MultiSig requires multiple keys to authorize transactions. While this strengthens defense against a single point of compromise, it often leads to operational complexity, coordination difficulties, and reduced autonomy for the end user.

MPC-TSS, built on advanced cryptographic computation, avoids concentrating private keys with one party. It is mathematically robust, but highly technical, resource intensive, and often dependent on external infrastructure.

approaches succeed in securing assets, yet they share a common weakness they make custody unnecessarily complex. The result is that many users individuals and institutions alike are pushed toward centralized alternatives that compromise the principles of self custody.

Hybrid Custody offers a different path. By combining dual party and dual key architecture, it preserves user control while adding a safety layer against both theft and permanent loss. One key remains in the user’s hands, while the other serves as a recovery co signing safeguard.
