Smart Vault

Definition

A smart vault is a specialized digital contract, often implemented on a blockchain, designed to securely hold and manage digital assets according to predefined, automated rules. Unlike a simple wallet, a smart vault can enforce complex conditions for asset access, release, or transfer, such as multi-signature approvals, time locks, or specific event triggers. It offers enhanced security and programmatic control over digital holdings. This mechanism provides sophisticated asset management capabilities.
