Key Ceremony Facilitation
Facilitated key generation ceremony for new family multisig wallets — air-gapped setup, signer verification, and immediate register creation.
Offline Wallet Audit
A structured audit of existing offline wallet arrangements — verifying signer quorum logic, passphrase practices, and register completeness without accessing private keys.
Why Families Document Their Device Register
When multiple signers hold keys across separate hardware wallets, a single lost passphrase or damaged device can freeze access to years of accumulated reserves. Our register process records each device's model, firmware version, derivation path, and custodian — without storing private keys.
Families in Seoul and across Korea rely on written ceremony records, geographic key distribution maps, and periodic offline balance verification to maintain confidence in their multisig arrangements.

Why a Written Device Register Outlasts Memory
When a family establishes a three-of-five multisig reserve, each signer memorizes their role. The eldest sibling knows the derivation path. A cousin in another city holds the backup device. Passphrase hints live in someone’s notes app.
This works until it does not.
The Failure Modes We See Repeatedly
Firmware drift. One signer updates their Ledger firmware without telling others. Derivation paths shift. A coordinated signature fails during an urgent withdrawal.
Geographic Key Distribution for Family Reserves
A family multisig arrangement with five signers sounds resilient. If all five devices and their recovery phrases sit in the same Seoul apartment, a fire, flood, or burglary compromises the entire arrangement at once.
Geographic distribution spreads risk across locations — but introduces coordination challenges that documentation must address.
Mapping Custodian Locations
During registration, we record each signer’s city, country, and the physical location of their device and recovery materials. Common patterns we document:
Offline Balance Verification Without Exposing Keys
Families often ask: how do we know our documented derivation paths still match our actual holdings without connecting hardware wallets to the internet?
The answer lies in extended public keys — xpubs — recorded during device registration.
What an Xpub Fingerprint Proves
During registration, each signer’s device exports an xpub for the documented derivation path. The register records this fingerprint. Later, using an air-gapped computer or a dedicated offline verification device, you can derive receive addresses from the xpub and compare them against blockchain records.

Full reviews →After our father passed, we discovered his Ledger had a different passphrase than we remembered. The register App Grove Field helped us build two years earlier listed every derivation path and the exact recovery phrase location. Without that document, three of five siblings would still be locked out.— Min-jun H., three-of-five family multisig, Gangnam
The key ceremony felt thorough, though I wish we had scheduled a follow-up sooner — six months passed before we verified our first offline balance check. Still, the written register has already prevented one firmware-update mistake.— Sarah L., two-of-three reserve wallet, Itaewon
