Multi-signature wallets require multiple private keys to authorize a transaction or recover wallet on a different device. It means that even if one private key is compromised, a malicious actor cannot access the funds without the other required keys. Having multiple distributed keys does not create a honey pot for an attacker. Therefore, it significantly reduces the risk of theft or unauthorized access. Even if some of the keys are compromised, those keys can be replaced with new keys.

Linen Wallet is a multi-signature wallet that uses Safe smart contracts as its core. The same custody solution that protects over $35b worth of crypto assets for the large crypto asset holders. In the current implementation users of Linen Wallet protect their assets with 3 private keys and 2 of 3 keys are required to access the wallet. You lose one? You can still access your wallet. Someone steals one? They still can't access it. This is what makes Linen unique. Check of this article to learn more about Linen Wallet security.

Linen Wallet is a user self-custody multisig wallet. It means that the company behind Linen Wallet does not store any asset or have the 2 required keys to access user assets. In the current implementation users on iOS (coming soon on Android) have access to 2 of the 3 keys required to access their wallet and make transactions. Suppose the app is not available in App Store/Google Play. In that case, users can access Linen Wallet via third party interfaces like the Safe mobile/web app or others. We call this a Sovereign Mode. Here is an instruction on how to access Linen Wallet from third-party interfaces.
