The secure cryptocurrency depository is a secure cryptocurrency escrow and/or a secure cryptocurrency vault. Further, the first party device and/or the second party device is enabled to transfer the available funds/tokens away from the multi-signature address using the second partially signed provisional transaction template and/or the first partially signed provisional transaction template in possession of the first party device and second party device respectively, in case the first party and/or second party private-keys/secrets and/or the hardware tokens are lost/stolen, thereby preventing theft.
