From Hot to Cold: Smart, Secure Cryto Fund Movement with Fystack

For many businesses, integrating crypto into their workflow comes with a hidden cost: time and security risks. Teams can spend months building wallet infrastructure and chain integrations instead of focusing on solving real pain points for their users. The result is slow product development, complex systems that are fragile and vulnerable, and an increased risk of failure. A single point of failure can expose the project to hacks and, in the worst cases, wipe out funds entirely.

That’s why we built Fystack. Our wallet stack helps companies store and move funds securely without sinking months of engineering effort into reinventing the wheel. By leveraging MPC technology (Multi-Party Computation), we eliminate single points of failure and power safe fund movement across hot, warm, and cold wallets.

Managing crypto funds is a balancing act. Businesses need fast access for day-to-day operations, but they also need strong protection against mismanagement and external threats. With Fystack, they get both.

Let’s walk through how it works in practice.

Step 1: Deposit Wallets for Every User

For exchanges and QR payment apps, the journey starts with deposits. Each user needs their own wallet address, typically derived from an HD wallet.

With Fystack, businesses can generate deposit wallets easily through our APIs. On top of that, they can attach a sweep task https://docs.fystack.io/wallets to automatically monitor balances and move funds to a central wallet without manual intervention.

Step 2: Auto-Consolidation with Sweep Tasks

Sweep tasks are the backbone of our fund movement engine. They allow businesses to define:

• Minimum trigger values (e.g. sweep only when a balance exceeds a set threshold).
• Reusable tasks across multiple wallets for simpler management.

This ensures that funds don’t sit idle in user deposit addresses while keeping the workflow lean and maintainable.

Step 3: Secure Storage in MPC Wallets

The destination of every sweep should be an MPC wallet, where private keys are never stored in one place. Instead, they’re split into cryptographic shares across multiple nodes.

Every outgoing transaction requires signatures from a threshold of nodes, with role-based access control built in. This makes unauthorized withdrawals virtually impossible.

Step 4: Smart Approvals for Withdrawals

When a user requests a withdrawal, funds usually flow from a hot wallet to their chosen address. Traditionally, every transaction needs manual approval, but this can be painful for small amounts.

Fystack solves this with automatic approval rules. For example, businesses can auto-approve transactions under $100, saving teams from repetitive work while still protecting larger transfers with manual checks.

Step 5: Forwarding Excess Funds to Cold Storage

Best practice dictates that hot wallets should only hold a small portion of funds (typically 5–10% of reserves, depending on risk appetite). The rest should live in cold storage.

Fystack makes this easy: create another sweep task to forward excess balances from MPC hot wallets to cold wallets (such as a hardware ledger address). This way, businesses minimize exposure without compromising liquidity.

Step 6: Real-Time Visibility with Webhooks

Every deposit, sweep, or withdrawal can trigger an event through Fystack’s webhook system. Businesses can subscribe and instantly integrate fund movement updates into their existing workflows, whether for reconciliation, risk monitoring, or customer notifications.

Wrapping Up

From deposit to consolidation, hot wallet operations, and cold storage security, Fystack provides a full toolkit for smart fund movement. The result: businesses save time, reduce risk, and avoid building complex fund management logic from scratch, all while giving their users a seamless experience.
