Where multisig starts to break down

Multisig leaves teams managing separate wallet setups per chain, approving transactions without verified context, and rebuilding governance whenever anything changes. With Fordefi we help you achieve: 

Workspace Continuity  

Native vaults across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Cosmos, Sui, and more from one platform. 

Governance above the wallet 

Define rules by asset, amount, counterparty, or contract method. Automate routine approvals and route sensitive actions to a quorum, with an admin quorum protecting the rules themselves.

Know what you are signing 

Decoded transaction details, expected asset changes, and risk alerts surface before any signature is collected, independent of the signing interface.

Rotate signers without redeployment 

Update thresholds, swap signers, and adjust permissions at the platform level without touching wallet addresses or redeploying contracts.

Fordefi's relentless focus on innovation, combined with their unwavering commitment to DeFi security and education, sets a new standard for excellence in the industry.
