Custody Starter Architecture

The Developer Portal now includes a use-case guide called Custody Starter Architecture that walks you through the most common custody integration, designed for clients operating within a single enterprise. This new section is a complete end-to-end guide that you can use to set up the most popular custody configuration.

How It Works

Custody starter architecture utilizes three wallets for each coin, each with varying degrees of security and balance sizes. This pattern helps your enterprise maximize security while maintaining operational flexibility.

The new guide walks you through creating these three wallets with distinct roles:

A custody wallet that provides cold storage for the majority of your assets, guarded by strict policies.
A self-custody hot wallet that serves as a standby wallet, with moderate policies.
Another self-custody hot wallet with the lowest balance. This wallet handles all deposits and withdrawals for day-to-day transactions, with minimal policy restrictions.
