Ledger Vault, the core business unit of Ledger, is a crypto wallet management solution that requires multiple authorizations. Through the partnership, Crypto.com will use Ledger Vault to manage its own funds as well as its clients’ digital assets.
Because Ledger Vault has multi-authorisation rules, the custodian of the wallet is able to create, authorize, and broadcast transactions to the chain. This can be done without needing multi-signature participants in the same room.
According to the statement, by doing this, custodianship becomes a process that can be scaled in a fast-moving global market, while still being protected against threats to cryptocurrency - such as hacking, human error, etc.
