Distributed Institutional MPC: The Future of Institutional Custody
Decentralized key management with governance enforced control and zero vendor trust.
Rox introduces Distributed Institutional MPC as the new standard for institutional custody. Key shards never form a complete private key and remain distributed across institution controlled Self Custody Nodes (SCNs). No operator, including Rox, can access funds or authorize transactions. Institutions retain full sovereignty over signing, approval workflows, infrastructure, and operational control.
From MPC to Distributed Institutional MPC: True Institutional Control
Traditional MPC custodians decentralize cryptography but centralize signing power. Institutions depend on the vendor’s infrastructure, approval systems, or policy engines, creating vendor privilege risk. Distributed Institutional MPC changes the model. Rox extends decentralization from key management to governance enforcement, approval logic, and transaction execution, giving institutions complete ownership of every layer of their custody operations.
Zero Vendor and Counterparty Risk
Institutions maintain full control of all key shards through Self Custody Nodes (SCNs). Rox cannot sign, approve, or submit transactions, eliminating dependency on third party operators and removing vendor custody risk entirely.
Programmable Governance Engine
The Policy Engine enforces institution defined roles, approval tiers, thresholds, compliance checks, and workflows. Governance is enforced before signing, ensuring cryptographic protection and deterministic operational control.
Data and Infrastructure Sovereignty
Host your Self Custody Nodes (SCNs) in your environment, including sovereign cloud, private cloud, or on premise infrastructure. Institutions maintain full control of infrastructure, data residency, and regulatory alignment for jurisdictions requiring local execution.
Regulatory Ready Architecture
All approvals, signatures, and governance events are immutably recorded on RoxChain. RoxChain integrates with RegNet for compliance enforcement and RoxScan for transparent audit logging, enabling institutions to operate digital asset programs within regulated frameworks.
How Distributed Institutional MPC Works
Distributed Institutional MPC splits a private key into independent encrypted shards. These shards remain distributed across institution controlled Self Custody Nodes (SCNs). No shard can sign independently. Signatures require threshold participation and validated human intent through governance policies.
Self Custody Nodes (SCN)
Run Self Custody Nodes (SCNs) across treasury, compliance, or operational departments, creating distributed trust and operational separation.
Threshold Signatures
Signatures require multi party participation. Each SCN is authenticated, authorized, and validated through the institution’s governance policies before signing.
RoxChain Governance
For transactions executed on RoxChain, governance events are recorded on chain, providing immutable accountability, transparent auditing, and regulatory assurance.
