Overview
Multi-party custody distributes control over digital assets across several parties or devices, so no single person or system can move funds alone. We design multi-party custody architectures — MPC key share distribution, multisig schemes, recovery procedures, key ceremonies and governance — often integrating with specialist MPC providers.
Shivacha provides technology and integration services. Custody, compliance and regulated activities are performed by your organisation or licensed partners.
Common use cases

- Internal segregationControl split across departments.
