Theya is a modular self-custody solution, offering both singlesig and multisig vaults. Set up requires:


Smartphone

You will need an iPhone to download and create an account on the Theya app. Your phone can serve as a mobile key for both a singlesig vault and as one key in a multisig setup, if desired.

Theya App

Theya is available in the Apple App Store. Simply download, create an account, and begin your vault setup.

Hardware Wallet(s)

To follow hardware wallet pairing instructions, you will need your device(s) in hand. If you do not have a device(s) yet, links to the manufacturers of compatible devices are provided below (as well as during setup of a vault in the Theya app).

Cosigner

If you choose to add a cosigner as the second key holder of your multisig vault (shared custody), you will need their email. This trusted contact will receive instructions for key setup, with the option to choose between a hardware device or a mobile key.
