Institutional MPC Custody Architecture

Design and implement secure, scalable custody systems using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to eliminate single points of failure for private keys, tailored for regulated financial institutions managing tokenized assets.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
FULL-STACK BUILD

Custom Blockchain Development

End-to-end blockchain application development from architecture to deployment.

We architect and build production-ready dApps, protocols, and enterprise solutions on leading networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Our full-cycle development delivers secure, scalable applications tailored to your specific business logic.

From a 2-week MVP to a full-scale mainnet launch, we manage the entire lifecycle with 99.9% uptime SLAs and comprehensive post-deployment support.

  • Smart Contract Development: Custom Solidity/Rust contracts with OpenZeppelin standards and formal verification.
  • Full-Stack dApp Builds: Integrated frontends (React/Next.js) with secure wallet connectivity and backend indexers.
  • Protocol & DeFi Systems: DEXs, lending platforms, and cross-chain bridges with sub-second finality.
  • Enterprise Integration: Secure APIs and middleware for connecting legacy systems to blockchain networks.

Architectural Comparison

MPC Custody vs. Traditional Alternatives

A technical breakdown of how our institutional MPC custody architecture compares to legacy solutions on key operational and security dimensions.

Architecture & SecurityMulti-Party Computation (MPC)Hardware Security Modules (HSM)Multi-Signature Wallets

Key Management

Distributed key shards, no single point of failure

Centralized key in a single HSM appliance

Multiple private keys held by individuals/devices

Transaction Signing

Non-interactive or threshold signing; no key reconstruction

Single device signs with the complete private key

Requires multiple parties to sign sequentially

Operational Risk

Low. Eliminates single points of compromise and insider threats.

High. Reliant on physical security and a single device's integrity.

Medium. Dependent on secure key storage across multiple points.

Developer Experience

Programmable policies, API-driven, integrates with CI/CD

Hardware-bound, complex provisioning, limited automation

Manual coordination, poor scalability for automated systems

Recovery & Redundancy

Built-in with secure shard backup; no seed phrase

Dependent on hardware duplication and secure backup of the HSM

Dependent on individual key backup procedures (e.g., seed phrases)

Auditability

Full cryptographic proof of signing ceremony and policy compliance

Limited to device logs; opaque internal signing process

On-chain visibility of signers, but off-chain process is opaque

Time to Implementation

4-8 weeks with our SDK and managed service

3-6 months for procurement, setup, and integration

2-4 weeks for basic setup, but scales poorly

Typical Annual TCO

$50K - $150K (managed service)

$200K+ (CapEx + dedicated team)

$25K - $75K (gas fees + operational overhead)

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built to your exact specifications and deployed on-chain.

We architect and deploy production-grade Solidity and Rust smart contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems. Every contract is built with OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes rigorous security audits before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom Token Contracts: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke tokenomics.
  • DeFi & DAO Modules: Automated market makers, staking pools, governance systems, and multi-sig vaults.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviewed for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40%.

We deliver fully documented, audited source code and a 2-week MVP deployment timeline for standard contracts.

Technical & Operational Details

Frequently Asked Questions on MPC Custody

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions CTOs and security leads ask when evaluating institutional-grade MPC custody solutions.

A standard deployment for a multi-signature MPC wallet with core asset support (ETH, BTC, USDC) takes 3-4 weeks from kickoff to production. Complex integrations with DeFi protocols, custom transaction policies, or support for 10+ obscure tokens can extend this to 6-8 weeks. Our phased delivery includes a 1-week design review, 2-3 weeks of core development and testing, and a final week for security audit review and production handoff.
