Best practices

Always perform  two test transactions when creating a new vault:

• First, verify that the deposit address displayed is valid by making a test deposit and confirming receipt; 

• Finally, ownership of the vault and underlying public addresses should be verified by performing a test withdrawal.

Create vaults with redundancy of users and their devices in mind to avoid requiring implementation of the disaster recovery process for instances of a single user losing a signing device

Ensure all users are consistently and frequently backing up their device. These backups should not be saved to iCloud in order to ensure additional redundancy to the native functionality of the mobile application. Instead, choose an alternative storage drive for downloading these files.

At a minimum, each user device should be backed up each time it participates in creation of a new vault or a vault re-share as these processes result in new shares being created locally on the devices.
