The Safer Way to Store Crypto
Gridlock distributes your key across people and devices—so it's always recoverable, never exposed.
Why Traditional Storage Fails
Crypto wallets haven't kept pace. Most are risky, fragile, or nearly impossible to recover. Here's what's wrong—and how we're changing it.
The Exchange Trap
Leaving crypto on exchanges means it's never really yours. Exchanges can freeze accounts, disappear, or get hacked—and billions have vanished exactly this way. Gridlock puts you back in control with secure, distributed storage.
The Hot Wallet Problem
Hot wallets are easy—but always online. Click one wrong link or download one shady app, and your keys are gone forever. Gridlock splits and encrypts your keys, ensuring they're never exposed.
The Hardware Wallet Myth
Hardware wallets seem secure, but they're only as safe as a backup phrase. Lose the phrase, break the device, or mess up your setup, and your crypto is gone. Gridlock eliminates this single point of failure entirely.
Distributed storage is better
Gridlock removes single points of failure by distributing your crypto across multiple devices. It's an entire grid that locks your crypto. Unlike traditional wallets with a single vulnerable seed phrase or exchanges that can freeze your funds at any time, Gridlock ensures your crypto stays secure—and only you have control.
The Technology
How Gridlock Delivers Next-Level Security
Multi-Party Computation (MPC)
Gridlock uses MPC—Multi-Party Computation—to fix the most critical vulnerability of traditional wallets: relying on a single private key.
In software wallets like MetaMask or hardware wallets like Ledger, losing your key means losing your crypto forever. MPC eliminates this danger by dividing your private key into several key shares and securely distributing them across multiple devices.
Why MPC is Powerful:
- No single device ever holds the full key.
- Your crypto stays safe even if one device is compromised.
- Transactions require coordinated approval from multiple key shares.
- The complete key is never fully assembled or exposed.
Think of it like nuclear launch codes—no single person or device can act alone. Or imagine it as multiple keys needed to unlock a bank vault: one alone won't grant access.
This approach isn't just safer, it's fundamentally smarter. No risky seed phrases. No single point of failure. No complicated hardware devices that can still fail.
Threshold Signatures
MPC ensures your key isn't exposed, but how do you make sure only you authorize transactions? That's what Threshold Signatures solve. Instead of using the entire private key for signing, Threshold Signatures only approve transactions when enough key shares agree—meeting a defined threshold.
For instance, if your key is split into five shares, Gridlock can require approval from just three shares to complete a transaction.
The Benefits:
- Funds remain secure even if one or two key shares are lost.
- A hacker would need simultaneous access to multiple key shares, making theft practically impossible.
- You remain fully in control without the vulnerability of a single key.
This is a major leap beyond traditional wallets. With standard crypto wallets, losing your seed phrase leaves you completely exposed. Gridlock's MPC and Threshold Signatures combine to offer advanced security that is reliable, recoverable, and easy to use.
