In the digital asset ecosystem, security is not a static state but a process of continuous evolution. Our framework is architected to provide institutional-grade protection today while actively integrating the next generation of security protocols. We combine best-in-class technology with rigorous, independently-verified controls to safeguard capital against both current and emerging threats. This multi-layered approach, blending established solutions with forward-looking architecture, is fundamental to protecting client assets.
Fundamental Custody Risk
The risk of private key compromise, theft, or loss at a foundational level.
Exchange Counterparty Risk
The risk of capital loss due to the insolvency, hack, or failure of a third-party trading venue.
Operational & Transfer Risk
The risk of unauthorised fund movements, collusion, or human error during asset transfers.
Segregated, Multi-Party Custody
We partner with leading regulated custodians like Fidelity Digital Assets and Copper, using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and air-gapped cold storage to eliminate single points of failure.
Off-Exchange Settlement (OES)
We leverage prime brokerage infrastructure from providers like Fireblocks to execute trades across multiple venues while assets remain secured in dedicated custody accounts, drastically reducing direct exchange exposure.
Independent Oversight & Dual Control
The Investment Manager has no unilateral right to transfer funds. All movements require joint authorisation from the independent Fund Administrator and the Custodian, creating institutional-grade checks and balances.
On-Chain Segregation & Policy Enforcement
We are moving towards next-generation custody models where security policies, such as withdrawal addresses and velocity limits, are enforced directly on-chain, making them immutable and transparent.
Tri-Party Agreements
We are actively developing frameworks for tri-party agreements. This structure allows assets to be settled via an independent custodian, providing maximum security and mitigating counterparty risk in bilateral transactions.
Automated & Programmable Governance
Our future state involves fully programmable governance where multi-signature approvals and transfer rules are embedded into smart contracts, automating compliance and further minimising the potential for human error.
The digital asset security landscape is constantly advancing. Our team is at the forefront of this evolution, contributing to and publishing research on emerging protocols and best practices. We believe in transparency and education as key components of security.
