While I really like Unchained as a company, this just seems like unnecessary rent-seeking for a service that requires little upkeep.
Why are they requiring their users to pay rent just for Unchained to hold a string of numbers? Why does that cost $250/year? What actual service are they providing for that much money?
I totally agree, that’s my struggle! What do you plan to do?

I think a good self-custody multisig setup is for me. I won't be using any third parties personally but I think the future of third-party custody is going to be joint custody and use the custodian of the third key to act as a coordinator for batching transactions.
If Unchained was doing something like that, it makes sense but afaik, they just hold a key for you.
