An ideal custody solution would offer:
| Security, i.e. protection against... | Privacy, i.e. protection through... | Sovereignty, i.e. protection against... |
- attacks from outside (especially theft and extortion)
| | - unavailability of custodian (especially during bankruptcy procedures or financial system meltdown)
|
- attacks from inside the custodian (especially embezzlement)
| | |
- force majeure (especially [nuclear] war and natural disasters)
| | |
- owner's mistakes (especially key loss)
| | |
We have seen that no gold custody solution is fully able to meet all the requirements. There is always a trade-off between security and sovereignty.

However, with the help of blockchain technology our MISC™ vaults check all the boxes.
