Thiqwave uses non-custodial, Multi-Party Computation (MPC) based key management to ensure that partners and their customers retain full control over digital assets throughout the payment lifecycle.

Non-Custodial Model

Thiqwave never has unilateral access to partner or customer funds. This means:
  • No key control: Thiqwave infrastructure cannot unilaterally move or access digital assets
  • Partner sovereignty: All assets remain under partner control at all times
  • Transparent settlement: Real-time visibility into fund movement and balances

MPC-Based Key Management

Private keys are split into cryptographic shares distributed across independent infrastructure:
  • No single point of failure: No individual system, person, or organization holds the complete private key
  • Threshold security: Transactions require consensus between multiple key shares held in separate secure environments
  • Hardware-based execution: Key shares are stored in dedicated hardware-based trusted execution environments (TEEs)
  • Instant reconciliation: MPC operations complete in real-time without requiring external coordination

Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure

Thiqwave leverages production-grade infrastructure components:
  • Trusted execution environments: Hardware security modules and SGX-based enclaves isolate key material
  • Distributed architecture: Key shares are never co-located on the same physical infrastructure
  • Operational resilience: Redundant infrastructure ensures continuous availability
  • Audit trails: All transaction operations are logged and auditable

Wallet Options

You can connect digital asset wallets in multiple ways:
  • Bring your own wallet: Connect your existing non-custodial wallet and maintain full control
  • Thiqwave-managed wallets: Use Thiqwave-provisioned non-custodial wallets with MPC-based security
  • Policy engine: Configure transaction approval policies, limits, and operational controls

No Seed Phrases

MPC eliminates the operational burden of seed phrase management:
  • Secrets are never combined or exposed in plain text
  • No single backup artifact needed for wallet recovery
  • Reduced risk of human error or compromise during key management
  • Simplified operational procedures for institutional use
