The Network of Keys
Every new connection strengthens both your custody and theirs. Instead of relying on a single institution, Connections creates a resilient, socially grounded support network for your bitcoin.
Connections can be found in your Unchained account as one of the menu items. You can either copy your connection code and share it with another Unchained account holder, or you can receive a code from someone else and enter it on that page. Once entered, a connection request is sent which needs to be accepted by the other user.
Connections is included as part of your annual Unchained vault fee. Anyone with an Unchained vault can create and share connections to their keys with other Unchained users. If you want to accept a connection, you need to sign up for an Unchained account before you can do so.
Anyone that has an Unchained account can use Connections.
Connections can be removed by opening the Connections page and clicking the remove icon next the connection name. Any vaults that have already been created with a shared key will remain. Coordinate with your connection partner to ensure a seamless transition.
