Fordefi

• Name: Fordefi
• URL: https://fordefi.com/
• Category: Institutional MPC wallet / DeFi security and digital-asset operations platform
• Summary: Fordefi is an institutional MPC wallet stack built for DeFi access. The useful angle is the transaction-review and policy layer in front of smart-contract interaction, not the MPC brochure.
• What it does:
  • Provides an institutional MPC wallet stack in which key shares are split between Fordefi and the customer, with customer-side shares stored on mobile devices or customer-controlled servers
  • Offers a browser extension and Web3 gateway for connecting to thousands of DApps across supported chains while surfacing contract metadata, transaction simulation, and warnings before approval
  • Gives organizations a policy engine for transaction approvals, address-book controls, admin quorum, and other operational guardrails tailored to DeFi workflows
  • Supports digital-asset operations through web console, mobile approvals, API access, vault management, exchange connectivity, swaps, staking, allowances management, and audit/compliance settings
  • Offers developer-facing tooling including REST APIs, webhooks, API signer flows, and a WaaS SDK for embedded non-custodial MPC wallet use cases
• Key claims:
  • Fordefi describes itself as an institutional MPC wallet and security platform purpose-built for DeFi rather than a generic custody dashboard
  • Product docs claim the platform eliminates single points of failure by combining secret sharing, MPC signing, and hardware enclaves across Fordefi and customer environments
  • Security docs emphasize transaction enrichment, contract verification, simulation, and risk alerts so approvers can meaningfully review complex smart-contract interactions
  • The policy/admin model claims to reduce both rogue-user and rogue-admin risk through granular rules plus quorum requirements for sensitive changes
  • Fordefi publicly claims SOC 2 Type II certification and multiple security assessments, though those assurances should still be treated as vendor claims unless independently verified
• Whitepaper: No classic whitepaper or litepaper was found during this pass. The strongest primary materials were Fordefi’s official docs around products/services, security, interfaces, and core concepts; see ../whitepapers/fordefi-primary-sources-2026-04-22.md.

Internal linkages

• fireblocks — stronger institutional operating-stack anchor

• bitgo — closer custody-and-policy baseline with more category weight

• blockaid — better contrast when the question is transaction review and signing risk, not custody
