Vault Key Management & Recovery Service

Design and implement secure, user-friendly systems for generating, storing, rotating, and recovering encryption keys for decentralized data vaults using multi-party computation (MPC).
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal audits before deployment to EVM or Solana mainnets.

  • Standard & Custom Logic: From ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens to bespoke DeFi protocols and governance systems.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing (Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and post-launch monitoring.
  • Security Guarantee: All contracts undergo multi-stage audits and formal verification to mitigate financial risk.

Deliver a secure, audited, and gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, accelerating your time-to-market while protecting your assets and users.

Core Capabilities of Our Key Management Service

Our Vault service provides the cryptographic foundation for secure, compliant, and resilient blockchain operations. We deliver the core infrastructure that protects your digital assets and user identities.

01

Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration

Private keys are generated, stored, and used exclusively within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs. This eliminates single points of failure and ensures keys never exist in plaintext in memory or on disk.

Certification
Zero Exposure
Key Policy
02

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Wallets

Implement threshold signatures (t-of-n) to decentralize signing authority. Eliminate single points of compromise and enable secure, policy-based transaction approvals without a single private key.

Automated Key Rotation & Lifecycle Management

Enforce cryptographic agility with scheduled and event-driven key rotation. Our system manages the entire lifecycle—generation, activation, archival, and destruction—with full audit trails.

Our Delivery Process: From Architecture to Integration

A structured, four-phase methodology designed for CTOs who need enterprise-grade key security without the operational overhead. We deliver a production-ready, audited system with clear SLAs.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Threat Modeling

We conduct a security-first design review of your application's key flows. This includes defining MPC/HSM requirements, access policies, and recovery mechanisms to meet your specific threat model and compliance needs.

The Infrastructure Decision for Your Digital Assets

Build vs. Buy: Custom MPC vs. Generic Cloud KMS

Choosing the right key management foundation impacts security, developer velocity, and long-term operational cost. This comparison highlights why a purpose-built MPC solution outperforms generic cloud services for Web3 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on how our enterprise-grade key management service works, from deployment to ongoing security.

Our vault is a programmable, non-custodial smart contract system that goes beyond basic multisig. It offers social recovery workflows, time-locked approvals, role-based access control, and automated policy enforcement. Unlike a simple 2-of-3 multisig, our solution provides an audit trail, gas abstraction for users, and seamless integration with your existing dApp UI, making it suitable for both institutional and consumer-facing applications.
