Accredifi lets institutions request proof that a user controlled a Trezor-secured wallet at signing time, capture balance evidence, and reverify on a schedule without taking custody.
A Trezor signature is powerful evidence, but it is not a full compliance workflow on its own. Accredifi turns that signature into a structured record institutions can use alongside their existing onboarding, underwriting, and AML/KYC processes.
A valid signature proves the user controlled the wallet when they signed. It does not permanently prove future control.
Balances are fetched and recorded separately. Institutions should treat ownership proof plus balance at time T as the useful attestation.
Accredifi supplies tamper-evident evidence. How that evidence supports lending, accreditation, AML, or compliance decisions remains your policy.
A Trezor verification is not just a signing prompt. It is a recorded workflow that starts with an institution request and can continue through scheduled reverification.
The institution creates an email or one-time link with the requested wallet data and optional verification schedule.
The user accepts the request and approves a one-time message signing action on their Trezor device or supported interface. Accredifi verifies the signature against the wallet address.
Wallet access is granted, evidence is stored, and scheduled reverification can require the user to sign again when due.
Different wallets verify ownership differently. Compare supported wallets and what to expect from the verification flow.
Trezor verification is strongest when the Bitcoin address context is clear. Accredifi records the requested address, message signature, timestamp, and balance evidence so reviewers can assess ownership without asking users to move funds.
Use message signing to create evidence that a user controls a requested Bitcoin address or account context.
Users can verify address control without sending coins, creating a dust transaction, or sharing a recovery seed.
The signing action is confirmed through a Trezor-controlled workflow, keeping private keys inside the device security boundary.
| Wallet | Best for | Verification method | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeFi, ETH, and stablecoin users | Browser/mobile message signing | Fast Ethereum wallet proof without gas or transactions. | |
| Long-term BTC and ETH holders | Hardware message signing | High-confidence evidence for large balances. | |
Trezor | Bitcoin-focused self-custody users | Hardware message signing | Bitcoin-first address-control evidence without moving coins. |
| Privacy-conscious Bitcoin holders | Hardware message signing | Scoped proof for privacy-conscious self-custody users. |

Accredifi gives your team the pieces needed to request wallet access, consume verified evidence, and keep the relationship current over time.
Send an email or one-time verification link from your loan application, onboarding flow, or review process.
Retrieve addresses, balances, and verification proof through API endpoints for your CRM, underwriting, or compliance tools.
Use webhooks and verification schedules to handle access grants, revocations, due dates, and overdue reverification.
Yes, Trezor-based workflows can be used to sign messages for Bitcoin address-control evidence where the connected software and address type support it.
No. A verification signature can prove control without transferring coins, sending a dust transaction, or sharing the recovery seed.
No. Trezor is a wallet, not an identity provider. It can help sign messages that prove wallet control, but legal identity, AML, and KYC decisions remain part of your institution's own workflow.
Accredifi creates a one-time signing request. The user signs it through their Trezor device or supported signing interface, Accredifi verifies the signature against the public address, and the private key never leaves the wallet.
It proves the user controlled the wallet at the time of signing. It does not prove current control forever, and balance data is supporting evidence captured separately at a point in time.
Yes. Institutions can create access requests by API or link, receive events when access is granted or verification is completed, and retrieve balances, addresses, and verification records for their systems.
Yes. Verification schedules can require the user to sign again on a recurring cadence, such as monthly. Due windows and overdue actions can be configured for ongoing assurance.
No. Accredifi verifies wallet control without taking custody. Funds remain in the user's wallet, and no asset transfer is required to complete verification.
