Inside the Onramp Client Dashboard: Vaults, Trading, and Inheritance in One Place
August 26, 2024
The Onramp dashboard gives clients one place to hold, trade, and plan: a Multi-Institution Custody vault for cold storage, trading balances for buying and selling bitcoin (purchases settle directly into the vault, so there is no exchange-to-cold-storage transfer to manage), withdrawal requests verified by two of three independent keyholding institutions, and an inheritance plan with named beneficiaries and percentage allocations.
A tour of what it is like to be an Onramp client, using the actual user dashboard. After login you land on your personal dashboard, where you can view balances, access documents, contact your client service representative, and buy and sell bitcoin.
The walkthrough covers each wallet in your account: your Multi-Institution Custody vault (your main cold-storage holding), a fee vault for paying quarterly fees, and two trading balances for bitcoin and dollars.
It shows how deposits work (view your vault's address and send on-chain), how withdrawals work (you initiate, then Onramp coordinates verification with two of the three keyholding institutions, none of which can move your coins unilaterally), and how buying works: wire dollars to your trading account, buy through the dashboard, and your bitcoin settles directly into your Multi-Institution Custody vault, with no exchange-to-cold-storage transfer for you to manage.
It closes with the built-in inheritance plan: name primary and contingent beneficiaries with percentage allocations, so your family can access your bitcoin without seed phrases or treasure maps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy bitcoin directly through Onramp?
Yes. You wire dollars to your trading account and buy through the dashboard, and the bitcoin settles directly into your Multi-Institution Custody vault. That removes the step most holders dread: sending an on-chain transaction from an exchange to cold storage.
How do withdrawals from the Onramp vault work?
You initiate the withdrawal from your dashboard, on-platform to your fee vault or trading account, or off-platform to any bitcoin address. Onramp then coordinates the secure verification process between you and two of the three keyholding institutions. No single institution has unilateral control of your coins.
Does Onramp include inheritance planning?
Yes. From the dashboard you can set up an inheritance plan naming primary and contingent beneficiaries with percentage allocations. If the worst happens, your beneficiaries work with Onramp to access the bitcoin, with no seed phrases or cryptic instructions required of them.
