After 3 cancelled transactions or 1 year with no transactions (keys are lost), the wallet sends all its coins to another address (possibly in some custodial account, arbitration code, or a friend's account).

Usage -- keep 90% of money in safe wallet, and 10% in hot wallet to do stuff.

Your crypto is actually not stored in your wallet. It is stored on the blockchain. Having a wallet that is slow to figure out the state of the blockchain doesn't make your wallet any safer. Your crypto transactions move at the speed of the blockchain whether you want them to or not.

The way to ensure you're not hacked or lose your keys/mnemonics is to properly back them up and also utilize hardware wallets.

There's no possibility of slowing down the blockchain for individual users.
