Why do I need to download the ChainGuard app first?

The ChainGuard Mobile App is your complete 2FA security device that you will need for every step. It handles: 1) Login authentication (password + QR code = JWT tokens), 2) OAuth permission approvals, 3) Identity verification, 4) Vault transaction signing with airgapped security. For vault operations specifically, your mobile app provides the second signature that combines with your primary wallet signature for dual-signature on-chain validation. This creates true airgapped security where both your computer (primary wallet) and your phone (mobile 2FA) must approve before any assets can be moved. Downloading it first ensures you have all security capabilities ready before you start.

Is the ChainGuard app available for both iOS and Android?

Yes! The ChainGuard app is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play Store). Both versions have identical security features including airgapped 2FA, QR code authentication, biometric protection, and offline transaction signing.

What is the ChainGuard app used for?

The ChainGuard app is your complete 2FA security device for: 1) Login Authentication - Password (1FA) + QR code approval (2FA) generates JWT tokens for secure account access, 2) OAuth Permissions - Approve dApp connection requests and grant permission-based data access, 3) Identity Verification - Confirm your identity for KYC and cross-platform authentication, 4) Vault Transaction Approvals - Provides airgapped 2FA signature that combines with your primary wallet signature for dual-signature on-chain validation, ensuring enterprise-grade vault security. 5) Asset Management - The dual-validation system (wallet signature + mobile 2FA) provides high-end protection where both devices must approve before any vault operation executes on-chain. The app operates offline for maximum airgapped security.

How does the 2FA QR code authentication work?

When you log in or approve an action, you enter your password (1FA), then scan a QR code with the ChainGuard app (2FA). The app generates a second JWT token that creates a binding session. For vault interactions, ChainGuard uses dual-signature on-chain validation: your primary wallet signature (from computer) PLUS mobile 2FA approval (airgapped). The mobile app operates offline and signs transactions separately, creating true airgapped security. Both signatures are validated on-chain, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your vault assets remain secure. This provides enterprise-grade protection and high-end asset management capabilities.

Is my phone required to be online for ChainGuard to work?

No! The ChainGuard app operates in airgapped mode (offline) for transaction signing and authentication. The app only needs internet to initially download and pair with your account. After pairing, all security operations including QR code generation, JWT token creation, vault transaction signing, and on-chain validation signatures work offline. This airgapped architecture ensures that even if your computer or network is compromised, your mobile device remains secure and can still provide the required 2FA signature for vault operations. The dual-signature system (primary wallet + airgapped mobile 2FA) validates on-chain for maximum security.

What are the ChainGuard membership tiers?

ChainGuard offers three membership tiers, each a one-time purchase for 1 year membership: Basic tier - For individual users starting with ChainGuard, includes Base chain only, 10 credits/month, KYC verification (1 year validity), and full ecosystem access. Premium tier - For users who need full multichain protection, includes all supported chains, 50 credits/month, KYC verification (1 year validity), and full ecosystem access. Enterprise tier - Custom packages for founders, teams & high-security users, includes 1,000+ credits/month, KYC/KYB verification (1 year validity), all networks including ETH mainnet, API access, and priority support. All tiers include monthly credits and full access to all ChainGuard modules.

What is the one-time membership purchase and when do I pay it?

The one-time membership purchase is required to deploy your multi-signature vault and complete KYC verification. Account creation is free, but to access vault features and verified identity, you need to purchase a membership tier. The membership purchase includes: vault deployment, KYC verification (1 year validity), 1 year membership with monthly credits, dashboard access, vault metrics, deposit/withdraw capabilities, and full access to all ChainGuard modules (Identity, OAuth, Mobile App) for 12 months. All membership tiers include monthly credits for gasless transactions, so no additional subscription is needed.

What does my membership include?

Your one-time membership purchase includes: vault deployment, KYC verification (1 year validity), 1 year membership with monthly credits, dashboard access, vault metrics, the ability to deposit and withdraw assets from your vault, and full access to all ChainGuard modules (Identity, OAuth, Mobile App) for 12 months. All membership tiers include monthly credits for gasless transactions, so gasless transactions are available immediately with your membership.

Can I change my membership tier?

Membership tiers are purchased for a 1-year period. If you need to upgrade or change your tier, you can purchase a new membership tier. Your data, identity, wallet bindings, and vault remain intact when changing tiers. If you need additional credits beyond your monthly allocation, you can purchase credit packages on request (one-time purchase) that can be used on any chain.

What does "gasless transactions" mean and how do transaction credits work?

Gasless transactions mean the ChainGuard platform covers all blockchain gas fees for your transactions. You receive monthly transaction credits based on your subscription tier. Credit consumption depends on the network: Layer 2 networks (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon) = 1 credit per transaction. Ethereum mainnet (Enterprise tier) = 5 credits per transaction due to higher gas costs. Credit-based features require a monthly subscription tier, which you can add immediately to your account if you want gasless transactions right away. During your first free year, you have dashboard access, vault (deposit/withdraw), and all other modules without subscription, but gasless transactions require an active subscription tier. This provides predictable costs regardless of gas price fluctuations - you never pay per-transaction gas fees.

Can I change my membership tier later?

Membership tiers are purchased for a 1-year period. If you need to upgrade or change your tier, you can purchase a new membership tier. Your data, identity, wallet bindings, and vault remain intact when changing tiers. If you need additional credits beyond your monthly allocation, you can purchase credit packages on request (one-time purchase) that can be used on any chain.

Which blockchain networks are supported?

ChainGuard supports Ethereum mainnet, Base (Coinbase L2), Arbitrum (Optimistic Rollup), Optimism (Optimistic Rollup), and Polygon (PoS Chain). Basic tier includes Base network only. Premium tier unlocks all L2 networks (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon). Enterprise tier includes all networks including Ethereum mainnet. More chains are added regularly based on user demand.

What is wallet binding in ChainGuard?

Wallet binding connects your Web3 wallet address to your ChainGuard Identity. This creates a permanent link between your verified profile and your wallet, enabling: single sign-on across all Web3 apps (no repeated wallet connections), one-time KYC that works everywhere, unified identity across all dApps, automatic ownership verification, and seamless authentication. Once bound, your wallet address becomes your universal Web3 identity.

Which wallets can I connect to ChainGuard?

ChainGuard supports all major Web3 wallets including MetaMask, WalletConnect (connects 300+ wallets), Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow Wallet, Trust Wallet, Ledger, Trezor, and any wallet compatible with WalletConnect v2. You can connect multiple wallets to your account and switch between them while maintaining the same ChainGuard Identity.

Can I bind multiple wallets to one ChainGuard account?

Yes! You can bind multiple wallet addresses to your ChainGuard Identity. This is useful if you have different wallets for different purposes (hot wallet for daily use, cold wallet for storage, hardware wallet for maximum security). All bound wallets share the same verified identity and KYC status.

Is wallet binding reversible?

Yes, you can unbind wallets from your ChainGuard account at any time through your identity dashboard. However, unbinding a wallet removes its association with your verified identity. If you want to use that wallet with ChainGuard again, you will need to re-bind it and re-verify ownership.

What happens to my wallet binding if I lose my wallet?

If you lose access to a bound wallet, you can unbind it from your ChainGuard Identity dashboard using your other authentication methods (password + mobile app 2FA). Your ChainGuard Identity, KYC verification, and other bound wallets remain intact. You can then bind a new wallet to your existing identity without repeating KYC.

What information is needed for KYC verification?

KYC verification requires: 1) Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver license, or national ID card), 2) Selfie photo for facial verification, 3) Proof of address for Enterprise tier (utility bill, bank statement, or government document dated within 3 months). The entire process takes 5-10 minutes and verification is usually completed within 24 hours.

Is my KYC data shared with dApps?

No! Your KYC data is encrypted and stored in your private ChainGuard dashboard. You have complete control over what data is shared and with whom. When you connect to a dApp via ChainGuard OAuth, you choose which permissions to grant. The dApp only receives proof that you are KYC-verified, not your actual KYC documents or personal information. This is permission-based, privacy-first data handling.

How do I pair my mobile device?

After downloading the ChainGuard app, log into your account on desktop, go to Settings > Device Pairing, and scan the displayed QR code with your mobile app. The app generates a device-specific JWT token that creates a secure binding session. This pairs your phone to your account for 2FA approvals. You can pair multiple devices (phone, tablet) to your account.

What if I get a new phone?

If you get a new phone: 1) Download ChainGuard app on new device, 2) Log into your ChainGuard account on desktop, 3) Go to Settings and unpair old device, 4) Scan QR code to pair new device. Your account, identity, wallet bindings, and all data remain intact. You are just transferring the 2FA capability to your new device.

How long does the complete setup take?

Complete ChainGuard setup takes 10-15 minutes total: Step 1 - Download app (2 minutes), Step 2 - Choose membership tier and make purchase (2 minutes), Step 3 - Connect wallet (3 minutes for wallet binding), Step 4 - Complete KYC and device pairing (5-10 minutes). The membership purchase covers vault deployment, KYC processing (1 year validity), and includes 1 year membership with monthly credits. KYC verification is usually approved within 24 hours. After setup, you get dashboard access, vault (deposit/withdraw), monthly credits for gasless transactions, and all other modules (Identity, OAuth, Mobile App) for 12 months. All membership tiers include monthly credits, so gasless transactions are available immediately. You can start using basic features immediately after wallet binding while KYC is being reviewed.

Do I need to complete all steps at once?

No! You can complete the setup steps at your own pace. Your progress is automatically saved. However, certain features are unlocked progressively: After Step 1 (app download), you can explore the interface. After Step 2 (tier selection and setup fee payment), your vault is deployed and your first year free begins. After Step 3 (wallet binding), you can access ChainGuard Identity and OAuth features. After Step 4 (KYC completion), you unlock full ecosystem access including vault (deposit/withdraw). Remember: The setup fee includes your first year free (dashboard, vault deposit/withdraw, and all other modules). Credit-based features (gasless transactions) require a monthly subscription tier.

What payment methods are accepted for membership?

Membership purchases can be paid using Stripe (credit/debit card) or Ethereum (ETH). All payment methods are secure and processed immediately. Once payment is confirmed, your vault deployment and KYC processing begin, and your 1-year membership with monthly credits starts. The membership includes: dashboard access, vault (deposit/withdraw), monthly credits for gasless transactions, and all other modules for 12 months. Note: $GUARD token payments may be available in the future if and when the token launches, but only after all product milestones are met.

What features are included in my membership?

Your one-time membership purchase includes: Vault deployment (multi-signature vault creation), KYC verification (identity verification processing with 1 year validity), 1 year membership with monthly credits, Dashboard access with full metrics, Vault functionality (deposit assets, withdraw to wallet, view balances), ChainGuard Identity (KYC, wallet binding, unified identity), ChainGuard OAuth (connect to dApps, permission management), and ChainGuard Mobile App (2FA, device pairing, authentication). All membership tiers include monthly credits for gasless transactions, so gasless transactions are available immediately.

What features are included in my membership?

Your membership includes: Monthly credits for gasless transactions (platform covers gas fees), Transaction credits (monthly allocation based on tier), Cross-chain operations using credits, Advanced vault operations that consume credits, Dashboard access, Vault deposit/withdraw, Identity, OAuth, and Mobile App. All membership tiers include monthly credits, so gasless transactions are available immediately. If you need additional credits beyond your monthly allocation, you can purchase credit packages on request (one-time purchase) that can be used on any chain.

What if I make a mistake during setup?

If you make a mistake during setup, you can correct it at any time. For example: 1) Wrong wallet connected - You can unbind and reconnect the correct wallet, 2) Wrong tier selected - You can upgrade or downgrade your tier, 3) KYC information error - Contact support to update your KYC information, 4) Device pairing issue - Unpair and re-pair your device. Most setup steps can be redone without additional fees. However, vault deployment and KYC processing fees are non-refundable once completed. Contact support if you need assistance correcting setup errors.

Can I skip steps and complete setup later?

Yes, you can complete setup at your own pace. Your progress is saved automatically. However, certain features are only available after completing specific steps: After Step 1 (app download) - You can explore the interface. After Step 2 (setup fee payment) - Your vault is deployed and first year free begins. After Step 3 (wallet binding) - You can access Identity and OAuth features. After Step 4 (KYC completion) - Full ecosystem access including vault deposit/withdraw. You can use available features while completing remaining steps, but full functionality requires completing all four steps.

What happens if my KYC verification is rejected?

If your KYC verification is rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common reasons include: 1) Poor photo quality or unclear documents, 2) Expired identification documents, 3) Mismatched information, 4) Document not accepted in your region. You can resubmit your KYC application with corrected information. There's no additional fee for resubmission. If you continue to have issues, contact support for assistance. KYC verification is processed by third-party providers, and ChainGuard support can help troubleshoot verification problems.

Do I need to complete KYC before using ChainGuard?

KYC is required for certain features but not all. You can: 1) Create an account and explore the dashboard without KYC, 2) Download the mobile app and pair your device without KYC, 3) Connect your wallet and use Identity features without KYC. However, KYC is required for: 1) Vault deposit/withdraw operations, 2) High-value transactions, 3) Enterprise tier access, 4) Certain compliance features. You can start using ChainGuard immediately and complete KYC when you need those features. KYC verification typically takes 5-10 minutes to submit and 24 hours for approval.

Can I change my setup options after payment?

Some setup options can be changed, others cannot: Can change: 1) Membership tier (upgrade/downgrade anytime), 2) Connected wallets (add/remove wallets), 3) Paired devices (unpair/repair devices), 4) KYC information (update with support assistance). Cannot change: 1) Setup fee option (Base vs Extended) - You'd need to pay for additional network deployments, 2) Vault deployment network (without additional fees). If you chose Base setup but later want multi-chain access, you can upgrade your tier and deploy vaults on additional networks, but this may incur additional deployment costs.

What devices are compatible with the ChainGuard mobile app?

The ChainGuard mobile app is compatible with: iOS devices running iOS 13.0 or later (iPhone 6s and newer, iPad with iOS 13+), Android devices running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later. The app requires: 1) Camera access for QR code scanning, 2) Biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint) for security, 3) Internet connection for initial download and pairing (offline operation after pairing). The app is optimized for smartphones but also works on tablets. You can pair multiple devices to your account for redundancy.

Can I use the ChainGuard app on multiple devices?

Yes, you can pair multiple devices (phone, tablet, etc.) to your ChainGuard account. This provides redundancy - if one device is lost or unavailable, you can use another device for 2FA approvals. All paired devices have the same level of access and can approve transactions. However, for security, we recommend: 1) Keeping paired devices secure, 2) Unpairing devices you no longer use, 3) Using devices you control (not shared devices). You can manage paired devices in your dashboard settings.

What happens if my phone battery dies during a transaction?

If your phone battery dies during a transaction, the transaction will not complete until you can approve it with your mobile app. Transactions require both your primary wallet signature AND mobile 2FA approval. If your phone is unavailable, you can: 1) Charge your phone and complete the approval, 2) Use another paired device if you have one, 3) Cancel the pending transaction from your dashboard. The transaction will remain pending until you provide the mobile 2FA approval. This is a security feature - transactions cannot complete without all required approvals.

Does the ChainGuard app drain my phone battery?

No, the ChainGuard app is designed to be battery-efficient. It operates primarily in offline mode, only connecting to the internet when necessary (like during pairing or syncing). The app uses minimal background resources and doesn't run constant processes. Battery usage is similar to other security apps. The app only activates when you: 1) Open it to approve a transaction, 2) Scan a QR code, 3) View your account status. For optimal battery life, ensure the app is updated to the latest version.

Can I use ChainGuard without a smartphone?

The ChainGuard mobile app is required for 2FA security, which is a core security feature. However, if you don't have a smartphone, you can: 1) Use a tablet with the ChainGuard app, 2) Use an iPod Touch or other iOS device with camera and internet, 3) Contact support for alternative solutions (may require Enterprise tier). The mobile app is essential for the three-address protocol security model. Without it, you cannot use vault features that require multi-signature approval. The app is free and available on both iOS and Android.

What is the difference between primary and fallback wallets?

In ChainGuard's three-address protocol: Primary wallet is your main wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) that you use for daily operations. It provides the first signature for vault transactions. Fallback wallet is an optional backup wallet that can be used if your primary wallet is compromised or unavailable. Both wallets are bound to your ChainGuard Identity and share the same KYC status. You can switch between primary and fallback wallets in your dashboard. Having a fallback wallet adds an extra layer of security and redundancy.

Can I use a different wallet for each blockchain network?

Yes, you can use different wallets for different blockchain networks. For example, you might use MetaMask for Ethereum and Base, and Coinbase Wallet for Polygon. All wallets are bound to your single ChainGuard Identity, so you maintain one unified identity across all networks. When you interact with a specific network, ChainGuard will use the wallet you've designated for that network. You can manage wallet-network associations in your dashboard settings. This flexibility allows you to use the wallet you prefer for each network while maintaining a single ChainGuard account.

What happens if my wallet provider (like MetaMask) has an outage?

If your wallet provider has an outage, you can: 1) Wait for the provider to restore service, 2) Switch to a different wallet provider (if you have one bound to your account), 3) Use your fallback wallet if configured. Your ChainGuard vault and assets remain secure during wallet provider outages because the three-address protocol requires multiple approvals. The outage only affects your ability to initiate new transactions, not the security of your existing assets. ChainGuard recommends having multiple wallet options bound to your account for redundancy.

Do I need to keep my wallet connected to ChainGuard?

No, you don't need to keep your wallet constantly connected. Your wallet binding creates a permanent link between your wallet address and ChainGuard Identity. You only need to connect your wallet when: 1) Initiating transactions that require your wallet signature, 2) Switching between bound wallets, 3) Adding new wallets to your account. For security, it's recommended to disconnect your wallet when not actively using ChainGuard. The binding remains active, and you can reconnect anytime. This reduces the risk of unauthorized transactions if your computer is compromised.

Which countries are supported for KYC verification?

ChainGuard KYC verification supports most countries worldwide through our third-party verification providers. Supported regions include: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and many others. Some countries may have restrictions or require additional documentation. If your country is not listed, contact support to check availability. KYC requirements vary by region - some regions may require additional proof of address or enhanced verification for Enterprise tier users.

Is my KYC information stored securely?

Yes, your KYC information is stored with bank-level encryption and security. ChainGuard uses industry-leading third-party KYC providers (similar to those used by major financial institutions) who are compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations. Your KYC data is: 1) Encrypted at rest and in transit, 2) Stored in secure, compliant data centers, 3) Only accessible to authorized personnel, 4) Never shared with dApps (only verification status), 5) Subject to strict retention policies. You can request deletion of your KYC data at any time, subject to legal retention requirements.

Do I need to complete KYC again if I already have KYC with another service?

Unfortunately, ChainGuard requires its own KYC verification because: 1) Different services have different verification standards, 2) ChainGuard needs to verify identity specifically for its security protocols, 3) Cross-platform KYC sharing raises privacy concerns. However, the process is quick (5-10 minutes) and you only need to do it once. Your ChainGuard KYC verification works across all ChainGuard services and any dApps that integrate ChainGuard OAuth, so you won't need to verify again for each dApp connection.

What KYC level do I need for different features?

ChainGuard uses tiered KYC levels: Basic KYC (Level 1) - Required for: Account creation, wallet binding, basic Identity features, mobile app pairing. Standard KYC (Level 2) - Required for: Vault deposit/withdraw, gasless transactions, OAuth connections, Premium tier access. Enhanced KYC (Level 3) - Required for: Enterprise tier, high-value transactions, API access, custom compliance features. Most users only need Basic or Standard KYC. Enhanced KYC is only required for Enterprise tier users or specific high-value use cases. The KYC level is automatically determined based on your tier and usage.

What should I do if I can't scan the QR code?

If you can't scan the QR code, try: 1) Ensure good lighting and hold phone steady, 2) Clean your camera lens, 3) Move closer or further from the QR code, 4) Try a different device or browser, 5) Refresh the page to generate a new QR code, 6) Check that camera permissions are enabled for the ChainGuard app. If scanning still fails, you can: 1) Use manual pairing code (if available), 2) Contact support for alternative pairing methods, 3) Try pairing from a different device. QR code scanning is the primary method, but support can provide alternatives if needed.

Can I import my existing wallet into ChainGuard?

Yes! You can import your existing wallet into ChainGuard through wallet binding. During setup, connect your existing wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) to bind it to your ChainGuard Identity. Your wallet address becomes part of your unified ChainGuard Identity, and you can use it with all ChainGuard features including vault operations, OAuth authentication, and cross-platform access. You don't need to create a new wallet - just bind your existing one. All your existing assets remain in your wallet and can be transferred to your ChainGuard vault if desired.

How do I migrate from MetaMask to ChainGuard?

Migrating from MetaMask to ChainGuard is simple: 1) Create a ChainGuard account (free), 2) Download the ChainGuard mobile app, 3) During setup, connect your MetaMask wallet through wallet binding, 4) Your MetaMask wallet becomes your primary wallet in ChainGuard, 5) Complete KYC verification and vault setup, 6) Transfer assets from MetaMask to your ChainGuard vault (optional). You don't need to abandon MetaMask - you can continue using it, but now it's enhanced with ChainGuard's security features including multi-sig vault, mobile 2FA, and unified identity. Your MetaMask wallet remains fully functional.

Can I import my transaction history?

ChainGuard doesn't automatically import transaction history from other wallets, but you can: 1) View your transaction history on blockchain explorers (Etherscan, Basescan, etc.) using your wallet address, 2) Use ChainGuard's dashboard to view transactions made through ChainGuard services, 3) Export transaction data from your previous wallet and import it manually if needed. ChainGuard focuses on future transactions and security rather than historical data migration. All new transactions made through ChainGuard (vault operations, OAuth connections, etc.) are automatically tracked in your dashboard.

How do I transfer assets from another wallet to ChainGuard Vault?

To transfer assets to your ChainGuard vault: 1) Complete ChainGuard setup (account creation, KYC, vault deployment), 2) From your existing wallet, send assets to your ChainGuard vault address (found in your dashboard), 3) Confirm the transaction with your existing wallet, 4) Assets will appear in your ChainGuard vault once the transaction is confirmed on-chain. The transfer is a standard blockchain transaction - you pay gas fees (or use ChainGuard gasless credits if you have an active subscription). Your vault address is a multi-signature smart contract that requires your primary wallet signature + mobile 2FA for withdrawals.

Can I use ChainGuard with my existing hardware wallet?

Yes! ChainGuard fully supports hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor, etc.) through WalletConnect integration. To use your hardware wallet: 1) Connect your hardware wallet to ChainGuard during wallet binding, 2) Your hardware wallet becomes your primary wallet in the three-address protocol, 3) All vault operations require your hardware wallet signature + mobile 2FA, 4) Your hardware wallet remains the primary security layer. This provides maximum security: hardware wallet (primary signature) + ChainGuard mobile app (2FA signature) + optional fallback wallet. Your hardware wallet continues to work exactly as before, but now with ChainGuard's enhanced security features.

How do I migrate from another multi-sig solution?

To migrate from another multi-sig solution: 1) Create a ChainGuard account and complete setup, 2) Deploy your new ChainGuard vault (included in setup fee), 3) Transfer assets from your old multi-sig to your new ChainGuard vault address, 4) Update any integrations or dApps to use your new ChainGuard vault address, 5) Once migration is complete, you can close your old multi-sig (if desired). The migration process is straightforward - it's essentially transferring assets from one address to another. ChainGuard's three-address protocol provides similar security to other multi-sig solutions but with additional features like mobile 2FA, unified identity, and gasless transactions.
