# Create your first Vultisig vault
Create a Vultisig vault. Fast Vault is one device plus VultiServer. Secure Vault is two or more devices you control. No seed phrase.
Think of the vault as a safe that needs a threshold of keys to open. Your assets live in that safe. The full private key never exists in one place.

## Vault types
Fast Vault
One device + VultiServer (2-of-2)
VultiServer signs with you and can never sign alone
***
## Comparison
| | Fast Vault | Secure Vault |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Setup | About a minute | About three minutes |
| Devices | 1 + VultiServer | 2 or more you control |
| VultiServer | Signs with you. Cannot sign alone. | Not used |
| If one device is lost | Your device backup + VultiServer | Extra device (2-of-3 or 3-of-4) |
If you only have one device, start with Fast Vault. If you want every share on hardware you hold, create a Secure Vault.
A Fast Vault does not turn into a Secure Vault. For the higher threshold later, create a **new** Secure Vault and move the funds.
**Secure Vault thresholds:**
* **2-of-3**: the usual setup. You can lose one device and still sign.
* **3-of-4**: three of four devices have to agree.
* **2-of-2**: both devices required. No fallback if one is gone.

## After creation
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Export a backup before you deposit.**
A lost device with no backup means the funds are gone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.vultisig.com/getting-started/create-vault.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
