The Fireblocks Cold Wallet solution meets the strictest regulatory and insurance requirements while maintaining enterprise-grade Fireblocks MPC-CMP security. Cold Wallet team members can easily sign transactions from the Fireblocks Console using dedicated iOS devices and any computer with a webcam.
Fireblocks recommends a combination of Hot and Cold Wallet workspaces to streamline operations using a single login and unified user experience.

Prepare your accounts and software
- An Apple ID is required to sign in to the App Store. This ID is used on both the macOS computer and the iOS devices during configuration.
- Install Apple Configurator on the macOS computer using your AppleID.
- Every Fireblocks user requires a 2FA app, such as Google Authenticator, to sign in to their workspace. This can be installed on any personal device other than the Cold Wallet iOS signing devices. Learn more about configuring 2FA with Fireblocks.
