How is Guardblock different from competitors?

Guardblock is different to other collaborative bitcoin custodial services. With other services, the option for them to move your funds without your consent is always there, due to the structure of their service.

Even in the case of multi-entity setups, they can collaborate with each other to move your funds, for example at the request of a government entity. With Guardblock, we use timelocks and the Bitcoin protocol itself to secure the vault, so that we cant appropriate your bitcoin even if we wanted to.

If Guardblock becomes unavailable, your recovery path still exists and remains enforceable on-chain after the timelock expires, allowing you to access your bitcoin no matter what happens to us.

Guardblock is not a custodian and cannot move your Bitcoin alone.
