Self-Custody
We help clients design and implement custody setups tailored to their security needs — Bitcoin, DeFi, node infrastructure, and wallet architecture.
Important notice
Muscadine Labs is a DeFi vault curator and technology provider, not a bank, broker, investment adviser, or custodian. Nothing here is investment, tax, or legal advice. Digital asset strategies involve substantial risk, including total loss of principal. Past or projected yield is not a guarantee of future results. You retain custody of your assets and are solely responsible for wallet security, transaction signing, and eligibility in your jurisdiction. On-chain state is the source of truth; this documentation may be outdated. See Risk and disclosures.Muscadine works with clients to build self-custody systems matched to how they actually operate — individuals, families, and teams with different assets, jurisdictions, and operational constraints.
Engagements are scoped around specific security needs: how you hold Bitcoin, interact with DeFi, run or connect to node infrastructure, and structure wallets across daily use, vaults, and cold storage. We document roles, recovery paths, and day-to-day procedures so custody stays practical under pressure.
Bitcoin
Hardware wallets, multisig, paper backups, and BIP-85 child keys — scoped to how you actually hold BTC.
DeFi wallets
Hot and cold segmentation, allowance limits, and safe flows for vault deposits, lending, and day-to-day on-chain activity.
Node infrastructure
Self-hosted or trusted node setup for verification, privacy, and broadcasting — without outsourcing trust you do not need to.
Wallet architecture
Multi-wallet layouts, role separation, and recovery procedures designed around your team, size, and risk tolerance.
Tailored scope
We start from your assets, workflows, and threat model — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Tested recovery
Backups and handoff procedures you rehearse, not documents that sit in a drawer.
