+Liana is a simple Bitcoin wallet. Simular to other Bitcoin wallets, you have a primary private key which can spend bitcoin from the wallet immediately. Additionally, unlike other wallets, Liana lets you specify additional recovery keys which can only transact after the wallet has been inactive for some time.
 
-We refer to these as the primary spending path (always accessible) and the recovery path (only
-available after some time of inactivity). You may have more than one key in either the primary or

You may use more than one key in either the primary or recovery paths (multisig). You may also have more than one recovery path.
