Introduction to ChainUp Custody's Security Framework
ChainUp Custody revolutionizes digital asset protection through its advanced implementation of MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology, providing institutional investors with enterprise-grade security solutions. This system ensures users maintain complete asset control while benefiting from military-grade cryptographic protections.
Core Security Features
- Distributed Private Key Storage: Private keys are fragmented and jointly managed between users and ChainUp Custody
- Elimination of Single Points of Failure: MPC technology removes vulnerabilities associated with centralized key storage
- User-Controlled Asset Access: Clients initiate all transactions while maintaining 100% asset ownership

How ChainUp Custody's MPC Technology Works
Private Key Management Process
Key Generation & Distribution
- Private keys are mathematically divided into shards
Shards are distributed between:
- User-controlled devices (client-side storage)
- ChainUp Custody's secure environments
Transaction Authorization
- Requires recombination of key shards via secure MPC protocols
- No single entity ever possesses complete private key access
Storage Architecture
- Hardware-isolated environments
- Geo-distributed disaster recovery backups
- Military-grade encryption standards

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MPC differ from traditional multisig wallets?
MPC provides mathematically superior security by never combining full private keys during transactions, whereas multisig requires multiple complete signatures. MPC also offers better efficiency and lower blockchain fees.
What happens if I lose my key shard?
ChainUp Custody's implementation includes secure recovery protocols that allow authorized key regeneration without compromising security - a process impossible with traditional private key systems.
Is ChainUp Custody suitable for DeFi operations?
Absolutely. The solution supports seamless interaction with DeFi protocols while maintaining institutional compliance standards and transaction visibility.
