What are guardians?
Guardians are people and devices you choose to help keep your wallet even more secure.
Guardians NEVER have access to your cryptocurrency.
You can ask them to help you:
- Lock/unlock your wallet
- Approve a wallet recovery
- Approve a transaction
Types of guardian
- A hardware wallet or other device (e.g. another phone) that you own yourself.
- A person you’ve selected because you trust them (e.g. a friend or family member). They need to have an Argent Ethereum account deployed to be added as a guardian.
- A third party service. An example is the default Argent guardian, which uses 2-factor authentication.
