Custody, and the question nobody asks first

Most custody conversations start with where the keys live. That is the second question.

The first is: who is allowed to move them, and what has to be true before they can?

Signing policy comes before storage

A policy is a set of conditions:

  • how many approvers a transfer needs
  • which addresses are pre-approved
  • what happens outside business hours

Storage without policy is a safe with the door open.

See the settlement note for where this bites.
