Federated Digital Asset Custody
Secure storage of Bitcoin and stablecoins across multiple jurisdictions. No single point of failure. Threshold cryptography ensures no single party can access client funds alone.
How It Works
Deposit
Clients deposit Bitcoin or stablecoins through KYC-verified channels into the federation.
Secure
Assets are distributed across 10 independent guardians using threshold cryptography. No single guardian holds a complete key.
Transfer
Authorized transfers between verified accounts are processed when 7 of 10 guardians approve.
Withdraw
Clients withdraw funds through verified channels with a complete audit trail for every transaction.
Built for Institutions
No Single Point of Failure
Assets distributed across independent guardians in multiple jurisdictions. If one fails, the system continues.
Threshold Cryptography
7 of 10 guardians must approve any transaction. No single party can access or move client funds alone.
Proof of Reserves
Cryptographic verification that client assets are fully backed — verifiable anytime without exposing individual balances.
Multi-Jurisdictional
Guardians operate across multiple independent jurisdictions. Geographic distribution strengthens resilience and regulatory alignment.
API-First Integration
RESTful API for licensed operators to integrate custody services into their platforms programmatically.
Full Compliance
KYC/AML at all entry and exit points. Transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and complete audit trails.

Defense-in-Depth Security
Our security architecture operates across three layers: prevention, detection, and response. Every layer assumes the layer above it has failed.
Prevention
No single person or entity can move funds. A supermajority of independent guardians across multiple countries must approve every operation. Configuration changes require approval plus a mandatory delay.
Detection
Every operation is logged in an immutable audit trail. Automated monitoring flags unusual activity in real-time. Proof of reserves is continuously verifiable by auditors and regulators.
Response
If suspicious activity is detected, guardians can freeze all operations instantly. Guardians who act maliciously lose their staked collateral. The system fails safe — it stops, it never leaks.
Resilience
Federation survives loss of up to 3 guardians. Encrypted backups stored in different jurisdictions from the guardian they belong to. No single location holds more than 2 guardian backups.
