# 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

**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!**
