what's Bitcoin Vault?

Bitcoin Vault is a cryptocurrency designed to improve upon Bitcoin's security by introducing a three-private-key system. Users generate a hot key for everyday small transactions, a warm key for medium-sized spends with shorter time locks, and a cold key for the bulk of funds with extended withdrawal delays (up to 72 hours). This architecture protects against theft or compromise of a single key, as attackers cannot access the majority of funds immediately. BTCV powers the Bitcoin Vault blockchain, a Proof-of-Work network forked from Bitcoin with enhanced consensus rules. It also offers a BEP-20 token version on Binance Smart Chain for added flexibility in DeFi applications while maintaining the core security principles of self-custody and multi-signature protections.

Bitcoin Vault integrates Ledger hardware wallet support for vault operations.
