LONDON, United Kingdom, October 9th, 2024/Chainwire/--Stablecoin Standard, the industry body for stablecoin issuers globally, today announced that their recently unveiled set of global standards for stablecoin issuers have been endorsed by some of the leading stablecoin issuers and ecosystem participants in the industry. Among those who have endorsed are Archblock, BiLira, Bitstamp, GMO-Z.com Trust Company (‘GMO Trust’), JST Digital, Fireblocks, Solana Foundation, StraitsX and Zodia Markets, signaling a new era of cooperation and standardization within the stablecoin industry. The standards, announced by Beth Haddock, Global Policy Lead at Stablecoin Standard, at the Annual Flagship Event in Singapore, were designed to promote operational resilience, transparency and consistent issuer commitments globally. Stablecoin Standard’s Policy Working Group created the high-level standards that are both general and actionable, while being sensitive to the innovation in the market. Beth Haddock, Global Policy Lead at Stablecoin Standard, commented on the endorsements: "Their endorsement not only validates the rigor of our proposed framework but also underscores the importance of creating a stable, transparent, and resilient environment for digital currencies. This milestone, following discussions at our annual meeting, sets a strong foundation for the continued evolution of the ecosystem.” The endorsement of the standards lays the groundwork for a stablecoin ecosystem that prioritizes transparency, security and consumer protection. With increased scrutiny from regulators and growing demand for digital assets, unified standards can provide clarity and assurance to both industry participants and the public. Stablecoin Standard’s new framework aims to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins by fostering greater confidence among consumers, regulators, and traditional financial institutions. Ramy Soliman, Co-Founder of Stablecoin Standard, commented on the endorsements: “The endorsement of our global standards by leading stablecoin issuers such as, BiLira and ecosystem participants, including industry leaders like Solana, Zodia Markets and JST Digital, is a vital step toward establishing a unified, trusted framework for the entire sector. As stablecoins continue to redefine the future of digital payments, these standards will provide the foundation for long-term growth, transparency, and security. This collective commitment—solidified during discussions at our annual meeting—not only underscores the industry’s dedication to fostering innovation but also demonstrates a concerted effort to align with evolving regulatory expectations and build the consumer trust essential for stablecoins to thrive globally.” Stablecoin Standard and its endorsing members plan to continue refining these standards for implementation with the goal of achieving industry-wide adherence by Q4 2025. Quotes from Endorsers: Sinan Koç, Co-founder and CEO of BiLira, commented on their endorsement, “As a stablecoin issuer, BiLira has always prioritized transparency, security, and adherence to high standards, which is why we are proud to endorse the Stablecoin Standard’s newly introduced set of global standards. TRYB is governed with a commitment to uphold these principles, which we believe are essential for fostering trust and stability in the rapidly evolving digital asset space. We support this initiative as a significant step towards a more resilient and unified stablecoin ecosystem.” Ran Goldi, SVP Payments and Network at Fireblocks, commented on their endorsement, "With more than a dozen stablecoins issued on Fireblocks, we strongly believe standards are the right path for our ecosystem with regard to interoperability and reaching the holy grail of instant liquidity any time, anywhere. SCS is taking a big, bold step, and we proudly endorse and stand with them on this journey.” Kenny Chan, Head of StraitsX, commented on their endorsement, “As one of the leading regulated stablecoin issuers in Asia, StraitsX is committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency and operational resilience. We are proud to support the Stablecoin Standard’s newly introduced global standards, which will help build greater trust in the stablecoin ecosystem and ensure that digital currencies can be securely and seamlessly adopted by businesses and consumers worldwide.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, August 9th, 2024/Chainwire/--Online poker site CoinPoker has released a proof of reserves (PoR) report showing that user deposits are covered 1:1 in cold wallets, visible on the blockchain, alongside additional reserves in hot wallets to process instant withdrawals. Praising the move by the crypto-based poker site to increase transparency, former Austrian footballer and poker professional Mario Mosböck has partnered with the site as a new official ambassador, alongside British pro Patrick Leonard. In an X post, Mario Mosböck stated the pair’s ‘mission is to guide the new leadership group to build the world’s best online poker site.’ Users can read CoinPoker’s proof of reserves report here. Building A Top Online Poker Site With Cryptocurrency Founded in 2017, CoinPoker is a relatively new crypto poker room and casino, but increasingly ranked among the top online poker sites by the likes of Card Player Magazine, PokerScout and Techopedia. Unlike conventional internet poker sites that use fiat currency, on CoinPoker players bet with Tether (USDT) and the site is able to take advantage of the blockchain to show user funds are safe and segregated. Online poker was rocked by the Full Tilt Poker scandal in 2011, in which user funds were co-mingled with operating funds, and the company went insolvent in the industry’s ‘Black Friday’. Many top poker sites increasingly accept cryptocurrencies as a deposit method, but CoinPoker is among a small and growing contingent to go ‘all in’ and embrace it for all actions at the poker table. Players can deposit USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Binance Coin or its own native token CHP which unlocks 33% rakeback for holders. For added security, CoinPoker also makes use of Fireblocks vaults and a decentralized RNG (random number generator) software that players can verify the randomness of after every hand, utilizing Ethereum’s Keccak-256 algorithm. CoinPoker Sign Mario Mosböck, Patrick ‘Pads’ Leonard 28 year old Mario Mosböck, who played as a forward for Austrian Football club Wiener Neustädter SC, recently made a name for himself on the live and online poker scene. He now has over $11.7 million in recorded live tournament earnings, including a first place finish at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju for $1.1 million, and a runner-up finish at the 2023 WPT Big One for One Drop for $4.6 million. Mario players under the screenname ‘livinmydream’ on CoinPoker, often seen in high stakes battles in $25/$50 PLO cash games and higher. Patrick Leonard is a former PartyPoker ambassador and currently ranked 38th on the England all time money list by the Hendon Mob poker database. His total live earnings exceed $3.1 million - including a WSOP bracelet win - and his online earnings of over $19.2 million have seen the 35 year old often rated among the best online MTT players in the world. https://x.com/padspoker/status/1821575144504172892 Also a highly regarded poker coach, Patrick mentors mid stakes players to improve their games, with some of the grinders under his wing going on to win EPT, WCOOP and SCOOP events. He describes his goal at CoinPoker to help ‘create the safest and best online poker room in the world’ and worked alongside the site to produce its proof of reserves report. Proof of Reserves on the Blockchain On its PoR report, CoinPoker writes: ‘CoinPoker prioritizes customer security and peace of mind. Our operations are safeguarded by a Curaçao eGaming License, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards. We demonstrate our financial integrity through Proof of Reserves, holding sufficient funds to cover all user assets. Proof of Reserves refers to the assets we hold in custody for users when they deposit funds into their accounts.
Here we provide proof that CoinPoker has funds held in reserve to cover all of our users' assets 1:1, as well as some additional reserves. It's important to note that this sum of funds refers only to users' funds. CoinPoker's corporate holdings, which are stored in wallets completely separately, are not factored into the proof of reserves calculations.’ At this time, CoinPoker customer deposits total approximately $16 million, and the total assets held in reserve to cover those is just under $16.75 million, equal to 105% of deposits. The exact amount of player deposits is updated dynamically every few minutes on the coinpoker.com website. Links are provided to view those funds on the blockchain via etherscan.io, blockchain.com, bscscan.com, and other crypto tracking sites depending on the token. The majority of funds are held in cold storage for security, with some in hot wallets to process instant withdrawals - players can deposit and withdraw funds within minutes via a MetaMask wallet or a crypto exchange account. To celebrate releasing the report, CoinPoker also announced an exclusive promotion for players to gain free entry into the upcoming $40k GTD Sunday Special tournament, on the company's Instagram and other socials. About CoinPoker Licensed in Curaçao, CoinPoker is available for free download on Windows and Android devices, hosting No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and other game types across real money cash game and tournament formats. New players earn a 150% up to 2000 USDT matching bonus on their first deposit, and holders of the site’s native cryptocurrency CHP earn 33% rakeback on their play.

Bitcoin investors now have new options to earn yield on their holdings through Merlin Chain, a Layer 2 blockchain protocol built for Bitcoin. The platform's proof-of-stake consensus allows users to stake wrapped bitcoin (M-BTC) and earn staking rewards, similar to how Ethereum users can stake ether. After bridging BTC to the Merlin network, users lock it on Layer 1 and receive M-BTC, which can then be staked. The staked M-BTC generates rewards akin to staked ether (stETH) on Ethereum. From there, Merlin provides integrations with leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols for lending, borrowing, supplying liquidity, and accessing derivatives markets. Everyone knows bitcoin has been one of the best performing assets over the past decade, but holders have missed out on yields that other ecosystems provide. said Jeff, founder of Merlin Chain. In addition to staking, Merlin allows users to supply M-BTC as liquidity to earn yields, explore lending and borrowing markets using BTC as capital, and bridge assets to other Bitcoin Layer 2 networks like Linea. The platform has seen significant activity, with over $13 billion worth of BTC bridged to and from the network in the past 45 days alone. While Bitcoin's security and scarcity are valuable traits, the lack of incentives beyond price appreciation has been a drawback compared to blockchains enabling DeFi applications. Merlin Chain aims to bring the mature DeFi ecosystem of Ethereum to Bitcoin by unlocking similar use cases powered by BTC. The platform has partnered with major crypto custodians and institutions like Fireblocks, Cobo, Ceffu, and Bitmain's Antalpha to bolster security and decentralize its validator set. However, some analysts caution that layering additional protocols and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin may introduce new risks and complexities. One way to understand Merlin Chain is to think of it as a special "money market" that allows Bitcoin holders to deposit and earn a return on their BTC, similar to a bank account earning interest. However, instead of a traditional bank, it is a decentralized protocol utilizing blockchain technology and crypto-native financial instruments. Just as one could deposit dollars into a bank's savings account, Merlin lets users deposit ("bridge") their BTC and earn rewards through staking and DeFi activities. The key difference is that Merlin operates without any central authority controlling user funds. Final Thoughts Merlin Chain represents an innovative effort to enhance Bitcoin's functionality and utility by integrating DeFi opportunities that have largely been limited to other blockchain ecosystems until now. As the crypto ecosystem expands, platforms bridging established assets like BTC to new financial services could gain traction among investors seeking yield. However, introducing additional layers and smart contracts does create new potential risks. Only time will tell if projects like Merlin can execute on their vision of bringing DeFi to Bitcoin in a secure, decentralized manner that aligns with the core tenets of Bitcoin itself. For long-term Bitcoin investors accustomed to a "hodl" mentality, the ability to earn yields on their holdings is an attractive proposition that Merlin aims to fulfill. But they will need to weigh the rewards against the inherent risks and complexities. Nonetheless, Merlin is pioneering an intriguing new intersection of Bitcoin and DeFi. Don’t forget to like and share the story! Vested Interest Disclosure: This author is an independent contributor publishing via our business blogging program. HackerNoon has reviewed the report for quality, but the claims herein belong to the author. #DYOR.

Final Thoughts Merlin Chain represents an innovative effort to enhance Bitcoin's functionality and utility by integrating DeFi opportunities that have largely been limited to other blockchain ecosystems until now. As the crypto ecosystem expands, platforms bridging established assets like BTC to new financial services could gain traction among investors seeking yield. However, introducing additional layers and smart contracts does create new potential risks. Only time will tell if projects like Merlin can execute on their vision of bringing DeFi to Bitcoin in a secure, decentralized manner that aligns with the core tenets of Bitcoin itself. For long-term Bitcoin investors accustomed to a "hodl" mentality, the ability to earn yields on their holdings is an attractive proposition that Merlin aims to fulfill. But they will need to weigh the rewards against the inherent risks and complexities. Nonetheless, Merlin is pioneering an intriguing new intersection of Bitcoin and DeFi.

Barely a month ago, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) issued a that ended a two-year crackdown on cryptocurrency within the country’s banking sector, raising the hopes and aspirations of its vibrant crypto community. circular For two years, the repressive CBN ban on cryptocurrencies and digital assets shut the doors in the face of potential investors and robbed the West African country of millions of dollars in web3 funding. While the CBN ban lasted, the rest of the world, however, acknowledged how Nigeria still maintained its position in the crypto race, setting a record as one of the world’s biggest destinations for crypto investments, especially as the biggest crypto market in Africa. In 2023, ranked Nigeria as the 7th country with the highest number of crypto holders in the world boasting a large trading database. In other words, a little over 22 million people own cryptocurrencies in the country. Binance The effects of the prolonged ban sapped the enthusiasm of crypto investors who were eyeing the Nigeria booming market, and it was in the heat of the moment that some of its homegrown crypto companies like Patricia left the country, while other less known companies went out of business altogether. Now that the ominous ban on cryptocurrency has been lifted by the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), how is Nigeria making headway in turning its losses to gains and repositioning itself for the next crypto bull run? A New Era Beckons The new CBN circular that ended the two-year ban reversed the prohibition that was placed on the country’s Money Deposit Banks(DMBs). Prior to the ban in 2021, local DMBs were directly involved in the crypto services by serving as the payment gateway for crypto traders on various exchanges. The latest CBN circular, however, now allows them to deal directly with Virtual Assets Service Providers (VASP) in a manner that is consistent with due diligence and crypto compliance. As a result of this, web3 companies like Agile Dynamics, Blockstation, and FireBlocks have entered the Nigerian market, with a considerable interest and investment in the tokenization of Real World Assets(RWA) in the country. Tokenization of Real World Asset(RWA): Nigeria’s Biggest Web3 Opportunity Dubai-based web3 consulting company Agile Dynamics Tech recently announced the signing of Letter of Intent (LOIs) and partnership agreements with Nigeria and two other African countries, signaling its interest in entering the country’s emerging crypto market. "These agreements represent a significant step forward in our mission to foster meaningful change through technology and strategic partnerships," said Paul Lalovich, cofounder of Agile Dynamics tech. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Nigeria, South Sudan, and Mali in leveraging digital solutions to drive economic development and strengthen their positions in the global market." “The signed LOIs and partnership agreements exemplify Agile Dynamics tech's commitment to promoting technological innovation and progress in the mining and minerals sector across diverse international landscapes. By facilitating the tokenization of Real World Assets and securing Direct Foreign Investments, the company aims to catalyze sustainable growth and prosperity in these regions”. Nigeria’s SEC Says YES to Innovation Since the CBN ban was lifted in December 2023, Nigeria’s crypto community has come to terms with the fact that cryptocurrencies are no longer banned in the country, and the government is willing to use this medium to usher in technological innovation and economic growth. In a groundbreaking move, Nigeria's Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC Nigeria) authorized the National Association of Securities Dealers(NASD plc) to launch the Digital Securities Platform (N-DSP), an electronic platform where cryptocurrencies and other digital assets can be listed and offered to the investing public. When it is launched, the Digital Securities Platform (N-DSP) is going to be the first Over-The-Counter Service (OTC) for cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the country and the first crypto-based digital platform to be regulated by the Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC)in a compliant fashion. Eguarekhide Longe, the Managing Director of the NSDP, in his words, stated that : “Our objective is to empower millions of young crypto investors with access to promising digital assets, ensuring they can confidently purchase in a completely compliant and secure investment environment”. Furthermore, the innovative spirit of Nigeria’s NASD can be seen in its partnership with Blockstation, a leading blockchain development company. This partnership underscores the vision to make Nigeria a leading web3 hub in the world. It also goes to show that blockchain technology can play a vital role in boosting the country’s GDP. Commenting on the recent SEC approval, Blockstation founder and CEO Jai Waterman stated that: “The integration of cutting-edge technology to address the needs of, and captivate the substantially large youthful population, is set to unlock previously untapped markets. We are confident that this platform will play a pivotal role in propelling Nigeria into a new era of economic growth”. Conclusion The 2021 CBN ban on crypto transactions was reversed on the 22nd of December, 2023, through a circular allowing Virtual Assets Service Providers(VASP)to operate in the country. The ban, which lasted for two years, created a roadblock to potential crypto investments and lowered the bar of web3 innovation. However, the new policy is touted to be a game-changer as Nigeria continues to attract foreign investment and as it continues to show its commitment to web3 innovation.

Crypto Crackdown Ends: Nigeria's New Policy Unlocks Web3 Innovation

The introduction of blockchain technology brought a novel way to conduct financial transactions. Absolutely trustless, Bitcoin and other removed the need for users to rely on trusted third parties to send and receive money. However, that is limited to peer-to-peer transactions. decentralized digital assets Centralized institutions, like the ones in traditional finance, mushroomed to offer utility and convenience that otherwise don’t exist with self-custody and peer-to-peer transacting. Today, the Web3 industry comprises several centralized entities operating alongside decentralized implementations to provide users with a burgeoning ecosystem of finance and tokenized use cases. However, that poses critical challenges. The Woes of the Web3 Ecosystem Trusting institutions to hold and transact user value can lead to bad behavior propelled by the selfish motives of those operating said institutions. Due to that, many – institutional and retail – have their assets stolen. Look no further than the to know how things can go very wrong. Web3 users FTX fiasco The story does not change with any other centralized enterprise that looted its customers. Money-hungry founders adopt corrupt governance practices to part clients from their assets. The growing adoption of the asset type creates a massive need for honest governance practices. Decentralized Web3 protocols also face their own threats, with hackers looking to exploit the large amounts of liquidity they manage. Many protocols have fallen victim to cybercriminals attacking their storages and transactions to walk away with tremendous value. Regardless, the issues faced by centralized and decentralized Web3 platforms are beatable. And what is better than using technology to combat the issues faced by technological advancements that are blockchain and digital assets? Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology has become the answer to governance-related issues in the centralized and decentralized parts of the Web3 ecosystem. As MPC-based wallets get integrated into the asset storage infrastructures of centralized and decentralized platforms, the ecosystem is moving towards secure, efficient, and simplified institutional governance. The Governance Dilemma in Web3 The governance problems faced by digital asset institutions are nothing new. In fact, the issue of institutions and enterprises behaving poorly with user assets has remained a recurring theme throughout the existence of digital assets. Not using appropriate storage infrastructure, misappropriating funds for self-serving gains, and scamming clients outright have all been repetitive occurrences in the ecosystem. Poor governance in relation to asset storage and access has been why enterprises lose client assets to hackers or decide to steal the value themselves. Web3 protocols operating on decentralized models face governance-related issues as well. The wallets they use for storing and transacting assets and interacting with their user bases are vulnerable to internal and external threats. Like the large amounts of assets stored by institutions, protocol-related wallets attract bad actors in droves. The holes in asset transactions and storage security can allow hackers to have a field day and steal in the millions. If not obvious, such occurrences are related to how the protocols and institutions manage the assets. Relying on traditional single-signature wallets and even multi-signature (multisig) wallets is neither the safest nor the most efficient way to handle them. Single-signature wallets pose the . Essentially, hackers can access the funds stored in a single-signature wallet if they retrieve their private keys. issue of a single point of failure Despite using cold wallets that store private keys offline securely, over the more vulnerable online hot wallets, the threats posed by social engineering and phishing constantly loom. Bad actors can take advantage of the redundancies present with using cold wallets in the enterprise setting to penetrate through their high-level security. Then, there is always the issue of rogue players within the enterprises, taking advantage of the single point of failure possessed by single-signature wallets. How hard is it for an employee or anyone from the top-level management to misappropriate funds from their company’s wallets? All it takes is access to wallet private keys and the motivation to steal. While the most logical approach to evading such issues is using multisig wallets, they are not without their drawbacks. Multisig wallets require multiple keys in an m-of-n configuration to sign a transaction. That means multiple signatures get broadcasted on-chain, and when the required number of signatures are broadcasted, transactions get initiated from the . However, that poses security vulnerabilities. multisig setup Hackers who have narrowed down on protocol- or institution-related wallets can figure out the wallets signing the transaction and the number of keys required to sign any transaction. Over a long enough period, they can theoretically gain access to the needed number of wallet private keys to launch successful attacks. Similarly, corrupt organizational members can retrieve the private key information of their peers to take control of funds and manipulate transactions. Also, several key signing transactions increase transaction fees at the blockchain level. Furthermore, multisig wallets are not interoperable and often just support one chain. So, interacting with assets from different blockchains will require enterprises and projects to utilize multiple multisig setups. Keeping track of all those wallets and spending heavily on the numerous transactional requirements are not feasible. Single- and multi-signature wallets may be ideal for the average retail investor or user. But institutions need wallet solutions that are more secure and efficient without one canceling the other, which is usually a dilemma with anything blockchain-related. Introducing MPC Technology: A Paradigm Shift in Governance MPC technology is nothing new – it has been a staple of cryptography since the ‘80s. With developments in MPC technology and blockchain’s introduction, MPC has integrated into the functioning of digital asset wallets. MPC technology is used to create separate shards of data. These shards, when combined, can compute a specific result. During the computation, no information about any shard is revealed. MPC algorithms are designed to hide the sharded data of users from one another while revealing just the results of computations. Transposing this capability to digital asset wallet functionalities generates possibilities where multiple individuals, again m-of-n, can approve transactions. It might sound like how multisig wallets work, but several differences exist. The major one is MPC wallets not consisting of several private keys like multisig wallets. Instead, they work with one key divided into multiple shards. When all the key shards, or the needed number of shards, initiate a transaction, the algorithm computes the data from the shards to generate a transaction signature. This signature then takes the transaction on-chain for verification. The computation itself is executed off-chain. Thus, hackers cannot learn about the key shards responsible for initiating transactions from MPC wallets by looking at blockchain explorers. This security comes on top of that offered by the multiple key shards needed to initiate transactions. MPC wallets are, thus, highly resilient against cyberattacks. Several MPC wallet providers now also implement key refresh features, which allow MPC wallet users to generate new key shards after every transaction or set intervals. Therefore, it is nearly impossible for cybercriminals to gather information about the needed shards over a long period to make unauthorized transactions. Institutions and protocols relying on MPC wallets for asset storage can avoid cyberattacks better than with other wallet types. Attacks launched by internal threats are obviously also averted. , reigning in the ideal governance measures through distributed access to digital assets in the most secure way. MPC wallets prevent the possibility of initiating corrupt transactions MPC wallets also offer high levels of transparency to enterprises. Those in charge of enterprise storage have access to wallet transaction history, including information about the value transferred and members approving or declining the transfers. Such improvements push MPC wallets above multisig ones despite both wallet types allowing for distributed digital asset transactions. MPC wallets also offer increased efficiency compared to multisig wallets and cold wallets. They transmit a single signature on-chain, making transaction confirmation much faster than confirmation on multisig wallets. Also, their enhanced security allows institution personnel to store the key shards safely online. Because of that, institutions can transact digital assets much faster than cold wallets while achieving similar levels of security. While cold wallets are still the industry standard for concentrated asset storage and can also come in MPC configurations, institutions can utilize hot wallets in MPC configurations for enhanced security while maintaining the efficiency needed to provide instant liquidity for customers. Another advantage of MPC wallets is that they are highly scalable. Say enterprises want to increase or decrease the number of personnel possessing access to their MPC wallets. They can generate or delete additional key shards with ease. Furthermore, MPC wallets are interoperable with most blockchains. So, enterprises and protocols can store several crypto assets in these wallets without maintaining dedicated wallets for each blockchain. The benefits do not stop there. MPC wallets can easily be plugged into platforms, removing the need to rebuild parts of the platforms to accommodate MPC storage. With a long list of advantages, MPC wallets are the logical choice over other wallets for platforms managing multiple wallets in their infrastructures and committing high-value transactions. Their efficiency and scalability are unmatched. MPC Technology in Action: Practical Applications for Institutional Governance MPC wallet providers are making a cutting-edge difference to the dilemma of institutional governance in Web3. Let’s look at some wallet providers and custodians providing the best MPC solutions. Fireblocks Fireblocks is an industry-leading custodian known to address all kinds of digital asset storage needs. Their non-custodial MPC wallet solution is one of the easiest to integrate into applications and platforms. It operates with the natively developed MPC-CMP algorithm – a leading innovation in MPC-based asset storage. The algorithm is open-source and can be audited before implementation. Fireblock’s MPC offerings are compatible with 50+ blockchains and hundreds, if not thousands, of tokens. Signing transactions occur with some of the fastest speeds while using Fireblock’s MPC wallets. These capabilities have let the custodian process transactions collectively, moving over $4 trillion. Liminal Custody Liminal is a fairly new entrant in the segment but is witnessing rapid adoption. Over fifty crypto enterprises use its services, including banking-grade MPC storage solutions. It also boasts more than $550 million worth of assets under secure storage and has processed transactions collectively worth over $6000 million through its custody solutions. Liminal has achieved such feats by making the most difference in the MPC wallet segment with its increased security protocols. digital asset custody That involves enterprises setting up measures like transaction limits and whitelisting receiver wallet addresses. These processes occur through ceremonies where enterprise personnel accept or decline wallets during the whitelisting process and set limits on transaction values. Through truly distributed governance, Liminal’s MPC wallets transform institutional governance and set the benchmark for Web3. Blockdaemon Blockdaemon – one of the best-known MPC wallet providers, has offered such solutions since 2018. Interestingly, the company is the first to issue MPC-based custody solutions. Not surprisingly, its MPC wallet solutions are some of the most widely used today. Several crypto enterprises and traditional finance institutions rely on its digital asset storage offerings. The wallet provider’s solutions come fortified by its “Advanced MPC” technology, a self-developed MPC module securing wallets on multiple levels. Like the other entrants here, Blockdaemon’s wallets are secured through distributed signing capabilities by dividing private keys into shards. However, what makes them highly interesting is the use of MPC technology for transaction-related policies. Blockdaemon uses cryptography to store policy-related information with key shards. Policies are, thus, merged with the key shards, making transaction manipulation highly unlikely. Therefore, transactions are secured by MPC technology at two layers, bringing increased security and good governance. These industry innovators offer solutions embedded with to take institutional, enterprise, and protocol custody-related governance to the next level. Despite the more touted benefits of distributed and secure access and storage of assets, MPC wallets bring other benefits like accountability and transparency to governance trails. So, whether it is an enterprise or a web3 protocol, permitted stakeholders always know how funds are accessed and utilized. MPC technology The Future of Institutional Governance with MPC Technology There is no doubt that MPC technology is spearheading the much-needed transformation in institutional governance that Web3 requires. By merging security, efficiency, and distributed access, MPC wallets avert major issues with the concentrated asset storage of enterprises and protocols. The entire ecosystem can rest easy now that their assets are stored much safer against cybercriminals and internal exploits. With that level of safety, more institutional investors will begin interacting with digital assets. The enormous value they pump into the ecosystem will remain secured by the enterprises of their choice. Of course, the safety will also extend to Web3 protocols. MPC wallets handling their massive liquidity will come set with predetermined parameters and distributed signing to ensure only correct transactions occur. DAOs will also move to implement MPC wallets if they are not already. All aspects of the will undoubtedly benefit from MPC technology. With calls for increased security, transparency, and efficient governance practices from user communities and regulators, MPC wallets hold the potential to fill all existing gaps. Web3 ecosystem Conclusion Web3 platforms have always had evident governance and security problems. They mainly stem from how the platforms store digital assets. MPC technology’s integration in asset storage infrastructure addresses the related governance issues and improves security and efficiency in handling large amounts of liquidity. Thus, it is important to understand how MPC technology plays a role in making the ecosystem better. Web3 enterprises must adapt to the changing times to meet the desires of users and lawmakers, and integrating MPC wallets into asset storage infrastructures will help them do that.
