Cross-Chain MPC Custody Network Design

We architect and implement secure, non-custodial custody networks using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) for distributed key management and signing across multiple blockchain ecosystems.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity and Rust smart contracts with formal verification and comprehensive audit readiness. Our code follows OpenZeppelin standards and includes gas optimization reports.

  • Custom Logic: DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAO governance, and enterprise automation.
  • Security First: Multi-signature deployment, upgradeable proxy patterns, and automated vulnerability scanning.
  • Full Lifecycle: Development, testing (Hardhat/Foundry), deployment, and on-chain monitoring.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and maintainable codebase in 2-4 weeks for an MVP. We ensure your contracts are built for scale from day one.

Core Architectural Components We Deliver

We design and implement the core infrastructure for your cross-chain custody network, ensuring security, scalability, and seamless interoperability from day one.

01

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Node Infrastructure

Deploy a distributed network of MPC nodes using industry-standard libraries (GG20/GG18) for threshold signature generation. We implement geographic distribution, automated key refresh, and Byzantine fault tolerance to eliminate single points of failure.

02

Cross-Chain Message Router & Relayer

A robust message-passing layer supporting protocols like Axelar, LayerZero, and Wormhole. Our system handles gas management, nonce tracking, and automatic retries for guaranteed cross-chain transaction finality.

Policy Engine & Transaction Orchestrator

A rules-based engine that enforces governance policies (multi-sig approvals, spending limits, destination whitelists) and atomically sequences multi-chain operations into a single, auditable workflow.

Compliance Checks
04

Real-Time Monitoring & Alerting Dashboard

A centralized observability platform providing live views of node health, transaction status across all chains, security event logs, and configurable alerts for anomalies or policy violations.

Secure Key Management Lifecycle

End-to-end management of cryptographic key material, including secure generation, distributed storage, periodic rotation, and emergency revocation procedures, all without exposing private keys.

Business Outcomes of a Distributed MPC Network

Our multi-party computation (MPC) network design delivers tangible operational and financial results, moving beyond theoretical security to measurable business advantage.

01

Eliminate Single Points of Failure

Distribute signing authority across multiple, geographically separate nodes. No single entity holds a complete private key, removing the risk of catastrophic loss from a single breach or insider threat.

> 3
Geographic Regions
02

Reduce Operational Overhead by 70%

Automate key generation, rotation, and transaction signing workflows. Replace manual, error-prone processes with programmable policies, freeing your team from daily key management tasks.

03

Achieve Regulatory & Audit Readiness

Built-in, immutable audit trails for all key operations and transaction signatures. Generate compliance reports on-demand, meeting requirements for SOC 2, GDPR, and financial regulators.

Enable Sub-Second Cross-Chain Settlement

MPC nodes co-sign transactions in parallel across supported chains (EVM, Solana, Cosmos). Achieve near-instant atomic composability for your cross-chain applications.

Slash Insurance & Security Costs

Demonstrate provable security through distributed key management. Our architecture typically reduces custody insurance premiums by 40-60% compared to traditional multisig or hardware-based solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions on MPC Custody Networks

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and founders ask when evaluating a cross-chain MPC custody solution.

A standard deployment for a production-ready, cross-chain MPC custody network takes 4-8 weeks. This includes the architecture design, smart contract development, key management system integration, and security audit preparation. For more complex integrations with existing treasury systems or novel signing schemes, timelines extend to 10-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
