{% tab title="MPC Self-Custody" %}
**Take full control with Multi-Party Computation technology**

Our MPC Self-Custody solution enables institutions to generate and manage their own master keys while maintaining institutional-grade security and operational features.

**Key Features:**

* **Complete Asset Control**: No single-point key risk. Clients maintain 100% control over their assets.
* **Hardware-Isolated Security**: Operational keys secured in SGX enclaves (Trusted Execution Environment) and never exposed outside the protected environment.
* **Enterprise Governance Built-In**: Multi-level approvals, role-based permissions, and withdrawal controls—custody-grade security with self-custody flexibility.
* **Compliance-Ready Screening**: Built-in KYT and Travel Rule tools for user-driven transaction monitoring and regulatory compliance.
* **Multi-Workspace Architecture**: Independent risk controls per workspace for operational segregation.
* **Advanced Operational Features**: DeFi connectivity, automated withdrawal consolidation, unified multi-chain addresses, and automatic recovery for mis-sent deposits across supported blockchains.

The MPC solution provides the autonomy of self-custody with the operational sophistication of institutional infrastructure.
