Cold storage is a highly secure method of storing cryptocurrencies offline using Multi Party Computation (MPC), which greatly reduces the risk of online hacking or unauthorized access. By keeping your assets in cold storage, we ensure that they are protected from potential online threats.
We also use a strong back-up solution to store the private key. Our priority is to maintain the highest level of security to safeguard your assets and provide you with peace of mind.

Withdrawing funds from cold storage is typically a secure and efficient process. In most cases, withdrawals are processed within 24 hours. This ensures that your assets are accessible while maintaining the highest level of security provided by cold storage. Our goal is to provide you with a seamless experience and prompt access to your funds, while also prioritizing the safety of your assets. If you have any specific inquiries about the withdrawal process or timing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our client support for more details.

Yield

In order to stake your coins, you’ll have to custody them with us and request the staking via the staking form and opt-in.

We do not have any minimum amount for staking however we will follow the minimum amount set by the node operators or blockchain networks.

The staking rewards are earned on a monthly basis.

Staking rewards are calculated and distributed within blockchain networks that use a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. In PoS, participants, often referred to as “validators” lock up a certain amount of their cryptocurrency as collateral to validate transactions and secure the network. In return for their contributions, they receive staking rewards, which are transaction fees paid within the network. Those staking rewards will be your earned amount (minus the 3rd parties fees) since you have lent the coins to the validators.

Yield in digital assets refers to the return generated on your holdings through various strategies such as staking, lending, or liquidity provisioning. It allows investors to generate passive income while maintaining exposure to their digital assets.

Our yield offering is designed with an institutional-first approach, combining secure custody, trusted counterparties, and disciplined risk management. We focus on sustainable, risk-adjusted returns by carefully selecting and monitoring each opportunity.Clients benefit from full transparency, tailored allocation strategies, and a fully managed service, allowing them to generate yield without operational complexity.

Returns vary depending on the asset, strategy, and market conditions. We provide competitive, market-driven yields, with a strong emphasis on risk management and capital preservation rather than purely maximizing returns.

Yield strategies involve several types of risks, including market risk, counterparty risk, and liquidity risk.

We mitigate these risks through a rigorous selection process, diversification across strategies, and continuous monitoring of counterparties and protocols.

Our approach prioritizes capital preservation and risk control, ensuring that all opportunities are aligned with institutional standards.

Payment

To submit a payment, you would need to initiate the request to UDA and provides a valid wallet address. UDA then conducts a wallet check to assess the risk level. Depending on your risk profile and the destination wallet tier, additional documentation might be requested, as determined by risk scoring. Once all documents checks are completed and approval received from Compliance, we’ll proceed with the payment.

As previously stated, Unique seeks to be compliant with all relevant international and local AML standards as well as all-round best practices.

As such, a payment may be denied in the event a AML risk arises inclusive of when:

  1. A payment is being paid to or from a sanctioned country.
  2. There is insufficient customer due diligence or insufficient due diligence on the counterparty.
  3. The payment is inconsistent with the customer/client profile and no justifiable explanation is provided for the inconsistency.

Note that the reasons given above are non-exhaustive and each case will be considered on its own merits.
