The library is built in-house and supports our co-signing model, where no single party, including The Vault itself, can authorise a transfer on its own. Building the cryptographic layer in-house gives us direct control over the code, signing protocols and release schedule. It also means auditors can examine the complete implementation without an external vendor boundary. Halborn reviewed 91 files across the cryptographic core, test suite, and iOS and Android signer applications. All findings raised during the engagement were remediated and verified. ๐Ÿ”— Read more about this update and the work behind our MPC library in the full article: thevault.inc/company/newsrooโ€ฆ
