### What is the advantage of using a vault instead of a wallet?

-
Standard wallets on Chia as well as other blockchains only have one key. If this key is lost or stolen, then all of the funds custodied in the wallet will also be lost or stolen. The security assumptions surrounding standard wallets are disconcerting to retail and enterprise users alike. By using Chia vaults, users can feel confident that their funds will remain secure even if one of their keys is lost, and often (as discussed below) if it is stolen.

The Chia reference wallet currently only uses a single key. If this key is lost or stolen, then all of the funds custodied in the wallet will also be lost or stolen.

### Why do I see “Your vault is being minted, the address will be available soon.” after I create a vault?

A vault needs to be created on the blockchain after you click the “Create” button. We have set up a faucet to handle this automatically. However, it does take a few minutes for the on-chain transaction to be processed. You should receive an address within five minutes.

Not at the moment. Currently the Cloud Wallet only supports vaults. We may add support for standard BLS wallets, but we haven't made that decision yet.

### Do vaults always use the same address?

Yes, and this is a departure from the reference wallet, which uses a new address for each transaction. The reason vaults always use the same address is because they are singletons -- the vault itself authorizes the spend of coins under its control, as opposed to standard wallets which are derived from BLS keys.

Currently, yes. This is a departure from the reference wallet, which uses a new address for each transaction.

197
Users must carefully consider the privacy (and therefore security) implications of reusing an address. When the address doesn't change, it becomes easier to put together a historical record of transactions. Vaults that hold significant value could therefore be targeted with physical attacks, as explained in [a Bitcoin wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address_reuse).

Future versions of vaults will have additional security such as multisigs and time locks to mitigate the risk of physical attacks.
