High security Swiss data centres
To store sensitive key material, we use Swiss data centres that meet industry leading standards for critical infrastructure (such as Tier IV by the Uptime Institute) for fault tolerance, security and redundancy.
MPC technology
Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is a type of cryptographic technology that removes the single point of failure possible with a private key. By allowing multiple parties to securely sign transactions without any one party being able to see the inputs of the others, MPC adds an additional layer of security.
