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.
