Frequently asked questions
Who runs Fordefi?
Fordefi does not publicly name its founders or executive team on its website. The firm describes itself as having a team of cryptographers, blockchain engineers, and cybersecurity veterans but has not disclosed individual leadership bios as of mid-2026.
Does Fordefi manage assets or operate as a fund?
No. Fordefi is a technology infrastructure provider — an MPC wallet platform — not an investment fund or asset manager. It does not take custody of client assets, make investment decisions, or disclose any AUM. Client funds remain under the client's control using Fordefi's self-custody architecture.
How does Fordefi's security model differ from a traditional custodian?
Fordefi uses multi-party computation (MPC) so that private keys are split into cryptographic shares and never assembled in one place. The firm combines MPC with hardware isolation and biometric authentication, and clients can self-custody backup key shares or use a third party for independent disaster recovery. Fordefi completed a SOC 2 Type II audit by Ernst & Young and a penetration test by Skylight Cyber.
Which types of institutions use Fordefi?
Publicly named clients include crypto-native hedge funds (Ouroboros Capital, Theia), quantitative investment firms (Liquibit Capital), a digital asset market maker (Keyrock), and a web3 venture firm (DeFiance Capital). These institutions use Fordefi for DeFi trading, treasury management, and secure self-custody of digital assets.
Does Fordefi participate in fund commitments or direct deals?
No. Fordefi is an infrastructure platform, not an allocator. It does not make fund commitments, take equity stakes in portfolio companies, or deploy capital into liquid or illiquid strategies.
