Keys without governance are just hopes. Enforce approvals, limits, and segregation — by design.

If you don't use custody, you already lost your money
Exchange & counterparty risk baked-in
Pooled exchange wallets, opaque rehypothecation, 'paused withdrawals.'
Capital leaves your control each time you send to trade.
Your risk isn't priced — it's hidden in workflow.
Invisible loss of control
A single leaked seed drains funds.
A lone admin approves a bad withdrawal.
A browser plugin signs the wrong transaction.
You hold keys, but you don't hold a policy.
Operational drag = financial drag
Manual approvals, Slack pings, spreadsheet whitelists.
Humans doing what automation should — slowly and inconsistently.
Delay, errors, and untracked exceptions
Audit/compliance gaps
No immutable logs, no segregation, no provable ownership.
Regulators, insurers, and partners say 'come back with controls.'
You run operations, but you can’t prove control
Who it's for
Exchanges/ Brokers
Keep client assets segregated; offer custody-native trading
Asset Managers/ OTC
Enforce mandates and limits across desks and strategies
Payment Processors
Automate treasury flows with policy-bound wallets
Banks/ Fintechs
Launch digital asset products without handing keys to third parties
Custody by Bequant
Institutional custody infrastructure you can brand, ship, and control.
Security primitives
- MMPC/HSM wallets: with threshold signatures, hardware-backed key shards
- Segregated accounts: — per-customer / per-strategy on-chain segregation for clear ownership
- Automated risk checks:
Just-in-time screening before a transaction leaves draftPolicy engine:
Role-based approvals, limits, velocity controls, allowlists/denylists, time-locks
Compliance accelerators
- Controls that map to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 frameworks, use your actual certs if applicable
- Journeys:
Travel Rule integrations, custody attestations, KYA/KYB partner hooksReporting:
Downloadable evidence packs, audit trails, reconciliation
White-label & extensibility
- Your brand, your UX, themable console or embed widgets
- API-first with webhooks, and event streams
- Asset coverage
BTC, EVM chains, major L2s, 40+ blockchains; roadmap extensible
Governance & audit
- Multi-party approvals with quorum schemas (e.g., 2-of-3 Ops+ 1-of-2 Risk)
- Immutable logs with easy export
- Attestations:
API endpoints for provable balances & segregation
Trading without leaving custody
- Policy-constrained execution: trades triggered only within your defined guardrails
Deployment models
- Cloud (40Fi managed), Self-hosted, or Hybrid (HSM on-prem with cloud control plane)
- Data residency & key shard locality options

How it works
From demo to go-live
Design your policy
Define roles, limits, and approval flows
Set up custody
Provision MPC wallets, choose segregation model, connect HSM if needed
Connect venues
Enable off-exchange settlement channels and allowlists
Go live
Monitor with dashboards, alerts, and audit exports. Time-to-value: Weeks — not quarters. (Actual timelines depend on model and scope)
