Swan Vault — Safe and Sound Self-Custody
In this article
Swan Vault is a Bitcoin storage solution engineered to provide advanced self-custody, enabling everyone to secure their Bitcoin confidently. We’re excited to announce that Swan Vault is now available to all current and future Swan Bitcoin clients in the United States (we will enable access for International and New York clients as soon as possible).
Total Control with Peace of Mind
Swan Vault empowers you with complete control over your Bitcoin. This autonomy is fundamental to Bitcoin’s promise—ensuring that your funds remain yours without restrictions or oversight. You can enjoy the independence of controlling your own Bitcoin without relying on banks or other institutions.
If you lose a key, you can recover your funds. All Swan Vaults can be recovered using widely available open-source Bitcoin wallet software, such as Specter Desktop or Bitcoin Core. When you set up your Vault, you’ll download an easy-to-follow recovery kit with clear instructions. We adopted industry standards to maximize the portability and recoverability of your Vault.
Designed for everyone: Ease of Use Meets Advanced Security
We carefully designed Swan Vault to remove the technical barriers and complexity that often deter people from embracing self-custody. Swan Vault empowers anyone to confidently take custody of their Bitcoin with guided on-screen setup to streamlined deposits and withdrawals. Blockstream Jade signing devices are straightforward and secure, making them the perfect companion to Swan Vault’s human-centered design. This ease of use does not come at the expense of security; instead, it is a harmonious blend of both, ensuring users enjoy peace of mind without navigating a complex technological maze.
