How are my funds secured in Lava?

Assets on Lava are secured using institutional-grade cold storage infrastructure.

Lava utilizes a distributed key protocol in collaboration with institutional-grade custodians. Keys are held across multiple geographically distributed entities to ensure that there is no single point of failure.

All funds on Lava are backed 1:1. Your bitcoin only moves when you deposit into Lava, withdraw from Lava, or when you initiate or close a loan. While at rest, your funds are held in segregated cold storage addresses and are never lent out, traded, or otherwise rehypothecated. There are no exceptions to this rule.
