How Does MPC Differ from a Traditional Multi-Signature (Multisig) Wallet?

A traditional multisig wallet requires multiple independent private keys to authorize a transaction. MPC, in contrast, never creates a single private key; instead, it uses cryptographic techniques to generate key shards that jointly sign a transaction.

This eliminates the single point of failure inherent in the creation of a master key and allows for more flexible, threshold-based signing policies without on-chain visibility of the policy.
