MPC

I honestly think social recovery + inheritance tooling is gonna become one of the biggest naratives in self custody over the next few years. Right now most setups still rely on: - one seed phrase - one human - one moment of failure That's terrifying if you're holding serious assets long term. I've looked at a bunch of approaches (multisig, MPC, Safe, Argent etc.) and they all improve parts of the problem, but most still don't fully address continuity - like what actually happens if you disappear unexpectedly or your family has zero crypto knowledge. That's why projects focused on programmable inheritance are interesting to me. Ante is one of the few i've seen thinking beyond simple wallet recovery and more about long term digital succession without giving up self custody. Feels like the real solution is probably a mix of smart wallets, social recovery, MPC, delayed recovery mechanism, inheritance logic Becuase "memorize 12 words forever" is not going to scale to mainstream adoption imo.

Zengo’s MPC model also makes sense for onboarding normies because seed phrases scare the hell out of average users 😭 the whole industry is slowly realizing UX friction is a bigger adoption bottleneck than raw crypto tech

Dry_Corgi9590

You're right – seeds are archaic af for normal people. Best path forward imo is multiparty computation (MPC) + social recovery. No single seed to lose or leak. Instead: · 3–5 "guardians" (friends, hardware, or trusted services) · Recover by getting a threshold of approvals · No single point of failure Casa and Zengo already do versions of this. Downside? More complex setup and some trust in guardians. Other approach: hardware + passphrase but sharded geographically. Still relies on a seed though. The real holy grail is biometric + encrypted backup that's useless without you present. But that's a ways off. For now: multisig or MPC > single seed, even if it's less convenient.

I’m curious how this compares to other privacy approaches like zk-proofs or MPC? Feels like FHE is just one path among several.

The private key compromise stat being the largest single category is undersold in most security discussions. The industry obsesses over smart contract audits, formal verification, and bug bounties, which matter, but the actual leading cause of loss is people getting phished, storing keys incorrectly, or getting socially engineered. The structural issue is that key management is a user problem that gets treated as a user responsibility. Protocols can audit their contracts. They can't audit whether their users are storing seed phrases in iCloud notes or responding to fake support DMs. The attack surface scales with adoption but the security education doesn't scale with it. What makes this hard to solve. Hardware wallets help but add friction that most users won't tolerate for everyday transactions. Multisig and social recovery shift the problem but don't eliminate it. MPC wallets distribute key material but introduce new trust assumptions. Every solution has a tradeoff that prevents it from becoming the default. The 2025 numbers being the worst on record despite years of "security improvements" is telling. The exploits are getting larger because the TVL is larger, but the per-dollar risk profile probably hasn't improved much. More money locked means bigger targets. The Kelp DAO bridge exploit being $290M four months into the year suggests 2026 won't be better. Bridges remain high-value targets because they hold concentrated assets and have complex trust assumptions across chains.

The incapacitation problem is real and mostly unsolved in standard multisig. Best approach I\`ve seen: MPC wallets where the key is split into shares rather than having multiple full signers. One share becoming unavailable doesn't brick the setup, and recovery can be triggered through predefined conditions without moving funds to a new adress. Not elegant, but it\`s the closest thing to a real answer right now.

Post is by: UlysApp and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ss36bx/owning_your_wallet_should_be_nonnegotiable_even/ I was thinking today and we have come a long way over the past year, in regards to the platform/wallet options we have as users and traders. One thing has especially stood out to me - owning your wallet is non-negotiable in 2026 and onward. Platforms like Coinbase are great for getting started, but the second something gets flagged, restricted, or you hit a withdrawal limit, you realize you don’t actually have full control. Tons of users have experienced accounts being frozen etc. We used to have to tradeoff convenience vs ownership, but it doesn’t really have to be anymore. With things like key sharding & MPC, your private key isn’t sitting in one place as a single point of failure. It’s split into multiple pieces, so no one party (including the platform) can control it on their own or freeze your account. You get all of the same convenience of a big exchange, while having true ownership and more security. Feels like we’re finally getting to a point where self-custody doesn’t mean sacrificing usability, and that has been much needed imo. Curious if anyone has thoughts on this as it doesn't get talked about much. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MPC wallets are a solid step forward for usability. The biggest win is removing that single point of failure — lose one key shard and you're not wiped out like you would be with a lost seed phrase. The tradeoff is you're trusting the MPC provider's infrastructure and key shard management, so it's worth checking how they handle that before going all-in. For everyday use and onboarding new people though, it's way less intimidating than explaining BIP-39 to someone who just wants to buy their first crypto.

Exactly, we're actually an MPC wallet. Not many people are familiar with MPC yet so we've been trying to educate where we can. MPC also tends to be more secure as well since there isn't one single point of failure.

Onboarding friends is always tricky because most people just want number go up without caring about custody/security. My usual flow Start with basics explain what crypto *is* and why self custody matters (not your keys not your crypto). Help them set up a simple self custodial wallet (MPC wallets are great for beginners who fear losing seed phrases). Only after they’re comfortable introduce exchanges for liquidity/trading. Stress risk management don’t ape in start small learn how transfers work. Honestly 2026 still feels confusing for newcomers but guiding them through one hands-on transaction usually clears 80% of the fear.

BeautifulAuthor9167

MPC wallets are the gold standard now. They offer self-custody without the seed phrase headache.

UlysApp

That's a solid way to handle it. There's also others like coinbase now that are still self-custodial, so I wasn't sure if anyone was going the MPC route yet as it tends to be even easier. Still a pretty new option.

Do you send them to an exchange first or help them set up on a self-custodial wallet? I remember onboarding friends back in 2021 and it was a fairly confusing process for them, but even in 2026 it's still just as confusing with most wallets and exchanges. Typically I always try to introduce them to a self-custodial wallet first as I'm a big believer in "not your keys, not your crypto". But interested to hear what others think. Obviously people have different use-cases and needs but I feel that self-custodial is non-negotiable with MPC being an option now. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Zengo wallet is my favorite. No seed phrase to worry about. From their website... Upgrade to the crypto wallet with no seed phrase vulnerability, powered and secured by MPC (Multi-Party Computation): Technology used by institutions to custody billions of dollars of crypto. Zengo maintains the world’s largest open-source MPC library and holds multiple patents in consumer wallet security innovation.

jclaslie

Also worth noting, they’re leaning into MPC-based security. That’s generally what larger institutions are more comfortable with compared to pure self-custody models that rely on a single recovery phrase.

UlysApp

Definitely a very high likelihood. Hopefully some self-custodial wallets etc..will stick around so using banks isn't the only option. MPC tech makes self-custodial seamless without needing the whole seed phrase process

UlysApp

There are still plenty of ways to make it simple and self-custodial without dealing with multiple confirmation screens when making tx's, needing to bridge, etc..MPC makes this possible now days. I think when I say making it more simple, I mean UX wise. Obviously there will still be plenty of complexity behind the scenes :)

I've seen adverts for this bitcoin bank below it looked interesting but there's a minimum amount I can't remember how much but you can check it out if wealthy Xapo Bank: A fully licensed bank (Gibraltar) that combines traditional banking (USD/EUR/GBP accounts) with Bitcoin custody. They use Multi-Party Computation (MPC) rather than a single private key, distributing key shards in secure, offline, and, in some cases, deep-bunker, geographic locations.

OptimalPlantIntoRock

MPC-TSS dominates institutional custody, individual adoption lags due to operational complexity. For day traders or users with smaller holdings, traditional wallets like MetaMask provide better usability. However, for significant holdings requiring maximum security—like ZenGo users—MPC-TSS makes perfect sense. It's designed for scenarios where security benefits justify added complexity.

Paxos acquiring Fordefi is a significant institutional play that most retail investors might miss. Fordefi's MPC wallet infrastructure combined with Paxos's regulatory compliant stablecoins creates a powerful institutional-grade solution. What's actually interesting here is how this positions Paxos in the institutional tokenization race. While retail focuses on spot ETFs, institutions are quietly building infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets. Fordefi's security architecture addresses a major institutional concern - secure custody and transaction signing. For context: institutional adoption requires different infrastructure than retail. They need permissions, multi-sig approval flows, and integration with existing treasury systems. Fordefi specializes in

That’s exactly the fascinating part — as ZK, FHE, and MPC mature, the limitation stops being computational and becomes philosophical. Once cryptography is strong enough to hide everything by default, the real question becomes: What should remain visible? And to whom? And under what social context? In other words, when the technology finally makes perfect invisibility possible, human societies will have to re-decide their own gradients of visibility. That’s where things get really interesting. Because markets where no one sees the order books… still need some actors to see something: • the counterparty • the auditor • the regulator • or the social relationship itself Otherwise we lose the relational aspect of economic life. So I don’t think the future debate will be “transparent vs. hidden.” It will be: “How much visibility does a human relationship require — and how much can technology gracefully step out of the way?” That feels like the real frontier to me.

Your funds are only safe if execution uses your keys, allowlisted contracts, full simulation, and burner wallets for risky tasks. What I’d want OP to confirm: non-custodial by default (no keys on their servers), every tx simulated and decoded before you sign (contract, function, max spend, approvals), no infinite approvals, protocol/contract allowlists, spending caps, and one-click burner wallet creation with auto-revoke after tasks. Always require a wallet pop-up to sign (hardware wallet support), with optional Safe multisig or scoped/time-limited session keys for small actions. 2FA/passkeys should protect the account, but the account must never be able to sign on-chain-so even if email gets jacked, funds can’t move without your wallet. What I do: Fireblocks MPC for team wallets, Safe for multisig, and DreamFactory to lock down internal API calls (RBAC/OAuth) between bots and signing services. Also: use a hardware wallet, spin a fresh address per airdrop, pre-fund small, and use [revoke.cash](http://revoke.cash) to clean approvals. Bottom line: keep keys client-side, use burner wallets and simulations, and require explicit wallet confirmation for every spend.

So instead of managing a seed I need to properly manage my devices. what if I get 2 of 3 of my devices get stolen or fall down a well or whatever. and dont all devices need to be online for TSS/MPC to work? having mutliple devices always online does not seem like a step forward. How is DKLS23 implemented? There is real evidence that early DKLS23 implementations had serious flaws. Trail of Bits audited one of the early DKLS23 libraries (Silent Shard) and found key destruction attack risks and mishandling of selective abort attacks. They found ~15 issues, 2 of them high severity (nonce reuse leading to key destruction) among others. really interested in these answers.

The “private key” never exist anywhere, anytime. This is the magic if MPC-TSS-DKLS!

Vultisig

Monero is not supported yet! And it is not SSS. Actually, Vultisig is much more secure than SSS! In SSS, the private key is split into multiple parts. Vultisig uses MPC technology, where the private key never even exists!

Alek_sander

For the modular setups (2-of-3, 3-of-4, etc.), how easy will it be for non-technical users? And has your MPC/DKLS implementation been independently audited yet? If so, can you share reports, and if not, when.

derpylt

I get your point, it definitely is an MPC/TSS wallet, I never meant otherwise. Small correction though: with Vultisig there isn’t a private key that’s generated first and then split up. The TSS protocol creates the shares directly across devices, so the full key never exists on any one device or server, and it isn’t reconstructed during signing. The math still produces valid Bitcoin signatures, just without a single master key sitting somewhere vulnerable. That’s the real distinction. And yeah, TSS/MPC is still evolving, which is why being open source and audited is so important

ElderMight

I don't think you fully understand how this works or have researched this enough. >The Threshold Signature Scheme is a relatively new area within the field of **Multi-Party Computation**. As such, advancements in security and efficiency are ongoing and continuously evolving. https://docs.vultisig.com/other/security You said it's not an MPC wallet when in fact it is according to the documentation. >the private key literally never exists or gets reconstructed anywhere This is not true. A private key DOES exist and it's generated when you first set up your wallet. The shares are derived from the key and separated into different devices. You cannot interact with the bitcoin network without a private key. It's a fundamental component of the network.

Zanena001

That's a bit disappointing to be fair. NMC was supposed to be your moat, but it honestly sounded too good to be true. Your current approach is still interesting but I'm not sure how much value it adds to the scene, all the existing PETs have their limitations and tradeoffs, so for projects whose requirements aren't really satisfied by either of them, there is no way other than to wait for a cryptographic breakthrough to happen. TEEs are vulnerable and therefore not 100% reliable, MPC is slow and require internode communication and FHE is still very limited and expensive.

Alex_Nillion

The Blind Computer is a decentralized computing platform that enables "blind computation" where data can be processed without being seen or accessed by anyone. We use advanced cryptographic technologies like multi-party computation (MPC) and trusted execution environments (TEEs) to compute on data while keeping it completely private. The core components we have deployed from our roadmap so far are: \- nilDB: Data storage layer for secure data storage⁠⁠​ \- nilAI: AI computation layer for private AI processing⁠⁠​ \- nilCC: General compute layer running in trusted execution environments⁠⁠​ The vision is for the Blind Computer to become the internet's foundational layer for all private data,⁠⁠ enabling applications like personalized AI, medical analytics, and secure financial services while preserving complete data privacy throughout processing.

XapoBank

That’s a fair question and one we hear often. The phrase *“not your keys, not your coins”* is rooted in an important truth: if you self-custody Bitcoin, you hold the private keys directly, which gives you full control. At Xapo, we serve Bitcoiners who want both: control of their long-term wealth **and** the benefits of a regulated bank account. We’re unique in being a licensed private bank **and** a regulated Bitcoin custodian (via Xapo VASP), meaning your USD sits in the banking system while your Bitcoin is safeguarded using world-class infrastructure, including MPC, deep-cold vaults in multiple jurisdictions, and armed physical security. Self-custody is a great option for many, but for others, the peace of mind of institutional-grade protection and the ability to use Bitcoin alongside fiat is just as valuable. Our role is to give Bitcoiners that choice.

Alex_Nillion

NMC did not provide the computational effectiveness we were looking for to drive adoption of privacy tech. So we moved away from it and towards technology that allowed the widest computational potential for developers first. Incorporating other PETs (like MPC and FHE) is part of our technical roadmap as these PETs do offer unique strengths & security standards that we want to offer in the future

Zanena001

One of the original selling point of Nillion was a novel approach to blind compute called NMC, which contrarily to standard MPC techniques doesn't require communication between nodes. Is that still a thing? Cause reading the latest docs it appears the project is more like a one stop solution for privacy enhancing technologies, rather than a breakthrough.

Alex_Nillion

ZK is one of several different types of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), and like others, ZK is good at certain types of compute and bad at others. Nillion aims to combine several different types of PETs (like multi-party computation, fully homomorphic encryption, TEEs, etc) to allow developer to work with the security parameters & strengths that they need. We started with TEEs and MPC because they allow for the fullest range of private compute and we'll be expanding our set of PETs in the future. We'd love to hear about what you are building and see how Nillion can help. Send me a DM and I'll connect you to our ecosystem team.

>The private key never exists in Vultisig, the devices just proof the collaborative access to it! https://vultisig.com/how-it-works This means coordinated access to the private key through cryptographic proof - without the private key ever being fully reconstructed on any single device. This is an MPC wallet and you have to trust their word for it that their isn't a copy of the private on their servers.

derpylt

That’s not really how Vultisig works. It never even creates a seed phrase, the key is split from the start and only lives as shares on your devices. There’s no cloud signing, so nothing sits on their servers, and they can’t copy your key. Cold storage is still king, but grouping Vultisig with cloud MPC wallets isn’t accurate.

ElderMight

I don't recommend using this wallet because there is no way to verify how the key shares are generated. Multi-party computation wallets like Vultisig can have insecure implementations too as reported by this security group: https://www.fireblocks.com/press/fireblocks-researchers-uncover-vulnerabilities-impacting-dozens-of-major-wallet-providers/ Most MPC vendors like vultisig sign transactions inside their cloud environment, which is a black box risk. You have no idea what's going on inside it or if they do have a copy of your private key. For maximum security, cold storage is still the way to go.

tldr; Crypto custodians are seeing increased demand for their services as physical 'wrench attacks' on cryptocurrency holders rise. These attacks, involving coercion to steal private keys, have led investors to shift from self-custody to institutional solutions for enhanced security. While cold wallets offer control, they present a single point of failure. Custodians and technologies like multiparty computation (MPC) are being adopted to mitigate risks. Regulatory clarity and public awareness are also influencing this trend, as the crypto industry seeks to address safety concerns and evolve toward maturity. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Totally fair point, counterparty risk is something every Bitcoiner should think carefully about. At Xapo Bank, we take that seriously. The core difference is that we *don’t lend out your Bitcoin,* ever. As mentioned It's held in our institutional-grade custody environment, protected by Multi-Party Computation (MPC), segregated governance, and strict transaction policies. Your collateral stays untouched and securely vaulted throughout the loan term. Our loans are funded using **our own Bitcoin treasury**, built over a decade since we first launched in 2013. So you’re not depending on some unknown borrower repaying their loan; there’s no third-party lending cycle involved. And because we’re licensed and regulated under Gibraltar’s Moneylending Act, everything sits within a legal and audited structure, not a black box. That said, every financial relationship includes some level of trust. But our model is specifically designed to minimise risk exposure *without compromising custody or control*.

Sorry to hear that. For those interested, ika will launch soon, a novel MPC network to control different netowork wallets form sui control plane. walrus + seal allows you to store large blobs online with programmable encryption. Once zkat is implemented, you can build any login procedure using groth16 zk proofs. Pretty cool what is developing out there

Figure Markets is great, app is super beginner friendly. Currently 0 fee trading on (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, USDC, LINK, UNI, HASH) and self-custody (MPC, user holds keys)

Love how the Taihuttu family turned their crypto security into a global treasure hunt multi-sig and MPC aren’t just for whales anymore, they’re becoming the new baseline.

tldr; The 'Bitcoin Family,' known for their nomadic lifestyle and all-in bet on bitcoin, has revamped their security measures following a rise in kidnappings targeting cryptocurrency holders. They now use a decentralized storage system, splitting their 24-word seed phrase into encrypted fragments hidden across four continents. The family has abandoned hardware wallets due to security concerns and relies on blockchain-based encryption and steel plates for cold storage. They also use multi-signature and MPC technology to enhance security and reduce risks. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

That's a really important question, especially now. Look, the risks with CEXs are real, and as a newer exchange, we knew from day one that [XBO.com](http://XBO.com) had to be absolutely rock-solid on security to earn anyone's trust. First, we didn't try to build everything from scratch or cut corners. We went straight for best-in-class partners. Our core custody uses Fireblocks for their MPC wallet technology – meaning your assets aren't sitting with a single point of failure. We've layered that with tech from Ledger, and for KYC/AML and transaction monitoring, we work with leaders like Sumsub and Chainalysis.

Kinda.. it’s similar to the vault in the retail version but with option of video call approval option. What you describe is similar to what they do for Bitcoin, but not every asset, as in some cases they are using MPC albeit with some shards offline

Yes, but with challenges. Why? Bridges solve a real problem—moving assets across chains seamlessly. Multi-chain ecosystems are growing, making interoperability essential. Security remains a big issue (hacks, exploits), but better tech (ZK, MPC) is improving safety. Some chains aim to eliminate bridges (e.g., Cosmos, Polkadot), but not all projects can move to one ecosystem. Liquidity, speed, and security will decide which bridges last.

No, you can do all of this using MPC, which Gridlock has already done.

Any excess collateral can be moved, sold or borrowed against. Further, your coins sit in your decentralized multi-party computation (MPC) wallet. The exchange doesn't hold your coins. Decentralized MPC is more resistant to hacking, prevents key loss and allows you the speed and scope across L1s of a centralized exchange without centralized custody.

Lots to answer here... re: international, we are likely going to Australia next, then Europe. re: the loan - you pay principal and interest each month - it's like a mortgage for a house, but the asset you are paying off is BTC. re: transfering BTC - today your BTC sits at Anchorage. Soon, your BTC sits in your decentralized MPC wallet with a security entitlement - similar to how you self custody on the Figure Markets exchanges today.

MikeCagney

Per above, while we have the ability to liquidate, today we don't hold the crypto (it's at Anchorage) and soon it sits in the same decentralized multi-party-computation (MPC) wallet we use for the exchange, where it is your wallet and we have a security entitlement on the crypto.
