<p>Crypto automation has always required a tradeoff: Either you get convenience or control. You only get to pick one.</p><p>Do you want recurring buys? Use a <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/glossary/centralized-exchange-cex" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">centralized exchange (CEX)</a> and give up your keys. Or do you want a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) bot? Expose your seed phrase. Maybe you want yield optimization? Grant unlimited smart contract approvals.</p><p>Vultisig Plugin Marketplace eliminates this tradeoff. It’s an on-chain marketplace where you can automate across 30-plus chains while keeping full self-custody. No keys handed over, no seed exposure, and no trust required.</p><p>DCA, payroll, and yield strategies — all running autonomously, all under your control.</p><h2 id="why-this-wasn-t-possible-before">Why This Wasn’t Possible Before</h2><p>Traditional automation breaks self-custody at its core. With recurring buys via a CEX<strong>, </strong>you deposit your funds, and they hold your keys. You’re forced to trust the exchange to not freeze, lose, or mismanage your assets.</p><p>Bots and scripts, on the other hand, need your seed phrase or private key to sign transactions. One compromised bot, one leaked key, and your funds are gone.</p><p>With smart contract approvals, you grant unlimited token access. One exploit in the contract, and your wallet gets drained.</p><p>Every solution has required you to give something up. And that’s the fundamental problem: Someone or something has needed signing power over your funds.</p><p>Vultisig solves this with threshold signatures and a policy enforcement layer that hasn’t existed until now.</p><h2 id="how-vultisig-works">How Vultisig Works</h2><p>Vultisig uses threshold signatures. Think of this like a vault that needs two out of three keys to be opened. No single device controls your funds.</p><p>Plugins can tap into this system without breaking it.</p><h3 id="installation">Installation</h3><p>When you add a plugin, the vault reshares into a new configuration. The plugin gets a key share, and a Verifier gets a key share. Neither can act alone.</p><h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3><p>You define the rules, such as spending limits, allowed tokens, and approved destinations. The Verifier enforces these rules for every transaction.</p><h3 id="execution">Execution</h3><ol><li>The plugin detects a trigger (time, price, on-chain event).</li><li>The plugin proposes a transaction.</li><li>The Verifier checks against your rules.</li><li>If it passes, it co-signs and executes.</li><li>If it doesn’t match, it is rejected — no exceptions.</li></ol><h3 id="control">Control</h3><p>The rules can be changed at any time. You can uninstall instantly, and plugin shares are deleted. There is no lingering access and no waiting periods.</p><p>The plugin proposes, the Verifier enforces, and you stay in control.</p><h2 id="what-you-can-do-now">What You Can Do Now</h2><p>The Vultisig Plugin Marketplace is launching with two plugins: Recurring Swaps (DCA) and Recurring Sends (Payroll).</p><p>Recurring Swaps lets you stack sats weekly, accumulate Ethereum (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) monthly, and/or rebalance your portfolio automatically. It works across 30+ chains, including Bitcoin (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>), Ethereum, Solana (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>), Cosmos (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cosmos/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ATOM</a>), and all <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/glossary/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)</a> networks.</p><p>Recurring Sends lets you automate payments to any address, any chain, on any schedule. It features treasury management, subscriptions, and team payroll. Set it once, and it runs forever.</p><h2 id="what-s-next-anything">What’s Next? Anything</h2><p>Limit orders that execute at your price. Yield optimizers that auto-compound. Airdrop claimers that sweep rewards. Portfolio rebalancers that maintain allocations. Cross-chain arbitrage. Conditional transfers. AI-triggered strategies.</p><p>If it can be defined as a trigger and a transaction, it can run on the Vultisig Plugin Marketplace. The only limit is what gets built.</p><h2 id="for-builders">For Builders</h2><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/458d7e709e154a308b8d4e89bc04cbb5.png"><p>The Vultisig Plugin Marketplace is an open platform. There are no gatekeepers or protocol whitelists, and no permission is needed.</p><h3 id="build-anything">Build Anything</h3><p>The architecture doesn’t care what your plugin does. Time-based triggers, price feeds, on-chain events, custom webhooks — it’s all possible. Simply define your logic, propose transactions, and let the Verifier handle policy enforcement.</p><h3 id="economics">Economics</h3><p>Monetize the way you want.<strong></strong>70% of fees go to plugin developers, while 30% goes to the VULT (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vultisig/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VULT</a>) token.</p><p>Self-custodial automation has been waiting for the right infrastructure — and now it exists. What you build on it is up to you.</p><p><strong>Start building at <a href="https://docs.vultisig.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">docs.vultisig.com</a>.</strong></p><p><strong>Try it now at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">apps.vultisig.com</a>.</strong></p><p><em>(CMC Labs: Partnership)</em></p><p><em>Disclaimer: This article was written by an outside contributor and does not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of CoinMarketCap.</em></p>
