    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      Because it is a 2-of-2 setup, users cannot independently access or move their funds without authorization from Bleap's server. If the provider were to disappear, funds could become inaccessible.
    • Counterparty risk
      2-of-2 multi-sig setup requires both user device and Bleap server to authorize transactions. If provider disappears, users cannot independently access funds without Bleap's server.
    • Market risk
      Relatively new service (founded 2023, beta launched late 2023) with limited track record
    • Security risk
      No specific crypto insurance mentioned; relies on self-custody model for security

    Bleap uses a hybrid custody model with Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. Private keys are shared between the user's device and Bleap's server in a 2-of-2 multi-signature setup. This means both parties must co-sign every transaction, allowing for spending without the user managing a seed phrase.
