​
Overview

The Anchorage Digital platform organizes assets in a hierarchy: vaults contain wallets, and each wallet has one or more addresses.

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.

​
Managing vaults

Administrators with vault management permissions may change vault settings. Changes are subject to quorum approval, after which Anchorage Digital will review the operation.

​
Updating vault details

To update a vault’s name or description: In the iOS app, tap the vault you want to adjust, then tap the three dots to access vault settings. Select Details, edit the vault name and description as necessary, and tap Save.
Updating vault details (name and description) does not require biometric approval.

​
Managing vault users

Administrators with vault management permissions may add, edit user privileges, or remove users from vaults.

​
Adding users to a vault

To grant a user the ability to operate within a vault, add them and assign the appropriate permissions.
1

Navigate to vault settings

In the iOS app, tap the desired vault, then tap the settings icon in the upper right corner and select the Users section.
2

Add the user

Tap Add user and select the user or users to add.
3

Set user permissions

To add all users, tap Select all and then Continue. Adjust user privileges by selecting a user and changing their permissions from Initiate and approve to Initiate only as needed, then select Save changes.
4

Submit for approval

Once all privilege changes are made, select Done. After reviewing the operation, submit biometric approval. Quorum approval is then required.

​
Changing vault user privileges

To modify what actions a user is allowed to perform within a vault: In the vault settings menu, tap Users. Select a user and modify their privileges to either Initiate and Approve or Initiate only. After tapping Finish and review, the operation will go through quorum approval.

​
Removing users from a vault

You can remove one or more users from a vault in a single operation. In the vault settings Users list, tap the Select option to choose the users you wish to remove. Select the users and follow the prompts to complete the removal process.

​
Deleting a vault

Administrators with vault management permissions can delete vaults that are no longer in use. Once quorum is met, Anchorage Digital will review the operation before proceeding with deletion. In the vault settings menu, tap Delete vault. Add a comment (optional), then tap Review to review the operation. Once reviewed, submit it for approval.

Managing wallets

​
Accessing wallet details

From the wallet details page, you can:
  • Check wallet balances and holdings
  • Generate additional wallet addresses (if applicable)
  • Initiate withdrawals
  • Check the deposit address and pooled wallet addresses (if applicable)
  • Edit the wallet name
On iOS: On the vault page, select the asset to see the associated wallets in the vault. Tap the wallet to see its details. On web dashboard: On the vault page, navigate to the Wallet tab and click on a wallet to see its details. Wallet details include balances, tokens associated with that address (e.g., ERC-20 tokens), staked balances, and other asset-specific information such as pooled addresses (BTC assets) or bank account information (USD wallets).

​
Creating a new wallet

On iOS: Navigate to the desired vault and tap the asset you want to create additional wallets for. Tap the icon to create a new wallet and follow the prompts. Give the wallet a name and tap Save to create it. On web dashboard: Click Create wallet to begin. Select the network and click Continue. Give your wallet a name or use the default name, then select Create wallet. Your new wallet is ready for deposits and withdrawals and will appear in the table sorted by creation date.

​
Creating a new wallet address

Additional addresses are available on UTXO-based networks (e.g., Bitcoin). All addresses are pooled to the same wallet. Tap the desired wallet, then tap Deposit. To view additional addresses, tap Pooled addresses, then Generate new to create a new address.
Additional or pooled wallet addresses are only available on UTXO-based networks.

​
Trusted destinations

Trusted destinations streamline and speed up the withdrawal process by pre-approving destination addresses.

​
Adding a trusted destination

Administrators with trusted destination management permissions may add trusted destinations.
1

Navigate to Trusted destinations

Go to Settings and tap Trusted destinations, then tap Add trusted destination.
2

Provide destination details

Search for the asset, scan or paste the address, enter a name and description, then reply to the questionnaire.
3

Submit biometric approval

Submit biometric approval to initiate the operation. Once quorum is met, Anchorage Digital will review the operation.
To use the same trusted destination across assets on the same network, select the checkbox under Description.
It is also possible to add trusted destinations in the web dashboard. If initiated in the web dashboard, users are required to submit biometric approval in the iOS app.

​
Removing a trusted destination

Only administrators with trusted destination management permissions can remove trusted destinations. Removal requires quorum and Anchorage Digital approval. Go to Settings and tap Trusted destinations. Tap the trusted destination to be removed. Review the details, tap Remove, and follow the prompts to submit biometric approval.
