Bitcoin Vaults

Bitcoin vaults work differently from vaults in the EVM and Solana chains.

Features of Bitcoin vaults:

  • Bitcoin vaults have only one chain (Bitcoin) and one asset (BTC).
  • Each vault can have many addresses. There are three address types:
    • SegWit (Bech32) address format - this is the default address format when creating new addresses
    • Legacy address format
    • Taproot address format
  • There is one address in the vault, which is considered the β€œdefault” address. In case of a Vault1-to-Vault2 transaction, the receiving address in Vault2 is the default address. The change of a transaction is always sent to the vault's default address.
  • You can assign a name to an address -- this is useful for off-chain tagging of addresses.
