# Vaults Vaults in THORWallet are a new standard of **multi-signature** wallets created by[ Vultisig](https://docs.vultisig.com/), integrated into Thorwallet for enhanced security. There are two types of vaults: **Hot Vaults** and **Cold Vaults**. These vaults offer advanced protection by requiring multiple signatures to authorize transactions > ### **How do Hot Vaults work?** > > In a Hot Vault, you have two vault shares: > > * User-side share: Stored on your device. > * Server-side share: Stored on the server (sent to you via email as backup). > > When using Fast Sign in Hot Vaults, your device signs the transaction (user-side share), and the server automatically signs it (server-side share). If the server is offline, you can import the server-side share (sent via email) onto another device and perform a paired sign to complete the transaction ### Hot Vault Working {% embed url="" %} *** ### Hot Vault Creation Guide {% embed url="" %} {% hint style="danger" %} **All backup files of each device should be stored in separate locations to protect your assets. This ensures that even if one location is compromised, your assets remain secure!** {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
