SECURITY
Maximum security, full control.
Soveris holds exactly one of three keys. With that alone we can neither move your wealth nor release it nor hold it back.
THE PRINCIPLE
Two ways to lose your crypto
With self-custody — say a hardware wallet like a Ledger or a Bitbox — you carry the loss risk yourself: a lost recovery phrase, a robbery, a death, a typo. Leave your assets on an exchange and you hand control over entirely, trusting a third party: an insolvency, a conflict of interest, an insider, a seizure, no transparency. Between the two there has been nothing — and that is what we built Soveris for.
One end — your own risk Hold everything alone and you carry the full weight. Lose your key and it is all gone — no recovery, no heirs, final.
The point in between — Soveris You can act entirely on your own and you keep control. At the same time, Soveris stands beside you — with safety features and by co-signing your transactions — to shield you from the risks self-custody leaves on your shoulders. You do not have to trust us for that, and everything is transparent.
The other end — counterparty risk With an exchange you are, in the worst case, only an unsecured creditor. It holds your crypto, trades with it, lends it out — and can freeze it or lose it in an insolvency.
THE COMPARISON
Check it yourself, don't take our word.
What truly sets Soveris apart is not a single row but the combination: you keep control, it stays self-custody, but with the guardrails of institutional custody.
Whitelisting, daily and transaction limits, 2FA, time-locks against extortion, inheritance and emergency processes — all in one product.

No column except Soveris is green from top to bottom. MultiSig comes closest, but is supported by only a very few blockchains. Our aim is not to solve every single danger exclusively, but to cover the whole spectrum in one product.
HOW WE PROTECT YOU
The mechanics, traceable in detail.
Four building blocks carry the promise. You can skim or read down to the detail — both are intended here.
Your key on the device, PRIMARY, signs only when your fingerprint or your face releases it — protected in your phone's secure chip, not behind a PIN someone reads over your shoulder. And one key of three is never enough to move anything.
Anyone putting you under pressure wants immediate access. Recovery via your BACKUP key, though, only begins after a time-lock that you set yourself: preset at around 30 days, calmly shortenable down to a minimum of two days (48 hours). The crucial part: a shortening only takes effect after the currently set period has run out — so an attacker cannot drop the lock to its minimum in the moment of coercion, while a lengthening takes effect at once. The running time-lock announces itself across all your channels and can be cancelled at any time. Coercion no longer buys quick access — even at the minimum, the bulk of your wealth sits behind this period. The same holds for transactions: an attacker cannot simply set a new recipient, since every new address carries a waiting period before it becomes active. So no one can force you to move your assets under pressure.
A key that slipped away unnoticed years ago should not stay dangerous to you for years. Every 90 days the key shares are renewed automatically: older shares become worthless even if someone holds them — your address on the blockchain stays the same.
If you send to an address flagged as suspicious, we warn you before you send — for instance a slipped-in or poisoned recipient address. The decision stays yours: we warn, you decide. Soveris holds nothing back and blocks nothing.
ON-CHAIN
Your assets sit on your own addresses, which you can inspect on the blockchain at any time.
No pooled account, no proof of reserves, no netting in the background. You have your wallet on the blockchain, verifiable at any time.

LIMITS
What we do not promise.
Trust grows where the limits, too, lie in the open. We name them as plainly as our own threat analysis names them.
- A double loss stays final. If your device, your password and your recovery passphrase are lost at the same time, there is no recovery. We make this exceedingly unlikely through several independent paths — but it is not zero.
- A fully compromised phone is exposed. If your device's operating system or secure chip is fully compromised and the attacker has enough time to wait out the waiting periods, your assets are vulnerable. We recommend resetting the phone immediately and recovering from the BACKUP.
- Transfers to exchanges remain a dangerous path. If you keep recipient whitelisting to your exchange active, an attacker can force you to first move the assets to the exchange and then onward from there. We therefore recommend setting strict daily and transaction limits.
- We do not say “theft-proof” or “never hacked”. Such absolutes are not serious. We describe what the architecture structurally solves — and what it cannot solve.
REGULATION, HONESTLY
What we are — and what we are not.
We are not a custodian, and we hold no MiCA licence.
We offer you a software solution that makes self-custody itself safer.
What we are
A software provider offering you a wallet infrastructure built on MPC technology. You start every transaction yourself; we only stand beside you and warn you when a recipient address looks suspicious — the decision is yours. You can verify your holdings on the blockchain at any time.
What we are not
No crypto custodian in the regulatory sense — no CASP under MiCA. No custody licence — and as a software and infrastructure provider we do not need one. No seal from a completed audit; we feign none of it — when the time comes, we will say so.
Our solution is self-custody, simply supported by additional infrastructure that takes the risks of self-custody off your shoulders.
