Canton Wallet Passkeys

Passkeys let Canton Wallet owners authenticate with platform biometrics or hardware security keys instead of seed phrases. Only devices that you explicitly enroll can authorize transactions.

How Passkeys Work

  • Canton Wallet uses WebAuthn to bind a cryptographic credential to each trusted device.
  • The credential never leaves the device; authentication is completed locally before a signed request is sent to Canton's private settlement network.
  • You can enroll multiple devices (e.g., primary phone plus a hardware key) so you have a recovery option if a device is lost.

Non-Custodial Control

Canton Wallet is non-custodial. Your passkeys and devices are the only way to authorize movements of $SEND, $CC, or other supported assets. Send cannot access, freeze, or transfer funds on your behalf.

Responsibility & Risk

  • Keep at least one backup passkey (hardware key or secondary device) stored separately from your primary device.
  • If you lose every enrolled credential, Send cannot recover the wallet for you and any assets inside remain inaccessible.
  • Review Canton Wallet Overview for setup guidance before enrolling devices.
  • All balances are under your sole control. Send is not responsible for losses arising from misplaced devices, compromised hardware, or unauthorized access that results from weak local security controls.
