🗞️ The Wallet Service Guide is out! 🙌 After more than five years of building, integrating, and refining wallet infrastructure, we decided to sum up what we’ve learned in one post. Many founders and developers think wallets are simple. A private key in AWS KMS? A smart contract from Safe? A Ledger Nano? That’s a wallet, right? Not so fast. The reality is far more complex and consequential. Crypto wallets are base modules and operating systems for blockchains. Consider this: in the future, every app, service, AI agent, and IoT device won’t just have a wallet—everything will be a wallet. Wallets won’t always be called Phantom, Coinbase, or Metamask. They’ll be invisible, built into apps, and driven by APIs quietly powering major financial services behind the scenes. But here’s the catch: understanding wallet services is a minefield of overlapping definitions, confusing classifications, and marketing noise. What’s a custodial vs. non-custodial wallet? Is “self-custody” even real? How should wallets behave? What does it actually mean to operate a wallet at scale? We wrote "The Wallet Service Guide" to cut through the confusion. This isn’t another take on consumer wallet UI. It’s about the substratal technologies, including the Developer Experience (DX), the Admin Experience (AX) and more, that define how digital assets can be managed securely and efficiently. It’s a reference guide for fintechs, enterprises, and financial institutions navigating the critical decision of which wallet strategy to adopt. 🔹 What is a wallet, how do you define it, and what types exist? 🔹 How should you choose a wallet solution based on your use cases? 🔹 What are the "Wallet Pyraminx" and "Wallet Decemma" frameworks? 🔹 What does it mean to rethink the notion of “custody” for wallets? If your organization is working with digital assets (be it stablecoins, tokenized securities, crypto, or others) these aren’t minor questions. The wrong setup won’t just slow you down; it adds unnecessary risk. This guide explains it all. 🔗 Read it here:

🎉 @dfnsHQ completed its Operational Due Diligence by DigOpp ✔️ We’re thrilled to announce that we're now featured in the Counterparty Catalogue, a new initiative by @DigOppGroup to standardize Operational Due Diligence (ODD) for crypto tech vendors. The Counterparty Catalogue fills a critical gap in crypto by providing a transparent, standardized resource for evaluating blockchain and digital asset companies. It’s designed to equip funds, institutions, and fintechs with detailed ODD reports, side-by-side comparisons, and insights to make informed decisions. We’re proud to be the first (and only) company to complete DigOpp’s ODD process—a rigorous 3-month evaluation resulting in a 30-page report that covers: ✅ Summary: Scope, overview, and risks. ✅ Risk Analysis: Impact-likelihood heat map and risk table. ✅ Company Profile: Transaction and policy visualization, custody technology (key generation, policy management, signing/broadcasting, disaster recovery, key exports), and claimable wallets. ✅ Products and Offerings: Product summary and reference pricing. ✅ Trading and Execution. Integrations, liquidity, settlement features, transaction lifecycle management. ✅ Financial Health: Financial stability, cash management, clients and assets, investors, banking, and credit relationships. ✅ Regulation and Compliance: Licenses, certifications, audits, policies, corporate structure, AML/KYC practices, investigations, and cybersecurity. ✅ Insurance: Coverage details. And we delivered near perfect risk assessment results: - No medium or high risks identified - Only 2 low risks and 4 informational risks In a nutshell, here’s why Dfns stands out according to the report: 🤖 API-First Infrastructure 🤹 Flexible Wallet Options ⚙️ Comprehensive Governance 🌐 Multichain Support 🔌 Ecosystem Integrations 🆘 Disaster Recovery 🛡️ Enhanced Security 📦 Scalable Deployments 🟢 Regulatory Compliance 💪 Proven Platform Learn more about our ODD here:
