Custody Solutions for the Modern Enterprise

Beyond Multi-Sig

Multi-signature wallets represented the gold standard for institutional digital asset custody for years. But as treasuries have grown, the limitations have become apparent.

The MPC Advantage

Rather than storing keys and bringing them together to sign, MPC protocols:

  • Generate key shares that never exist as complete private keys
  • Compute signatures collaboratively
  • Enable flexible governance through programmable signing policies
