Technical Definition
MPC Wallet
An MPC wallet uses multi-party computation so signing authority is divided among multiple parties or devices without reconstructing one full private key in a single place.

✦ Key Insight
It can reduce single-key exposure and support institutional or consumer recovery designs.
✕ Common Misconceptions
MPC is not automatically decentralized or non-custodial; provider control and recovery design must be reviewed.
Detailed Explanation
Different implementations use different cryptographic protocols and recovery models.
In Practice
“A company requires two independent MPC participants to cooperate before a large transfer is signed.”

Private Key
The secret number that authorises spending from a crypto address.
Multisig Wallet
A wallet that requires several independent keys to approve a transaction before it executes.
Custody
Custody is the safekeeping and control of digital assets or the private keys needed to access them.
Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS)
A Threshold Signature Scheme lets a defined threshold of participants cooperate to create one valid digital signature.
