GK8 by Galaxy has integrated its unlimited MPC (uMPC) technology with the Avalanche blockchain, providing institutions secure access to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. This integration enables users of GK8?s custody platform to deploy digital assets into liquidity pools, staking protocols, and other DeFi services through MetaMask Institutional (MMI), a multi-custodial web3 wallet. DeFi continues to provide alternatives to traditional finance, with Avalanche emerging as a preferred blockchain for these applications due to its low transaction fees, near-instant finality, and compatibility with Ethereum-based smart contracts.
By adding Avalanche support, GK8 enables institutions to interact with DeFi securely and efficiently while following strict custody and compliance standards. GK8?s uMPC technology allows for an unlimited number of co-signers, with cryptographic key shards distributed globally or locally, on-cloud or on-premise, and secured by hardware security modules (HSM). This infrastructure is designed to meet evolving regulatory requirements while maintaining operational flexibility.
