Custody and Risk Management

Fortary is a self-custody security platform that provides everything institutions and blockchain companies need to securely custody assets and execute transactions. With Fortary, you always retain complete control and ownership of your assets. It’s a security tool that allows you to safely store and manage your digital currency—Fortary never has access to or control over your assets.

Non-Custodial Architecture

Fortary’s platform ensures that you maintain complete autonomy over your digital assets at every stage—key generation, transaction signing, and secure backup.
  • Fortary does not take custody of your funds at any point.
  • You hold your own keys and operate from dedicated, individual on-chain addresses that you always control.
  • Fortary can never prevent you from accessing your assets or withdrawing your funds.
  • Your assets are never pooled or commingled—keys and assets remain fully isolated, eliminating cross-account exposure.
  • Your funds are never listed on Fortary’s balance sheet, as the platform never takes custody.

End-to-End Security

Fortary is built with a security-first mindset, protecting against human error, cybercriminals, and internal threats.
  • Unlike multi-signature wallets, Fortary uses a non-custodial MPC architecture that delivers institutional-grade security with operational efficiency.
  • The platform never holds a quorum of key shares, meaning it cannot sign or initiate any transaction without your explicit authorization.
  • Key shares are distributed across multiple Intel SGX Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), where all cryptographic operations occur in hardware-secured zones.
  • Our MPCs in TEEs communicate through a proprietary locked mesh network, further securing signatures and MPC communication beyond industry standard.
  • Key shares are never fully generated or assembled—not during key creation, key rotation, transaction signing, or user onboarding.
  • Fortary undergoes regular third-party audits to validate the integrity and security of its MPC-based system.

Robust Recovery and Independence

Fortary ensures that you retain access to your keys and assets—even in the event of platform failure or company dissolution.
  • Comprehensive disaster recovery procedures allow you to independently recover your keys at any time.
  • Fortary is fully non-custodial—your assets are never merged with the company’s or other clients’ assets, ensuring complete legal and operational separation.
  • Backup protocols support key migration to third-party wallets, ensuring no dependence on Fortary.
  • Fortary never has access to your keys—this self-sovereign recovery model guarantees asset mobility and platform independence, even during major disruptions.

Policy Controls and Auditing

Fortary offers granular, user-defined policy controls that combine operational flexibility with institutional-grade security.
  • Policies are defined and enforced within MPC SGX enclaves, offering hardware-level protection for transaction rules and user permissions.
  • All transactions are immediately settled on-chain, with no intermediary delays or disruptions between counterparties.
  • Detailed audit logs capture every transaction outcome—approved, denied, blocked, or failed—providing full visibility and traceability.
  • Assets cannot be moved without required internal approvals, protecting funds from unauthorized access or manipulation—even under external or internal pressure.
