Getting started with the 3-key vault
Your 3-key vault is a 2-of-3 multisig wallet. It uses three keys, any two of which are needed to send a transaction. The steps below will walk you through setting up a 3-key vault.
New to Casa vaults? Before diving in, we recommend reading What is a Multisig Vault? for a plain-language overview of how your keys work and what to expect from your setup.
Before You begin
Before starting your vault setup, make sure you have the following ready:
-
A Casa account If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so at casa.io.

How to Get Started
Once you've downloaded the Casa app and logged in to your Casa account (the same email address and password you used to sign up for your Casa membership), you're ready to get started!
Setting up your computer
While most of time you'll interact with your funds through the mobile app, you do need to have a compatible hardware device and computer system in order to fully set up your vault with your hardware device.
