Users currently using the Custodial Wallet Feature in their application can choose one of the options below and follow the steps to ensure a smooth migration.

Migration Options

  1. Continuing to use a custodian :
    If you wish to continue using a custodian for your application, follow these steps:
    1. Obtaining Your Custody Secrets : Contact our support team at [email protected] to receive your custodian credentials with an encrypted password, which will be your API key or a custom pass if requested.
    2. Migrating to Another Custodian Provider : Once you have your Custody Secrets, you can migrate them to any other custodian provider by sharing a request for same to the new vendor.
    3. Transferring All Assets to New Custody : • If migrating secrets is not feasible, you can transfer assets to the new custody wallet.
    4. Support Call : If any of the steps above become a challange for you then please write to us at [email protected], and we will be happy to schedule a call to ensure a smooth migration for you.
  2. Migrating to a Self-Custody Setup (Recommended) :
    If you are open to migrating to a self-custody setup, we can assist you in setting up your local KMS. This migration step helps reduce custody risk with minimal effort. Contact us to schedule a call for support or Get Start with our KMS Guides here.
  3. Migrating to a Non Custodian Setup - Highly Recommended :
    For enhanced security, we recommend moving to a non-custodial setup. While this might not be the best fit for every application, the “Not your keys, not your crypto” ideology supports this transition. In a non-custodial setup, you can generate secrets for your customers and either expose them or use passkeys for a keyless experience. You can achieve wallet generation functionality with our Wallet Operations product. Learn more here.
