Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is WaaP?

WaaP (Wallet as a Protocol) is a self-custodial wallet that doesn't require seed phrases. It uses two-party computation to split your keys between your device and a decentralized network, so no single party can access your funds.

Is WaaP free?

Yes. WaaP is free for users. You only pay network gas fees for transactions.

What chains does WaaP support?

WaaP supports EVM chains (Ethereum, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.) and Sui. More chains are coming.

Security

Where are my keys stored?

Your keys are split into two shares:

• One share on your device (derived from your login)
• One share on the decentralized WaaP network

Neither share alone can sign transactions.

What if I lose my phone?

You can recover access using any login method you've set up (email, phone, Google, etc.). We recommend setting up multiple methods.

Can WaaP access my funds?

No. WaaP only holds one share of your key. Without your share, no one — including WaaP — can move your funds.

Is WaaP audited?

Yes. WaaP has been audited by Cure53, Hexens, Least Authority, and Halborn.

Using WaaP

How do I back up my wallet?

You don't need to. Your wallet is tied to your login credentials. As long as you can log in, you have access.

Can I use WaaP with hardware wallets?

WaaP is designed to provide hardware-wallet-level security without a physical device. Hardware wallet integration is not currently supported.

How do I export my keys?

Key export is available for users who need it. This generates a standard private key you can import elsewhere. Note: once exported, your security model changes to a traditional single-key setup.
