Security record
Alby has not been reviewed for the site's security record yet. The record counts only the maker's own failures — a firmware or app bug, a poisoned update, a breached vendor, weak key generation — and is kept in the wallet hacks review.
Questions
Which coins does Alby support?
Bitcoin.
Is Alby open source?
Yes. Its source code is public at https://github.com/getAlby.
Does Alby support multisig?
Not as far as the directory records. A multi-signature setup needs a wallet that can hold one of several keys; see the wallets directory for the ones that do.
Is Alby custodial?
Yes. Alby holds the keys for its users, so the company can freeze or lose the funds; it is listed but sorted after the self-custody wallets.
