Our In-House MPC Infrastructure: Uncompromising Security at Unprecedented Speed

Today, the standard for securing digital assets is Multi-Party Computation (MPC) the same core technology used by major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. Instead of a single private key, MPC splits the key into multiple encrypted 'shares' that are stored separately. Due to the fact that no single share can ever control the assets, this method removes the risk of a single point of failure. While MPC is the standard, the way it's implemented is what creates significant performance differences between platforms.

Blank identified an unacceptable bottleneck, third-party "turnkey" MPC solutions. These external MPC solutions introduces fundamental compromises, especially in latency and control.

1. The Unavoidable Latency of Turnkey MPC: When a platform uses a turnkey MPC service, every transaction signature requires a round-trip API call to that external provider. The platform must request a signature, the provider processes it within their own infrastructure, and then sends the signed transaction back. Turnkey advertises "Low Latency: 50-100ms for signing transactions and creating wallets" This can be significant enough to push you into the next block.

2. The Limitations of External Control: A platform's performance is only as strong as its weakest link. When using a turnkey solution for wallet infrastructure, the critical step of transaction signing is outsourced. This means the platform is subject to the latency, uptime, and regional performance of that third-party service. Even if the platform builds a highly optimized system for transaction submission, it cannot control the initial delay introduced by the external signing process, which hinders true end-to-end optimization.

Achieving Optimal Performance: Our Custom-Built MPC Engine

To deliver on our promise of True Zero-Block execution, we engineered our own MPC infrastructure from the ground up. This allows us to retain the institutional-grade security of key sharding while achieving a quantum leap in performance.

• Ultra-Low Latency Signing: By managing the entire MPC environment in-house, we eliminate the need for external API calls. Our system is optimized for a single task: signing transactions for our platform. This focused architecture allows us to compile and sign a transaction in just 4-8 milliseconds a 10-20x improvement over standard turnkey solutions. This speed advantage is a critical component of our ability to secure inclusion in the next block.

Proof of Optimality and Security

We validate our approach through continuous, transparent measures:

Instead of buying a security solution, we developed our own. This ensures our security enhances platform speed rather than causing delays. Providing our users with a trading environment that is both exceptionally fast and fundamentally secure.

Think of a "turnkey" MPC provider like using a high-security bank vault downtown to store your keys. It's very secure, and many big companies use it. However, every single time you need to sign a transaction (like unlocking a door), you have to send a request downtown, wait for the bank to process it with their procedures, and then wait for them to send the approval back. This round trip, while secure, is slow and adds a delay of 50-100 milliseconds to every single action.

Instead of using that downtown bank, we built our own state-of-the-art, high-speed vault right inside our own building. We use the exact same advanced security principles (splitting the key into multiple shares so no single piece is vulnerable), but because it's our own system, the approval process is instantaneous. We don't have to ask an outside party for permission.

This allows us to sign transactions in just 4-8 milliseconds. By eliminating the external dependency, we achieve a 10-20x speed improvement in the most critical part of the process, which is essential for our Zero-Block execution and provides a massive advantage in trading.
