MPC (Multi‑Party Computation)
Security
Cryptography for shared key operations.
MPC lets several parties compute a signature without sharing their secret parts. It improves resilience against single key compromise. Use audited implementations and clear recovery steps.
Frequently asked questions
How does MPC differ from multisig?
MPC computes one signature with shares, while multisig collects multiple signatures. UX and trust models differ.Where is MPC used?
Institutional custody, wallets, and systems that need key sharing without revealing private parts.What are the tradeoffs?
Complexity and implementation risk. Choose audited providers and understand recovery processes.
