Overview
Assets on the platform are organized in a four-level hierarchy: organization → vaults → wallets → addresses. Your organization is at the top — it holds your users, policies, and all vaults beneath it.Organization
Your institution’s account. It owns all users, policies, and vaults, and defines who can do what across the platform.
Vaults
Multi-asset containers with customizable policies, quorums, and user permissions. Each vault operates independently with its own approval rules.
Wallets
Inside a vault, each asset is stored within a wallet. Multiple wallets of the same asset can exist within a vault — useful for segregating assets by counterparty.
Addresses
Each wallet can have one or more addresses. For UTXO networks like Bitcoin, multiple addresses can be created — all pooled to the same wallet. For account-based networks like Ethereum, the wallet address is unique.
Crypto vs. USD wallets
Crypto and USD wallets share the same vault structure but behave differently:- Crypto wallets — you can create multiple wallets for the same asset within a vault, each with its own deposit address. This is useful for segregating assets by counterparty or purpose. See Wallet creation for options.
- USD wallets — each vault holds at most one USD wallet with unique wire instructions. USD deposits arrive as wire transfers identified by sender bank information, not wallet addresses. See USD banking for details.
