Ask HN: Who Key for Exchange Wallet? 2 points by vrdvn 3y ago ↗ HN Big exchanges like Coinbase have centralised exchange wallets with billions of dollars, who/how many people know the private key, how do they prevent rouge employee emptying the main account?
[–] wmf 3y ago ↗ No employees have direct access. The private keys should be in HSMs that have automated spending policies that require multiple approvals, etc. [–] vrdvn 3y ago ↗ Intresting, not even the CEO of the company? [–] wmf 3y ago ↗ No.
