**2021**

- [3936876-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3936876-021) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Cold wallets typically lack the multisig feature that is common in hot storage, so the single employee acting as agent for a corporation may be the only access point to the corporate digital assets.
  > Accordingly, the person who acts as an agent to a corporation who holds the assets on behalf of the company may be the only access point to the corporate assets.

- [3936876-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3936876-036) [design/asserted] -- Multi-signature wallets and a combination of hot and cold storage solutions are the advisable custody design for digital assets.

- [3981021-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3981021-022) [design/argued] -- Any exercise of the multisig endowment wallet keys ultimately depends on a vote in the assembly of the DAO association that serves as legal wrapper, so a donor holding one key among many is involved in endowment payment decisions without controlling them.
  > The exercise of the multisig wallet keys will ultimately always depend on a CHARITYxDAO vote in the assembly of the CHARITYxDAO association (the legal wrapper – if chosen to be a Swiss Association). As a multisig key holder, the donor will be involved in multisig endowment payment
