THE DAILY REALITY

Does this sound familiar?

Digital asset custodians manage institutional service expectations alongside complex approval controls, blockchain events and evidence requirements. Astrid is an AI assistant persona for configurable customer success workflows: organising requests, preparing operational context and tracking follow-through without replacing compliance judgement, security controls or authorised transaction approval.

FROM PROBLEM TO PROCESS

How an automation could work

An illustrative workflow. Actual integrations, approvals and permissions are reviewed before implementation.

01Map the Custody Process and Decision BoundariesSelect a specific queue, such as onboarding document follow-up or deposit enquiries. Document required inputs, service targets, responsible teams, escalation conditions and decisions that must remain human-controlled.
→
02Validate Data Access and Configure SafeguardsAssess available exports, interfaces and permissions before agreeing a connection method; support for any particular custody platform must be verified. Prefer read-only, minimum-necessary access, exclude private keys and recovery material, and define retention, redaction and access controls.
→
03Test Cases and Reviewer HandoffsTest representative and edge cases, including stale network data, conflicting account records, duplicate requests and sensitive document submissions. Check source traceability, escalation routing and approval gates before allowing any client-facing automation.
→
04Launch a Bounded Workflow and Measure QualityBegin with a limited queue and monitor handling time, unresolved exceptions, correction rates and escalation performance. Review outputs with process owners and expand only after the agreed acceptance criteria are met.

01DOCUMENTS & INFORMATION

Institutional KYB Evidence Collection

The challenge

Custody applicants submit incorporation records, ownership charts and supporting identity evidence in separate batches, making it difficult to see whether a review pack is complete.

What we can build

Compare incoming document metadata with an approved checklist for the applicant's entity type and jurisdiction, then create missing-item tasks and draft secure submission reminders. Route unclear ownership chains and potentially inconsistent evidence to compliance without making an acceptance decision.

✓ Less time spent assembling complete KYB review packs.

From 99 USD

02DOCUMENTS & INFORMATION

Authorised Signer Mandate Pack Checks

The challenge

Signer lists, board resolutions and account mandates can conflict, leaving teams uncertain which instruction authorities have been formally approved.

What we can build

Extract signer names, mandate dates and authority references from permitted documents and compare them with the approved account record. Prepare a discrepancy report for authorised reviewers, with no automatic changes to signers, permissions or withdrawal rules.

✓ Fewer unresolved mandate-document discrepancies.

From 99 USD

03DOCUMENTS & INFORMATION

Custody Audit Evidence Indexing

The challenge

Audit requests for approval records, reconciliation reviews and incident follow-up require staff to locate evidence across multiple repositories.

What we can build

Map each request to an approved evidence checklist and assemble an index of permitted records with dates, owners and source locations. Flag missing evidence and redact sensitive fields before an authorised reviewer approves the response pack.

✓ Less preparation time per audit evidence request.

From 99 USD

04DOCUMENTS & INFORMATION

Custody Contract and Service Obligation Tracking

The challenge

Client-specific reporting deadlines, notice periods and support obligations are easy to overlook when custody agreements and amendments are stored separately.

What we can build

Extract proposed obligations from approved agreements, attach the relevant clauses and ask the contract owner to validate each interpretation. Create deadline reminders and escalation tasks from the validated obligation register.

✓ Fewer overdue contractual service obligations.

From 99 USD

05CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Institutional Onboarding Milestone Follow-Up

The challenge

Customer success teams struggle to explain onboarding progress when legal review, account setup and client testing have different owners.

What we can build

Track approved milestones, dependencies and accountable reviewers in an onboarding case, then issue task reminders when a stage stalls. Draft client updates that distinguish outstanding customer actions from internal reviews without promising an account activation date.

✓ Less time spent chasing onboarding milestone updates.

From 79 USD

06CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Deposit Recognition Enquiry Preparation

The challenge

A client may see an on-chain transfer before the custody account shows a credited balance, generating repeated enquiries about the same deposit.

What we can build

Collect the transaction hash, network, asset and approved account reference, then compare available chain observations with the custodian's recognition policy and internal status. Draft a timestamped explanation or route an exception when the network, asset or destination does not match, without initiating recovery or credit adjustments.

✓ Less handling time per deposit-status enquiry.

From 99 USD

07CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Withdrawal Status Explanation Drafts

The challenge

Clients can mistake an instruction awaiting internal review for a broadcast transaction, especially when different systems use different status labels.

What we can build

Translate permitted workflow states into approved client-facing stages such as received, under review, authorised, broadcast or awaiting confirmations. Include a timestamp and any verified transaction reference, while routing uncertain cases to operations and never approving, signing or broadcasting a withdrawal.

✓ Fewer repeat withdrawal-status contacts.

From 99 USD

08CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Custody Support Triage and Incident Escalation

The challenge

Routine service questions can share an inbox with suspected account compromise, withdrawal disputes and time-sensitive service interruptions.

What we can build

Classify incoming requests using approved severity rules, attach the relevant account and case references, and route urgent security or asset-movement concerns to the designated response team. Track acknowledgement deadlines and draft updates from approved incident statements without exposing sensitive investigation details.

✓ Shorter time to acknowledge high-priority custody cases.

09CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Approved Custody Knowledge Answer Suggestions

The challenge

Support teams can give inconsistent explanations of confirmation policies, supported account procedures or service limitations when guidance changes.

What we can build

Retrieve answer material only from approved, versioned custody guidance and attach the source and effective date to each suggested response. Flag conflicting or outdated articles for their owner and withhold unsupported answers for human review.

✓ Fewer support responses requiring policy corrections.

10TEAM OPERATIONS

On-Chain and Ledger Reconciliation Break Routing

The challenge

Differences between custody ledger records and observed blockchain activity require investigation across asset identifiers, timestamps, fees and confirmation states.

What we can build

Compare authorised read-only snapshots using approved asset mappings, cut-off times and reconciliation rules, then group unmatched items into investigation cases. Attach source references and possible timing differences for a reconciler to assess, without posting adjustments or declaring balances correct.

✓ Less analyst preparation time per reconciliation break.

From 99 USD

11TEAM OPERATIONS

Transaction Screening Case Assembly

The challenge

Compliance reviewers may need to gather transaction details, screening references and account context before they can assess an alert.

What we can build

Collect the alert identifier, screening source, transaction reference and permitted client context into a restricted case pack. Assign the case under your escalation policy and track requests for additional information, leaving sanctions, financial crime and transaction-release decisions to authorised compliance staff.

✓ Less administrative preparation time per screening review.

From 99 USD

12TEAM OPERATIONS

Withdrawal Approval Dependency Monitoring

The challenge

A withdrawal instruction can remain pending because an assigned reviewer is unavailable or required supporting evidence has not reached the approval queue.

What we can build

Read approval-state metadata and identify the outstanding role, evidence item or expiry condition under the existing policy. Send permitted reminders and escalate ageing cases without counting a reminder as approval, changing quorum requirements or requesting signing credentials.

✓ Fewer withdrawal cases with unowned approval dependencies.

From 99 USD

13TEAM OPERATIONS

Network Upgrade and Fork Readiness Coordination

The challenge

Network upgrades and potential forks require coordinated operational checks, service notices and explicit decisions about affected custody services.

What we can build

Turn approved network-event notices into a checklist covering affected assets, internal testing, client communications and accountable decision owners. Track readiness evidence and route proposed service restrictions or resumptions for authorised technical and risk approval.

✓ Fewer overdue network-event readiness tasks.

From 99 USD

14TEAM OPERATIONS

Key Ceremony Administrative Evidence Tracking

The challenge

Administrative records for key ceremonies can be incomplete even when sensitive technical activities are performed within established secure procedures.

What we can build

Track approved attendance confirmations, procedure versions, witness acknowledgements and references to signed completion records in an isolated administrative checklist. Never ingest private keys, seed phrases, key shares, recovery material or signing secrets, and leave ceremony execution and acceptance to authorised security personnel.

✓ Fewer missing key-ceremony administrative records.

From 99 USD

15TEAM OPERATIONS

Custody Fee Invoice Exception Preparation

The challenge

Client billing questions can involve disputed valuation dates, asset classifications, minimum charges or differences between an agreement and an invoice.

What we can build

Compare a permitted draft invoice with validated fee terms and approved valuation inputs, then flag differences with source references. Prepare an exception summary for billing review without choosing valuation policy, changing contractual terms or issuing an unapproved invoice.

✓ Less review time per custody fee exception.

From 99 USD

16TEAM OPERATIONS

Privileged Access Review Follow-Up

The challenge

Periodic custody access reviews can stall when managers do not confirm whether staff still need sensitive operational or administrative roles.

What we can build

Build review tasks from an authorised entitlement export and the approved role-owner register, highlighting leavers, missing owners and overdue attestations. Route proposed removals or permission changes through existing security approval processes rather than modifying access directly.

✓ Fewer overdue privileged-access attestations.

From 99 USD

17TEAM OPERATIONS

Custody Continuity Drill Action Tracking

The challenge

Operational resilience exercises can produce unresolved actions involving client communications, alternate staffing and exception-handling procedures.

What we can build

Convert approved exercise notes into actions with owners, due dates and evidence requirements, then send reminders and assemble a closure pack. Require the resilience owner to validate completion and keep production recovery actions and asset movements outside the workflow.

✓ Fewer overdue continuity exercise actions.

From 99 USD

18MARKETING & GROWTH

Institutional Custody Enquiry Qualification

The challenge

Sales teams receive custody enquiries that omit intended account structure, asset networks, operating jurisdictions or service requirements.

What we can build

Extract declared requirements from enquiry forms and approved correspondence, identify missing fields and compare them with a maintained service-scope matrix. Enrich the CRM with sourced information and route potential mismatches for review without treating commercial qualification as regulatory eligibility.

✓ Less discovery time per institutional custody enquiry.

From 99 USD

19MARKETING & GROWTH

Custody Proposal Assembly and Approval

The challenge

Institutional proposals can accidentally include unsupported assets, unapproved service commitments or security statements that are no longer current.

What we can build

Assemble a draft from approved capability descriptions, validated client requirements and authorised commercial terms. Route asset scope, legal language, security claims and service commitments to the relevant reviewers before any proposal is released.

✓ Fewer proposal revisions caused by unsupported commitments.

From 49 USD

20MARKETING & GROWTH

Custody Renewal Opportunity Briefs

The challenge

Relationship teams can approach renewals without a consolidated view of open service issues, contract notice dates and client-requested changes.

What we can build

Combine permitted contract milestones, unresolved case summaries and documented client requirements into a renewal brief. Highlight potential service expansion only where the approved scope supports it, then assign relationship-manager review before outreach or commercial offers.

✓ More renewal opportunities reviewed before notice deadlines.

From 99 USD

21MARKETING & GROWTH

Institutional Custody Feedback Analysis

The challenge

Requests about reporting formats, account visibility and custody service procedures remain scattered across support cases and relationship notes.

What we can build

Group permitted feedback by custody-specific themes, preserve source links and separate isolated requests from recurring patterns. Produce a product improvement brief for the responsible team without exposing confidential holdings, transaction details or client identities unnecessarily.

✓ Less analysis time per custody feedback review.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

What Digital Asset Custodians ask about AI automation

Practical answers before you decide to automate.

What is Astrid, and which custody tasks can it assist with?+

Astrid is an AI assistant persona, not a human employee or a licensed professional. It can be configured to organise permitted information, draft service responses, track tasks and prepare review packs for digital asset custody workflows. Its role is administrative and decision-support focused; your authorised teams remain accountable for professional judgements, client commitments and operational decisions.

Can this automation approve withdrawals or handle private keys?+

The workflows described here do not approve, sign or broadcast transactions and should not receive private keys, seed phrases, recovery material or key shares. They can track approval-state metadata and escalate outstanding dependencies. Asset movements, signer changes, access changes and other high-stakes actions must remain within your established controls and require authorised human approval.

Does Astrid make KYB, AML or sanctions decisions?+

No. It can help collect evidence, identify missing items and assemble cases using your approved requirements, but it does not establish regulatory eligibility, clear sanctions alerts or replace qualified compliance review. Authorised professionals must assess the evidence, determine applicable obligations and make acceptance, restriction, reporting or release decisions.

Will it connect to our custody platform, blockchain data sources and CRM?+

Connection methods must be assessed against the systems, interfaces, exports and permissions you actually have. No specific custody platform, blockchain data provider, screening service or CRM integration is assumed or promised here. A discovery review should establish feasible data access, update frequency, source reliability, security constraints and whether a controlled manual export is preferable.

How should confidential custody and client information be protected?+

Define permitted data fields, user roles, retention rules and processing arrangements before deployment. Use minimum-necessary access, controlled document submission, appropriate redaction and restricted reviewer queues, with source and activity records where configured. Your security, privacy and legal teams should assess the deployment, including data location and provider terms; the assistant itself does not establish compliance or certification.

How do we evaluate a pilot without assuming savings or guaranteed results?+

Start with one bounded workflow and record a baseline for handling time, queue age, missing evidence, rework or escalation timeliness. Compare pilot performance with that baseline while also reviewing factual accuracy, source traceability and human correction rates. The outcomes on this page are intended improvement measures, not verified results or guarantees; acceptance criteria and any expansion should be approved by the process owner.
