Customizing Your Casa Business 3-Key Vault for Your Organization’s Needs

This article explores some of the ways a business can customize their vault based on operational needs.

Casa Business is designed to provide flexibility and security for businesses managing their digital assets. By utilizing a 3-key BTC vault, clients can customize their setups to align with their operational needs, team structures, and risk tolerance. Let’s explore some of the ways you can tailor your 3-key vault to suit your business.

Convenience Setup: Mobile Key and Hardware Wallet

If ease of use is a top priority, combining a mobile key with a hardware wallet may be the right fit. This approach minimizes friction while still offering robust security.

• Key 1 (Mobile Key): Stored on a mobile device by the principal for quick access to the vault. Ideal for day-to-day transactions.
• Key 2 (Hardware Wallet): Kept in a secure location by your designated key manager geographically separated from the Principal Key manager.
• Key 3 (Casa Recovery Key): Provides peace of mind with Casa’s recovery services.

Businesses adopting this setup often prioritize mobility and simplicity, particularly when frequent access to funds is required for operational purposes.

Advanced Setup: 2 Hardware Wallets and Team Signing

For businesses seeking a balance between security and accessibility, using two hardware wallets with team signing is a popular choice. Here’s an example configuration:

• Key 1 (Principal): A hardware wallet stored securely in a safety deposit box.
• Key 2 (Team Member): A second hardware wallet kept by your designated key manager in a secure location which is geographically separated from the Principal Key manager.
• Key 3 (Casa Recovery Key): Held by Casa for emergency recovery, accessible via a secure verification process.

This setup ensures that no single individual has complete control over the treasury, mitigating the risk of internal errors or bad actors. Team signing also provides transparency and accountability.

Accountant Access: Combining Vault Security with Dashboard Transparency

For businesses that need to involve external accountants or financial advisors, Casa Business offers the ability to grant dashboard access without compromising vault security.

• View-Only Dashboard: Invite an accountant or external counsel to view transactions and reconcile balances in real time.
• Subaccount/Digital asset reporting: Provides real-time visibility and transparency into the status of your different assets without allowing direct access or control. This dashboard enables stakeholders, such as accountants or advisors, to monitor balances, track transactions, and oversee portfolio performance across various digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, while ensuring security by restricting any modifications or actions.

Specialized Configurations for Unique Needs

Every business has its own strategy for treasury management. Casa Business allows you to think creatively about your vault setup:

• Backup Redundancy: Use two hardware wallets stored in different locations, such as an office and an Key Manager’s home, to ensure geographic diversification.
• Team Distribution: Involve multiple colleagues in the key management process for decentralized decision-making. For example:
  • Key 1: Held by the founder. Can only sign transactions
  • Key 2: Held by the CFO. Can initiate and sign transactions
  • Key 3 (Casa Recovery Key): Held by Casa as a safeguard.
  • Hybrid Approach: Mix a mobile key for frequent transactions with a hardware wallet for secure access.

It is highly recommended that each Key manager securely saves and stores their hardware device seedphrase. See this article for best practices. 💡
