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
Enterprise Requirements
| Requirement | Multi-Sig | MPC |
|---|---|---|
| Single point of failure | Possible | Eliminated |
| Key rotation | Manual | Seamless |
| Governance flexibility | Limited | Programmable |
| Recovery | Complex | Built-in |
The Bottom Line
For corporate treasuries managing significant holdings, MPC migration is no longer a question of if but when.
