How to Open VaultX Messages (Recipient)
VaultX messages arrive in your Safe inbox when someone sends a drop to one of your Receive Addresses. Decryption happens client-side, and the server never sees the plaintext. This keeps sensitive intake inside your Safe, not on the wire.
Prerequisites
- Authenticated Safe session
- Receive Address created (Sovereign or HighRisk tier)
Step-by-Step: Open a VaultX Message
-
Sign in to your Safe Authenticate using your FIDO2 key or biometric method.
-
Open Messaging Go to the Messaging section in the left-hand menu.
-
Select the Receive Address inbox Messages are grouped by Receive Address or label. Open the relevant thread.
-
Read and decrypt Messages decrypt automatically in the client. View the subject, body, and any attachments.
-
Save content (optional) Save the message as a note or store attachments in your Safe if needed.
Attachment rules
If the Receive Address disallows attachments, only message content will be present.
Troubleshooting
- No messages appear: confirm the sender used the correct Receive Address.
- Decryption fails: try reloading the app and confirm your Safe is fully authenticated.
- Address disabled: if the address was revoked, new messages will not arrive.
