Dfns

Dfns was founded to solve the critical security challenges inherent in digital asset management by delivering a modern Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) infrastructure built on secure cryptography and programmable governance. The company has reimagined wallet infrastructure using MPC (Multi-Party Computation) and TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme) protocols, enabling institutions to create, manage, and embed wallets in their applications with complete control over authorization, compliance, and deployment configurations.

Since its inception, Dfns has onboarded high-profile partners and clients including ABN AMRO, MoonPay, Zodia Custody, and Vita Wallet. The platform is already securing over $20 billion in assets and powering more than 10 million wallets globally—without a single wallet ever being hacked. This strong security posture is reinforced by independent audits from firms like Halborn and Kudelski, and certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001/27017/27018.

In a competitive space, Dfns stands apart through its modular deployment architecture, which includes on-premises, hybrid, and fully managed SaaS options. This makes it a go-to solution for institutions with strict compliance and sovereignty needs. Major competitors in this space include Fireblocks, BitGo, Copper, and Curv (now part of PayPal). Unlike these platforms, which often impose strict custodial models, Dfns gives developers and institutions the freedom to build custodial, non-custodial, or co-managed wallet architectures—making it highly adaptable to emerging compliance standards such as MiCA, DORA, and FISMA.

The Dfns roadmap reflects an ongoing focus on resilience and scalability. With near-instant MPC signing speeds under 100ms, support for 100+ blockchain networks, and robust API tooling, Dfns positions itself as the most future-proof and developer-friendly solution in the space. The platform also offers advanced governance tooling through programmable policies, smart contract automation, and real-time observability—empowering businesses to scale with both agility and confidence.

Dfns provides numerous benefits and features that make it a standout project in the digital asset wallet infrastructure space:

• Developer-Centric Design: Dfns offers simple APIs and SDKs for rapidly integrating programmable wallets into apps, making wallet deployment possible in under a day.
• Institutional-Grade Security: Leveraging advanced MPC cryptography, passkey authentication, and real-time attestation, Dfns ensures zero single points of failure.
• Composable Deployments: Choose between cloud-based, hybrid, or on-premises key management setups to meet any regulatory or compliance requirement.
• Programmable Governance: Define transaction rules, multi-level approvals, and role-based permissions through a powerful policy engine.
• Non-Custodial & Custodial Flexibility: Create org-controlled or user-controlled wallets tailored to your business model, including wallet recovery and export options.
• Multi-Blockchain Support: Seamless support for over 100 blockchains and assets like Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Tron, and Bitcoin.
• Battle-Tested Infrastructure: Regular penetration testing by firms like Halborn and Kudelski, plus certifications such as ISO 27017/27018.
