Create and use your wallet

Business guide — a multi-signature wallet, connected to ACTUARUS

On ACTUARUS, your funds never pass through the platform: they stay in your wallet until they are locked in the transaction's smart contract. The choice and configuration of this wallet are therefore essential. For a company, ACTUARUS recommends a multi-signature wallet.

WHY A MULTI-SIGNATURE WALLET

A standard wallet relies on a single key: the person who holds it alone controls the funds, and losing it makes them inaccessible. A multi-signature wallet requires the agreement of several signatories for each operation, according to a threshold you set — for example two signatures out of three.

BenefitIn practice
No single person moves the fundsEach payment is validated by several managers, like a dual bank signature.
A lost key blocks nothingWith a two-out-of-three threshold, the other two signatories keep access and replace the lost key.
Governance suited to a companySignatories can be added or removed as people join and leave, without changing address.

CHOOSE ACCORDING TO THE NETWORK

ACTUARUS runs on Ethereum and Solana

EthereumSafe — app.safe.globalHardware key (Ledger, Trezor) paired with MetaMask or Rabby
SolanaSquads — squads.xyzHardware key (Ledger) paired with Phantom or Solflare

Choose the network before creating the wallet: this is the network on which you will receive your stablecoins and settle your transactions. For most companies, a single wallet is enough.

CREATE THE WALLET IN FIVE STEPS

  1. Appoint the signatories and the threshold

    Choose at least three signatories — for example the managing director, the finance director and a director — and a threshold of two signatures. Avoid a threshold equal to the number of signatories: losing a single key would block the funds.

  2. Equip each signatory

    Each signatory creates their own personal wallet, ideally protected by a hardware key. They write down their recovery phrase on paper, keep it offline in a safe place, and never photograph or share it.

  3. Create the multi-signature wallet

    From Safe (Ethereum) or Squads (Solana), a signatory creates the wallet, names it after the company, adds each signatory's address and sets the threshold.

  4. Deploy the wallet

    The creation is recorded on the blockchain. It requires a small amount of the network's native token — ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana — to be provided in the wallet of the signatory who creates the account.

  5. Register the address

    Copy the multi-signature wallet's address and add it to the authorised withdrawal addresses with your authorised provider. It is this address, and not a signatory's, that will receive your stablecoins.

USE THE WALLET ON ACTUARUS

  1. Connect the wallet

    From your ACTUARUS space, connect your multi-signature wallet. It becomes the company's settlement account for all your transactions.

  2. Sign the contract

    The parties validate the terms of the transaction — price, condition, compliance criteria, deadlines — and sign the electronic contract.

  3. Lock the funds

    A signatory proposes the lock, the others approve it up to the set threshold. The funds then move from your wallet to the smart contract. Network fees are covered by ACTUARUS.

  4. Receive and confirm

    On receipt of the goods, the buyer confirms compliance under the same signature rule.

  5. Receive the payment

    On the seller's side, the released funds arrive directly in the company's multi-signature wallet, ready to be kept or converted back into euros.
