Standby Wallets
This article explains what a Standby Wallet is, why it’s important, and how to set one up.
What is a Standby Wallet?
A Standby Wallet is a backup wallet designed to protect your assets if your primary wallet provider becomes unavailable or goes offline.
Key things to know:
-
Your Standby Wallet is always with a different provider than your primary wallet.
-
It remains inactive under normal circumstances.
-
It is only used if your assets need to be transferred from your Primary Wallet to the Standby Wallet.
Think of it as an emergency fallback that ensures business continuity and asset safety.
