help Cobo Vault FAQ
How does the Cobo Vault secure private keys using Shamir Secret Sharing?
The Cobo Vault splits your private keys into multiple shares using Shamir Secret Sharing, meaning no single share can reconstruct the key alone. This multi-signature approach requires a threshold of multiple distributed approvals to authorize a cryptocurrency transaction.
Can I connect the Cobo Vault to mobile wallets via Bluetooth or USB?
No, the Cobo Vault communicates with companion mobile apps entirely via air-gapped QR code transmissions. This physically isolates the hardware wallet from internet-connected devices, ensuring malware cannot reach the private keys.
What happens if I lose or damage my Cobo Vault hardware wallet?
Because it utilizes Shamir Secret Sharing, you can recover your crypto funds as long as you have the required threshold of recovery shares. You simply input the surviving seed phrases into a compatible hardware or software wallet to regain access.
Who created the Cobo Vault and what is its relation to Keystone?
The Cobo Vault was developed by Cobo, a blockchain custody company based in Beijing. The hardware line was later rebranded and taken over by Keystone, which continues to update the air-gapped, QR-code-based firmware architecture.
