The Real Bitcoin Platform 

Swan's platform provides custody options and tiered services designed to scale with client wealth.

Custody Options

• Self-Custody – Swan encourages self-custody through complementary withdrawals and extensive education. While self-custody is the ultimate goal, we recognize the need for secure options along the way. Swan Safe and Swan Vault are our commitments to providing options across the spectrum of Bitcoin custody risk models.
  
  
• Swan Safe – Swan Safe is built on the time-tested principles of segregated custody. Clients establish a direct relationship with Swan's custody partners—Bakkt, BitGo, and Equity Trust—ensuring Bitcoin is held by a regulated custodian.
  
  
• Swan Vault – Swan Vault makes advanced Bitcoin security simple and accessible. It utilizes a 2-of-3 collaborative multisignature setup, where clients hold two keys and keep them offline. The third key is managed through the client's Swan account for transaction signing convenience and emergency recovery. Clients have total control of their Bitcoin, but they don't have to go it alone.

"Swan Vault represents the highest standard of collaborative custody, making advanced multisignature security simple and accessible," said Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo. "By ensuring clients maintain total control of their assets while benefiting from expert setup and layered protection, Swan is setting a new precedent for security in the financial services landscape."
