With over 10 million wallets created and $1B+ in monthly transaction volume, Dfns is the secure wallet infrastructure powering digital asset operations for financial institutions, fintechs, exchanges, and tokenization platforms across 100+ blockchains.
While interest in digital assets grows, managing wallets at scale remains a challenge - especially for regulated institutions. Legacy custody systems can’t meet the demands of real-time, multi-chain, and programmable finance.
Dfns solves this by offering a single API to create, manage, and orchestrate wallets - with enterprise-grade governance, flexible key custody (MPC, HSM, hybrid), and built-in compliance capabilities. Designed for security, built for scale, and ready for developers.
