Custodianship
Recognizing a need for reliable custodial solutions, tokenization platform, SWARM, has announced a partnership with Copper, today.
Copper is a company which specializes in institutional grade security solutions for digital assets. In this case, their services will be made available to token issuers on the SWARM platform.
Copper provides cold storage solutions, which make use of a technique known as ‘air-gapping’. This is a simple idea, which brings high levels of security, by ensuring that, not only are their storage computer not connected to the internet, but they are not connected to any other device connected to the internet. This practice does not hinder user experience, as a simple scan of a QR code allows for signing transactions.
While Copper only offers its services for digital assets, it intends to expand support for FIAT in the future.
