Coinbase will end support for its multisig vaults, focusing instead on its platform and security. Blockchain industry leaders meet in Dubai. And last week there were plenty of other industry conferences held worldwide.

Coinbase Ends Support for Multisig Vaults This Week

Coinbase is in its final week of offering technical support for its multisig vaults. It announced the end of that support on April 19 in a blog post last month. Coinbase plans to redeploy multisig resources on the company’s platform and its security and reliability.

Multisig vaults, which were designed to allow users to manage their private keys and control their own security while using the Coinbase interface, have three keys: two held by the user and one by Coinbase. The company has urged users to ensure they have access to their two keys before the April 19 deadline. Read more here.
