Safeheron: Redefining Asia’s Benchmark for Crypto Asset Custody with MPC + TEE
What Are Crypto Asset Custody Services?
Crypto asset custody services provide a complete solution for institutions and individuals, covering secure private-key storage, transaction signing, asset custody, staking, insurance, and compliance audits. Traditional custody relies on a “single-point private key,” whereas next-generation custody leverages MPC, TEE, and distributed signing to eliminate single points of failure and satisfy regulatory requirements.
