Wallet and custody infrastructure delivered through an API for banks, fintechs and institutions handling digital assets

Dfns cover

About Dfns

Dfns provides core banking infrastructure for digital assets. Businesses connect to it through an API to create and manage crypto wallets, sign transactions and run custody without building the security layer themselves.

What Dfns does

  • Wallet-as-a-Service: configurable wallets that can be created in large numbers through the API.
  • Transaction management: signing and controlling transfers, with rules and approval policies.
  • Treasury management: balance monitoring and segregated accounts.
  • Tokenization engine: tools for issuing and handling tokenized assets.
  • Keyless security: multi-party computation splits signing power across independent nodes, so no single private key exists.

Clients

Banks, fintechs and institutions, including payments companies and asset managers. IBM chose it as the technology behind its Digital Asset Haven product.

Key facts

  • Clients: more than 400 banks, fintechs and institutions
  • Networks: over 100 blockchains supported
  • Compliance: SOC 2 Type II
