Secure

What is a Multi-Key wallet?

A multi-key crypto wallet, also known as a multi-sig or multi-signature wallet, is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that requires multiple keys or signatures in order to access the funds stored within it. Unlike traditional crypto wallets, where a single private key is used to access the funds, a multi-key wallet is programmed to require signatures from multiple private keys before the funds can be transferred or spent. This added security feature provides an extra layer of protection against theft or hacking, as an attacker would need to compromise multiple keys in order to access the funds.

Is Everlasting's Multi-Key Wallet Custodial or Non-Custodial?

Everlasting’s multi-key wallet is non-custodial, meaning you retain full control and ownership of your funds. You are in charge of your own private keys, providing greater security and privacy.

Does Everlasting Have Access to My Funds?

No, think of Everlasting as an additional approval system for your account. We provide added security without having access to your funds.

Can I Add Funds to My Multi-Key Wallet?

Estate

What is Crypto Estate Planning?

Crypto Estate Planning is the process of organizing and securing digital assets for the future. The goal is to ensure that these assets are properly managed and distributed to the intended beneficiaries in the event of death or incapacitation. The key benefit is that you are establishing a legal structure to ensure that professionals can work with your executor to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Everlasting NZ Icon

Why is Crypto Estate Planning Important?

Cryptocurrencies are relatively new and rapidly evolving assets, and there is no established system for transferring ownership in the event of death or incapacity. It is important to have a plan in place to secure and distribute these assets, so they do not become lost or unclaimed. Leaving a copy of your seed phrase is not a complete solution and puts your assets at risk of loss or disputes.

Everlasting NZ Icon

What Happens to Cryptocurrency in the Event of Death or Incapacity?

In the absence of proper estate planning, digital assets such as cryptocurrency can become inaccessible. This can result in significant financial losses and cause added stress for family members and loved ones if wealth they believed was there is inaccessible.

Everlasting NZ Icon

How many people can I nominate in my Everlasting estate management policy in the event of my death?

Like a normal estate, having more people nominated creates additional complexities. The Everlasting team is happy to work with you to ensure everyone is included.

Everlasting NZ Icon

What is the best legal structure for my Everlasting Estate Plan?

At Everlasting, we believe it is important to seek independent legal advice when determining the best legal structure for your Everlasting Estate Plan. Our clients typically choose one of three options: in the name of the individual, a joint plan with a partner, or in a trust. Regardless of your choice, our team is here to provide you with additional information and support. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for more information to inform the discussion with your lawyer.
