Blocky saysMPC wallets split a key into shares so no single party ever holds the whole key.
Multi-Party Computation wallets never assemble a full private key anywhere. Instead, key shares are distributed (across devices/servers), and signing is computed jointly without reconstructing the key. Like multisig it removes single points of failure, but it appears as one normal address and works across chains. It's popular with institutions and modern consumer wallets for seedless recovery.
