Bitcoin-Native Vault Security
Trident is AnchorWatch's proprietary vault technology, built from the ground up for Bitcoin. It combines advanced cryptographic techniques with institutional security practices.
Why We Built Trident
Traditional custody solutions were designed for fiat assets and adapted for Bitcoin. Trident was built from scratch specifically for Bitcoin's unique properties and security model.
Every aspect of Trident—from key generation to transaction signing—is optimized for Bitcoin's UTXO model and cryptographic primitives.
Defense in Depth
Multiple layers of security ensure your Bitcoin is protected against a wide range of attack vectors.
Multi-Signature Architecture
Advanced multi-sig setups that prevent single points of failure and require multiple parties to authorize transactions.
Time-Locked Transactions
Built-in time delays that provide an additional layer of security against unauthorized transfers.
Geographic Distribution
Keys distributed across multiple secure locations to prevent localized attacks.
Hardware Security Modules
Integration with industry-leading HSMs for tamper-resistant key storage.
Protection Against Physical Attacks
Trident is designed to make physical coercion attacks—known as '$5 wrench attacks'—ineffective. No single person can access your funds, even under duress.
- No single point of compromise
- Time-delayed transactions
- Geographic key distribution
- Duress protocols
Comprehensive Security
Wrench Attack Protection
Architectural safeguards that make physical coercion attacks ineffective.
Collusion Prevention
Multi-party authorization prevents any single entity from accessing funds.
Recovery Procedures
Robust key recovery mechanisms that maintain security while preventing permanent loss.
Audit Trail
Complete cryptographic audit trail of all vault operations and authorizations.
Built for Bitcoin
Key Generation
Cryptographically secure key generation using hardware random number generators and multiple entropy sources.
Transaction Signing
Air-gapped signing with PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) support for secure multi-party authorization.
Verification
Full node verification ensures all transactions are validated against the Bitcoin network consensus rules.
