What if the Squads app goes down

The Squads Backup Kit ensures you can always access your assets through multiple options

Squads Backup Kit

In the unlikely event that the Squads app would be unavailable for a long period, we have put in place multiple options to allow users to access their assets:

This is an open-source interface that allows you to interact with the Squads program where your assets sit. You can fork it and host it locally to access your Squads account(s) and then, for instance, withdraw your assets.

The Squads minimal UI can be found on our official GitHub:

Note that this UI primarily focuses on emergency actions (e.g. withdrawing funds or programs) in case the Squads main app is inaccessible for too long. We do not encourage using it as your main app as it is not optimized and far from the experience you get on app.squads.so.

Another way to interact with your Squads account(s) is through the Command-line interface (CLI) we have built. The Squads CLI has exactly the same wallet support as the Solana CLI, which means it supports file system wallets as well as Ledger hardware wallets.

This CLI can be used from any computer terminal to access your assets stored on Squads.

For a walk through on how to install and use the Squads CLI, follow this guide:

Additionally, we also have an SDK for those ready to build their own simple UI to interact with the Squads program and access their assets that way rather than via the official Squads app.

The Squads SDK can be found here:

Interacting with an SDK requires developer knowledge and is best suited for technical users. If you have limited technical skills or need quick access to your assets, we recommend using the Squads minimal UI or the CLI tool

Remember, all your assets are stored in the Squads multisig program onchain, and Squads Labs never has control over your funds nor can access them.

In the unlikely event that Squads Labs ceases operations or the main UI becomes inaccessible, your assets remain secure. Only you have the authority to move them using your private key/wallet.
