How does the Acronym Vault work?

Acronym Vault goes beyond ordinary wallets. It offers non-custodial, segregated sub-wallets for digital assets that only you can access. Acronym utilizes a sophisticated cold storage system to keep your crypto safe. Imagine a high-security vault for your digital assets. That's the core principle behind Acronym Vaults. When you create a Vault, your private key—the key to your crypto—never touches the internet. Instead, it's stored securely in Acronym's geographically distributed, offline Cold Storage facilities. An extra layer of security comes with your master password. This password acts as a gatekeeper, decrypting a portion of your private key stored in Cold Storage when you need to access your Vault. Even when you make a transaction, your private key remains safely locked in Cold Storage. A secure digital signature, authorized by your master password, verifies the transaction without revealing your private key. Acronym Vault combines advanced cold storage with multi-layered access controls for unparalleled security.
