# Unchained (Unchained Capital)

## Profile

Unchained (formerly Unchained Capital) is a U.S. Bitcoin-focused financial services firm specializing in **multi-signature (multi-sig) collaborative custody**, Bitcoin-collateralized lending, and trading products oriented around self-custody.

## Role in This Vault

Unchained is cited by [[entity-scott-darkside]] as a representative provider of **collaborative custody** — enabling individuals and corporations to securely [[concept-self-custody]] their Bitcoin without taking on full solo-key-management risk.

## Why It Matters

Collaborative multi-sig represents a middle path between (a) trusting a centralized custodian like [[entity-coinbase-d8]] and (b) bearing full single-signature operational risk. It is therefore the practical implementation vehicle for [[action-self-custody]] and a key node in the [[framework-the-big-long]] playbook.
