Fireblocks Platform

Institutional MPC/TSS wallet, custody, treasury, payments, and API infrastructure

We reviewed Fireblocks Platform using 6 official and public sources. The notes below focus on custody, recovery, and security trade-offs.

Fireblocks supplies institutional wallet and custody infrastructure with deployment-dependent direct-custody, custodial, and embedded modes; it is not a consumer wallet and must remain infrastructure-only.

Backup and keys

Fireblocks documents self-serve and partner disaster recovery but the correct recovery path is determined by the institutional deployment, not by a single universal seed phrase.

Security and privacy

Institutional MPC/TSS and governance reduce single-key and single-operator risk but introduce deployment, quorum, insider, policy, cloud, API, provider, recovery, regulatory, and business-continuity dependencies.

Privacy note
The platform may power a customer's self-custody or custodial product, so provider data flows must be separated from end-user custody claims.
