Custody

Secure custody is a core component of OLTA’s protocol architecture.

Web3Auth Exploration

OLTA is actively exploring Web3Auth as a self-custody solution for investors, enabling secure key management and efficient onboarding. This approach allows users to retain ownership of their assets while benefiting from simplified authentication and recovery workflows.

In parallel, OLTA is reviewing the legal and compliance implications of adopting self-custody frameworks to ensure alignment with institutional standards.

Institutional Custody Partners

For institutional allocators and regulated entities, OLTA considers integration with established custody providers, including:

• Fireblocks – widely adopted platform for digital asset custody, transfers, and secure MPC workflows.

• Anchorage Digital – federally chartered crypto bank in the US, offering qualified custody and regulatory alignment.

These providers enable secure asset storage with insurance coverage, auditable controls, and institutional workflows.

What is MPC Custody? Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is a cryptographic method used by leading custody providers (e.g., Fireblocks, Anchorage) to secure digital assets.

• Instead of a single private key, the key is split into multiple cryptographic shares.

• These shares are distributed across different devices or servers, ensuring no single party ever holds the full key.

• To authorize a transaction, each party performs a partial computation on its share. The results are combined to produce a valid signature, without ever reconstructing the full key.

Why it matters:

• Removes the single point of failure risk.

• Enables flexible rules (e.g., 2-of-3 approvals).

• Provides institutional-grade security with compliance-friendly auditability.

MPC workflows make custody safer, scalable, and resilient, which is why they are now the standard for institutional digital asset custody.

Retail Access

For retail users, OLTA will maintain compatibility with familiar wallet standards to ensure accessibility:

• WalletConnect – a universal protocol that connects OLTA to a broad range of retail wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet).

This dual approach allows OLTA to combine institutional-grade custody with open retail participation, ensuring a scalable and compliant custody framework.
