Trust · Custody
Your keys, your vaults — not a black-box bank ledger.
Glide combines Privy-backed embedded wallets for everyday use with on-chain Safe (EVM) and Squads (Solana) vaults for treasury. We do not hold a hidden master key to your self-custody assets.
Embedded wallets
Personal and operational wallets are provisioned via Privy. You authenticate; signing stays in the wallet infrastructure. Export/recovery flows exist for self-custody continuity.
- ·EVM + Solana wallets per user
- ·Used for consumer send, swap, and card-linked balances where applicable
- ·No shared “hot wallet of all customers” for self-custody paths
Vault custody (business / treasury)
Entities can provision Safe vaults across enabled EVM chains and Squads on Solana. Owner sets and thresholds are on-chain. Glide helps propose, collect signatures, and relay — it does not silently replace your signers.
- ·1-of-1 solo or M-of-N team genesis
- ·Threshold and owner changes go through proposals
- ·Gas sponsorship optional (Pimlico / Alchemy) when flags are on
Fiat & partner balances
Where money sits in banking partners or EMI rails (ACH, SEPA, FPS, card programs), those balances follow the partner’s custody and deposit-protection rules — not Glide’s smart contracts. We surface partner status; we do not re-label partner money as on-chain USDC.
What Glide never claims
Glide is not an FDIC-insured bank for crypto balances. Stablecoins carry issuer and smart-contract risk. Always read product-specific risk notes before yield or invest flows.
