2 independent parties or systems must fail before a Unchained holder's bitcoin is at risk.
Unchained's custody insurance is not publicly disclosed.
Unchained uses a collaborative multisig model and scores 83/100 in our independent review, including 86/100 on custody security. No single institution can unilaterally move funds. Safety depends on your priorities; see the full score breakdown above.
Unchained's custody insurance is not publicly disclosed in a form we can verify. Where it exists, custody insurance covers specific named events up to shared limits and does not cover price loss. Confirm coverage in writing before relying on it.
Unchained's architecture distributes control, so no single institution's failure alone can move or lose your bitcoin. Recovery depends on the specific structure; see the custody section above.
Unchained does not advertise a dedicated inheritance or beneficiary feature in the data we track. Confirm current options with the provider, since custody inheritance handling changes.
