Sending Crypto
Step-by-Step
Select the asset you want to send from your vault
Tap "Send"
Enter the recipient address - paste or scan QR code
Enter the amount - or tap "Max" for everything
Review the transaction - check address, amount, and fee
Sign with your devices - bring your threshold of devices together
Done! - transaction broadcasts automatically
Tips
Double-check the address - crypto transactions are irreversible
Start small - send a test transaction first for large amounts
Have enough for fees - keep some native token (ETH, BTC, SOL) for gas
The Signing Process
This is where Vultisig's security shines:
Initiate - Start the transaction on one device
Pair - Other device(s) scan the QR code or connect via relay
Review - All devices show the same transaction details
Approve - Each device approves independently
Sign - Threshold signatures combine to create a valid transaction
Broadcast - Transaction is sent to the blockchain
No single device ever has the full private key. Even if one device is compromised, your funds remain safe.
