The vault is a blockchain solution, but a truly secure custodianship needs more, meaning blockchain is just the start. Komainu combines proven cryptographic security with customizable processes, reputational assurance, and a legal framework, creating a complete solution for firms ranging from the smallest family office to the largest institutional investor.
Software, hardware, and processes. Komainu’s solution integrates all three.
A complete vault for digital assets combines software, hardware, and processes and Komainu’s solution integrates all three. Specialised software provides secure encryption and authentication between users and administrators. Custom hardware seals and hardens data, with assets held in a Secure Data Centre (SDC), protected by a Hardware Security Module (HSM) and controls operator’s interactions via a Personal Security Device (PSD). Processes, the scripts describing the asset, the governance framework it complies with, and the signing services that allow access, are designed to follow all necessary protocols and laws. This combination of custom hardware, software, and processes gives institutions the ideal infrastructure for securing digital assets both virtually and physically.
Komainu can match its structure and function.
Every client is different and so is every regulatory environment. Accordingly, Komainu lets every client interact with their vault in the way that makes sense for them—customising access and authentication processes for all authorised individuals.
Komainu’s custody solution allows clients to define every rule and trigger needed for successful completion of a transaction, including value thresholds, initial conditions, authorisation levels and whitelisted addresses.
Whatever the needs of your process, Komainu can supply the required structure and function.
All partners in Komainu bring market-leading experience to custody of your digital assets—with reputations to match.
