About Fordefi
Fordefi is the first institutional-grade MPC wallet and security platform built specifically for DeFi. It empowers institutional investors, hedge funds, trading firms, and Web3 organizations to securely manage digital assets, automate workflows, and interact seamlessly with decentralized applications across multiple chains. With its robust key management, transaction simulation, and granular policy controls, Fordefi delivers unmatched control and clarity.
At its core, Fordefi combines advanced MPC cryptography, multi-chain dApp connectivity, and flexible governance tools in one enterprise-ready platform. Whether you're building with Web3 infrastructure, executing trades, or overseeing treasury operations, Fordefi enables secure, self-custodied asset management without compromising performance or transparency.
Fordefi was created to address two of the most critical pain points for institutions in DeFi: key security and transaction clarity. Traditional custodial solutions fall short when it comes to dynamic, multi-chain strategies. In response, Fordefi introduced a first-of-its-kind platform that integrates multi-party computation (MPC) key management, real-time transaction simulation, and self-serve policy engines, enabling institutions to deploy capital in DeFi with confidence.
Fordefi uses a distributed MPC model, where key shares are split between secure enclaves on user devices and Fordefi servers—removing single points of failure. This cryptographic infrastructure supports all the platform’s interfaces: browser extension, mobile app, REST API, and web console. Users can define custom policies for every transaction, dApp, and user, automate approval thresholds, and monitor every transaction in detail before signing.
What makes Fordefi particularly valuable is its unmatched transaction enrichment system. Before executing any action, users see exactly what a smart contract will do, who the recipient is, and how balances will change—minimizing risks of phishing or protocol exploits. Fordefi independently verifies contract metadata and dApp names, adding another layer of due diligence to every interaction.
The platform is already trusted by top-tier firms like Pantera, DeFiance Capital, Wintermute, and Keyrock, proving its viability across a variety of institutional use cases. Its direct competitors include platforms like Fireblocks, Copper, and AnchorWatch, but Fordefi differentiates itself by being purpose-built for DeFi and combining developer tools with full custody control.
With SOC 2 Type II certification, penetration-tested infrastructure, and partnerships with industry leaders, Fordefi is redefining institutional security and usability in decentralized finance. It bridges the gap between advanced onchain participation and enterprise-grade compliance, scalability, and performance.

Fordefi FAQ
Fordefi uses multi-party computation (MPC) to split the private key into multiple shares stored in secure enclaves. No single device ever holds the complete key, eliminating the risk of theft or compromise. This system provides self-custody without the usability trade-offs, allowing users to sign transactions with high assurance via web, mobile, or API interfaces.
Before signing, Fordefi presents enriched transaction previews with smart contract clarity. It displays token flows, updated balances, and verifies dApp names and contract addresses against a trusted database. This ensures users never approve blind or spoofed transactions—dramatically reducing the risk of fraud or misexecution.
Fordefi includes a powerful policy engine that allows organizations to configure transaction permissions, user roles, and approval thresholds at a granular level. Features like admin quorum, protocol-specific controls, and automated compliance rules provide scalable governance, perfect for hedge funds, market makers, and enterprise teams.
Yes. Fordefi provides a full developer suite including a REST API and MPC SDK for wallet creation, transaction signing, vault management, and real-time asset updates. This makes it easy to build secure, DeFi-enabled products with institutional-grade key management.
Fordefi mitigates risk through MPC-secured key infrastructure, transaction previews, and policy automation. The platform eliminates counter-party risk by keeping institutions in control of their own keys, while providing robust controls to prevent unauthorized actions. Third-party audits and SOC 2 certification add further assurance.
