A vault is a type of smart contract which holds escrowed funds and provides additional layers of security beyond a standard cryptocurrency wallet. One of the main features of a crypto vault is a delayed withdrawal function which requires either co-signers or administrative approval before any withdraws can take place. Vaults are popular within the global cryptocurrency and NFT ecosystem.
