How it works

How FORTCORE protects your crypto savings

A FORTCORE vault is a separate account that sits beside your everyday wallet. It adds the one thing an ordinary wallet can't give you: time to notice a theft and stop it.

In short

  1. 01

    You hold three keys

    Your everyday wallet, a backup device and a recovery key. They are all yours, and any two of them together can approve anything.

  2. 02

    One key can only ask

    A withdrawal started with a single key has to wait 48 hours by default. Choose anywhere from 24 to 72 hours.

  3. 03

    You see it and decide

    You are alerted straight away. Two of your keys cancel a request that isn't yours, or approve one that is, with no waiting.

See it happen

Two stories, one vault

Play out a withdrawal twice: once when someone has stolen your key, and once when it's really you.

Roles

What each key can do

No single backup or recovery key can do anything on its own. Your everyday wallet can only ask. Real authority comes from two keys together.

Lifecycle

From setup to everyday use

  1. 01

    Create

    Your wallet creates the vault from the official Safe factory, with your three keys as its owners. You pay the network fee; FORTCORE receives nothing and gains no permissions.

  2. 02

    Switch on the delay

    Two of your keys approve turning on the withdrawal delay and choosing the one key that may ask to withdraw. From then on, the waiting rule applies to every single-key withdrawal.

  3. 03

    Use it day to day

    Withdraw with your everyday wallet and let the clock run, or approve with a second key when you're in a hurry. Nothing else changes about how you use your crypto.

  4. 04

    Stay watched

    FORTCORE checks your vault every minute, alerts you to every request or change, and warns you if anything could bypass the delay.

Practice

Rehearse it before it matters

Protection you've never tested is a guess. Setup walks you through the whole routine with zero-value test transactions.

  • Two verified alert channels, so one hacked inbox can't hide a warning.
  • A practice cancel, so you've done it once before it matters.
  • A practice withdrawal that waits out the delay, so you know what it feels like.
  • A yearly recovery check, where every key proves it still works.
  • An exit kit generated in your browser, so you can operate the vault without FORTCORE.
