Sanctum

Your Sanctum

A Sanctum holds your funds and limits how fast they leave. A thief with your hot key can take about 5% at once and 10% a day. Anything larger waits 6 hours, then goes through in full unless you or a guardian stop it first.

01Your Sanctums

Your Sanctums

Every Sanctum where the connected wallet is the hot key, the cold key or a guardian. Connect your cold key only when you need it, ideally from a hardware wallet.

02Open a Sanctum

Open a Sanctum

Send one transaction from the wallet you use every day. That wallet becomes the hot key, and you choose the cold key and guardians.

Hot key

The wallet connected now. It sends small amounts at once and queues bigger ones.

Cold key

A second wallet you keep offline. Only it can unfreeze the Sanctum, loosen the rules, replace a stolen hot key or change the guardians.

Guardians

Up to five wallets you trust. Any one of them can freeze, and a threshold of them can replace a lost cold key after 7 days. Leave it empty for none.

If you lose the cold key and have no guardians, nobody can unfreeze this Sanctum, loosen its rules or replace a stolen hot key. Uroboros has no admin key over Sanctums and cannot recover it.
