Chain Code Delegation: Improving privacy in collaborative multisig

The true test of self-custody isn’t just whether or not you hold your own keys. It’s whether or not you can protect them from loss, theft, coercion, seizure, and death, and still be able to make transactions when you need to, without a third party intermediary.

Hardware wallets are not enough

Passing on your bitcoin shouldn’t be a puzzle. Our inheritance feature is built to make it straightforward and secure. Set it up once. Protect it for a lifetime. Dive into how it works: https://bitkey.world/learning-hub/bitkey-basics/general/how-it-works#inheritance

What happens if you lose your phone? Your Bitkey still works. What if you lose your hardware? Still recoverable. What if you lose both? There’s still a path forward. Bitkey’s 2-of-3 security model ensures that even in less than ideal scenarios, your bitcoin is accessible. Learn how recovery works — in every scenario: https://bitkey.world/learning-hub/bitkey-basics/general/how-it-works#bitkey-recovery-if-you-lose-your-phone

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold, it’s a test of trust. Every time you choose self-custody, you’re proving you understand what bitcoin really stands for: ownership, responsibility, and freedom.

“Creating a system that keeps your seed phrases secure and is resistant to all of these threats is a tall task to ask users.” – Jonathan Pollack, Bitkey Product Lead That’s why Bitkey is designed with a seedless recovery system. Our 2-of-3 key setup lets you recover your wallet even if you lose one of your signing devices — without the burden of seed phrase management. #LoseYourSeedPhrase Product Lead, Jonathan broke it down 👇

Portland showed up 🙌 At the Bitcoin is for Everyone conference, we had powerful conversations about self-custody, recovery, inheritance, and how to onboard your friends and family — safely. We met new customers, reconnected with OG supporters, and shared our vision for a more accessible, safer path to holding your own keys. Even more encouraging? So many attendees already owned Bitkey or had heard of us. Bitcoin self-custody is growing — and Bitkey is growing with it. https://nostr.com/nprofile1qqs0eg8q96p36tskcuunaf6sqj7xqw5m9gch0cxfknw0gryrsrnj5ngkcx7fg

Bitkey is built with bitcoin’s future in mind — long-term, unstoppable, and evolving. Self-custody isn’t going away. Neither are we.

Not every bitcoin holder wants to memorize 24 words. We built Bitkey for the rest of us.
