM chains — Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche
- Solana — fast, low-cost transactions
- Tron — widely used for USDT transfers
- Bitcoin — the original cryptocurrency
