{% hint style="info" %}

  Compatibility: \
  Extension wallet: **Leather, Xverse, Magic Eden, UniSat, Phantom, Orange Wallet, OKX**\
  Hardware wallet: **Ledger**
* **Taproot (P2TR)**\

{% hint style="danger" %}

* When choosing the Vault Type, keep in mind that the owner using an **incompatible wallet extension** will not be able to join the Vault. This means that the Vault will not be created.
* It is also important to remember that you **cannot create a common Vault** for Extension wallets and Hardware/desktop wallets, even though they are compatible with the same type of Vault.
  {% endhint %}

#### ➱ Add co-owners

Add the **Bitcoin addresses** (not Ordinals\&BRC-20 addresses) of the co-owners to the wallet configuration. Ensure that each co-owner provides you with their valid Bitcoin address.&#x20;

Enter the address in the field and click **Save**.&#x20;

Or choose one of previously created contacts from your address book by clicking on the icon.

You can delete an already added owner by clicking **Trash Bin** icon.&#x20;

#### ➱ **Set the confirmation threshold**

Define the minimum number of confirmations required to authorize a transaction and click **Next**.&#x20;

This number should be less than or equal to the total number of co-owners. You can set the policy to 1 of 1, 2 of 3, 3 of 5, or any other combination that fits your needs.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is not recommended setting a threshold that requires all signers. For optimal Vault safety, there should always be at least one signer who is not required to approve every transaction.
{% endhint %}

#### ➱  Review and create your Vault

After setting the owners and policy, review your Vault configuration. Once you're satisfied, click **Create** to initialize the multisig creation on the Bitcoin blockchain. The creation process may take a few moments.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Vault owners and the confirmation threshold cannot be changed after the Vault is created.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Vault with identical parameters (same number of signers, identical signer addresses, and confirmation threshold) cannot be created.**
{% endhint %}

#### ➱ Vault is created

Once your Vault is created, it will appear on the homepage. A newly created Vault can be in ready-to-use or in pending status.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/PvNDa3fT4jgLp6RCljHT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Ready-to-use** Vault have all the owners joined. The owner(s) can already manage it, send and receive tokens, create ordinal inscriptions and more.&#x20;
* **Pending** Vault is still waiting owners to join.  All the added owners have to join the Vault to finalize its creation.&#x20;
  {% endhint %}

Once the last co-owner accepts an invitation and joins the Vault, pending status automatically switches to ready-to-use one.

### Joining the Vault

#### ➱ Join the pending Vault

At first locate the pending Vault in the list of **Your Vaults** on the homepage.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once you have been added as an owner to a Vault, it will automatically appear in **Your Vaults** list with a Pending status.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/KKbOM0FqeC66c1lq1Nmp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To join the pending Vault click **Join** button located on the **Vault preview** or go directly to the pending **Vault page** and click **Join** button on your owner card.

{% hint style="danger" %}
It is impossible to join the Vault if your connected Extension wallet is incompatible with the Vault Type, **Join** button will be inactive. In this case you may try to import your account with the invited address in the [compatible wallet](#configure-the-vault-type).
{% endhint %}

### Deleting Pending Vault

In case you created a Vault by mistake or configured it incorrectly, you can **Delete** it as long as it's still in **Pending** status. Click **Delete** button on the Vault preview or on the sidebar menu of the Vault.

{% hint style="info" %}
Any invited owner can delete a Vault in Pending status without joining it.
{% endhint %}
