Key Share Distribution
MPCVault uses a 3-of-3 multi-party computation (MPC) setup:
| Share | Holder | Location | TEE |
|---|
| Share 1 | You | Your device | - |
| Share 2 | MPCVault | Google Cloud | AMD SEV |
| Share 3 | MPCVault | Microsoft Azure | Intel SGX |
All three shares are required for signing. No single party ever has access to the complete private key.
Multi-Cloud Infrastructure
MPCVault operates across multiple cloud providers, each using a different Trusted Execution Environment (TEE):
| Cloud | TEE Technology | Description |
|---|
| Google Cloud | AMD SEV | Secure Encrypted Virtualization |
| Microsoft Azure | Intel SGX | Software Guard Extensions |
This orthogonal platform design reduces the risk of compromise - a vulnerability in one TEE technology doesn’t affect the other.
No Counterparty Risk
Unlike centralized custody providers, MPCVault never holds all your key shares. This eliminates counterparty risk - you always know where your assets are and maintain control over them.
You can:
- Request your key shares from MPCVault at any time
- Designate a Trust to hold encrypted backups for recovery independent of MPCVault
Recovery Options
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Key Share Export | Request all three shares for full wallet recovery |
| Trust Backup | Store encrypted backup with a third-party trust |
| Standard Recovery | Use your device and MPCVault’s shares together |
