Collaborative Custody Between Exchange and Customer
Theya helps exchanges give users shared control over their bitcoin, reducing risk and restoring trust.
The Challenge
Centralized custody makes exchanges a target. A single breach or insider attack can lead to major losses. Users often lose funds, but exchanges bear the blame.
Theya’s Solution
Use Theya’s 2-of-3 model: user holds one key, exchange holds another, and a third can be held by Theya or a trusted third party. No single party can move funds. Users must approve transactions, which blocks phishing, insider abuse, and unauthorized withdrawals.
Reduce Exposure
Avoid full liability in breaches with user-held keys.
Prevent Phishing Losses
User approval blocks attacker-initiated withdrawals.
Lower Infrastructure Costs
Use Theya to avoid building your own custody solution.
Build Trust
Offer a secure custody option that improves user confidence and retention.
Manage at Scale
Onboard thousands of users and oversee vaults from one place.
