Administrators can create as many vaults as needed for the organization. When creating a vault, you can reuse an existing vault policy to apply the same approval rules, users, and permissions already configured on other vaults—or create an entirely new policy for this vault.

​
Select an existing vault policy

Selecting an existing policy lets you reuse the same quorum rules, users, and permissions configured on other vaults. Any future changes to that policy will apply to all vaults assigned to it.

​
On iOS

1

Create the vault

Scroll down and tap Create new vault. Enter the vault name and description, select the account, then tap Continue.
2

Choose a vault policy

Select Use an existing vault policy and choose the policy you want to apply. Tap Continue to proceed.
3

Submit for approval

Add a comment (optional), review the operation details, then follow the prompts to submit biometric approval. Administrators with vault management permissions will be notified to approve the vault creation. Anchorage Digital will review and finalize the operation, making the vault visible.

​
On the web dashboard

1

Select the vault policy

Select the existing policy you want to assign to this vault, then select Next.
2

Submit for approval

Add a comment (optional), then select Finish and review. Use the iOS app to submit biometric approval — quorum approval is required.

​
Create a new vault policy

Creating a new vault policy builds an entirely new configuration of users, permissions, and approval rules specifically for this vault. Once approved, you can also assign this policy to other vaults.

​
On iOS

1

Create the vault

Scroll down and tap Create new vault. Enter the vault name and description, select the account, then tap Continue.
2

Choose to create a new policy

Select Create a new vault policy, then tap Continue.
3

Add vault policy users

Add a group of users with permission to initiate only, or to initiate and approve operations—such as default, governance, staking, or withdrawal operations. A minimum of 3 users should have initiate and approve permissions.
4

Set policy rules

Add rules to specify which users must approve a given operation type. By default, all operations requiring quorum follow the Any vault operation rule’s quorum and sub-quorum(s). You can add new rules for specific operation types to override this. For details on configuring rules, see Managing rules.
5

Submit for approval

Add a comment (optional), review the operation details, then follow the prompts to submit biometric approval. Administrators with vault management permissions will be notified to approve the vault creation. Anchorage Digital will review and finalize the operation, making the vault visible.

​
On the web dashboard

1

Add vault members

Select Create new vault policy. Add at least 3 members who can initiate and approve operations, then select Next.
2

Define approval rules

Define the rules for which approvals are needed per operation type, with a minimum of 2 approvers per rule. In this step, you can:
  • Set a base quorum and sub-quorums per policy rule.
  • Add rules to adjust the approval requirements for specific operation types.
3

Name the vault policy

Enter a name for the new vault policy. Once approved, you can assign it to new or existing vaults, which will inherit its users, permissions, and approval rules.
4

Review and submit

Add a comment (optional) and preview the changes. Select Finish and review, then use the iOS app to submit biometric approval — quorum approval is required.
