What is KEVLAR?

Our KEVLAR app is an easy-to-use multi-signature (multisig) storage platform for holding Bitcoin.

Eliminating single points of failure through a multisig setup is the most secure way to store Bitcoin. In KEVLAR, a vault can be opened, and multiple keys are created to provide access. You will always need more than one key to send funds. KEVLAR provides cutting-edge security without the need for a separate hardware wallet, making a multi-sig solution accessible to everyone, even those without advanced technical skills.

What is a Private Key?

We are all accustomed to using passwords to safeguard our email or even bank accounts and other private data or systems. A private key for Bitcoin is like a password, but with a extreme level of more secure.

Your private keys for a bitcoin account consist of a string of random characters known as a 256-bit number. These numbers are so astronomically big that any attempt to forge or guess them would be a waste of time and resources, even with the world’s most powerful super computers. Furthermore, even if you guessed the private key, you would need to know the public key linked to the funds and wallet addresses that the keys work.

Can KEVLAR Access Your Funds?

No. We hold and have access to zero Bitcoin. KEVLAR is not a custodian of Bitcoin because we don't ever hold enough keys to send funds from your vault. We hold only one key for your vault, intended for emergency use only if one of your other keys is lost or stolen.

We provide the tools needed to self-custody your Bitcoin in an easy and straightforward way.

Why is multisig security important?

As mentioned above, the most secure way to store Bitcoin is by eliminating single points of failure through multisig security.

With single-signature solutions, if your key is lost or stolen by hackers, so are your funds. Multisig means that even if a key is lost or stolen, you can still use the other keys to recover your funds.

KEVLAR is an advanced, guided storage solution for holding your Bitcoin without trusting it to a thrid party.
