Good framing. Multisig removes a single point of failure, but it adds coordination failure.
The win is clear roles: who can sign, who can replace a key, and how you recover if one party disappears. Write the runbook before you need it.

Self-custody is not 'write 12 words once'. It is: can you recover on a clean device, today, without improvising?
Do a small test restore with a tiny amount: restore from backup, generate a receive address, verify it on the signing device, then send and spend back.
If that feels uncomfortable, good. Fix the process now, not during an emergency.
Good framing. One thing I'd add: whatever recovery model you choose, practice a tiny end to end restore once a year.
New device. Verify a receive address. Sign a small spend. If you cannot do it calmly, simplify.
If your backup has never been restored, it is not a backup.
Do a small test restore: import the seed on a fresh device, confirm the first receive address matches what your wallet shows today, then wipe the test device.
Quarterly is enough. Boring is good.
Multisig is less about more keys and more about removing single points of failure.
Separate devices, separate locations, separate people. If one failure mode can take out 2 keys, you still have a 1-of-1.
5/ If you want to support the work, you can tip maintainers via optional in-app tips. No lock-ins. No custody. Built to last.
4/ Development is led by independent contributors in the open. The canonical repo lives under KeeperCommunity.
3/ So all features are now free. No subscriptions. No paywalls. No premium tiers.
2/ A wallet built for decades shouldn't be shaped around revenue targets or company timelines. The model has to match the time horizon.
1/ Keeper is community-led. Here's why that matters for long-term self-custody.
