Note: This option is available for 2 of 3 multisig users only.
Basic multisig in the Casa App uses 2 of 3 multisig, and has 3 keys by default:
- Mobile Key (stored on your phone)
- Hardware Device Key (Trezor, Ledger, or Coldcard)
- Casa Recovery Key (emergency key held by Casa)
While most Casa Gold Members users have the above key setup, we allow Gold users the option to replace the Mobile Key with a second Hardware Device Key, so that they 3 keys become:
- Hardware Device Key
- Hardware Device Key
- Casa Recovery Key
The option to replace the mobile key is built into the App. While we recommend using the default setup (with the mobile key), we do like to give the user as much control over their setup as possible.
Using the non-standard setup with two hardware wallet keys is recommended for advanced users only!
Not sure if you want to use two hardware devices in your setup? Check out this article on choosing your basic multisig setup, which walks through the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
If you do want to change your setup from a Mobile Key to a second Hardware Device Key, our instructions are below.
Replacing your Mobile Key
In order to replace your mobile key with a second hardware device, you must first have a second hardware device available and ready to use. We recommend you use your hardware devices exclusively with the Casa App, so you should use a hardware device that's not currently in use with anything else.
You can purchase a Ledger or Trezor device from our store.
Replacing your existing Mobile Key with a second Hardware Key does involve an on-chain transaction to a new keyset you'll create in the Casa App.
1. From within the Casa App, tap "Switch Key Setup" from your Basic Multisig screen.
2. Follow the instructions to connect your new hardware key.
3. Transfer your funds from the old keyset to your new keyset (we’ll guide you through it in the app).
NOTE: If you're taking advantage of the "Subaccounts" feature in Casa App, and you have an additional 2 of 3 keyset, then you will also need to send funds to a new keyset from your secondary subaccount wallet, in addition to your primary wallet.
You're all set! Don't forget to complete a Health Check for your Hardware Device keys to ensure they are both working properly.
