## Products

- [HOT Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hot_labs): HOT Wallet is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet integrating directly into Telegram Mini Apps and available as a browser extension. The wallet enables asset management across multiple chains and EVM-compatible networks through a unified interface. Features include built-in DEX aggregation for token swaps, cross-chain bridging, NFT support, staking pools, and fiat on-ramps via debit cards. The wallet stores private keys locally on user devices with optional MPC security layer, password protection, and 2FA authentication. Users access the wallet through Telegram handles formatted as username.tg addresses on supported blockchains. (Wallet, Live, Main Product)
- [HOT Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hot_labs): HOT Protocol implements decentralized Chain Signature infrastructure through MPC validator networks, enabling programmable wallets to execute transactions across multiple blockchains. The system distributes private key segments across independent validator nodes using Multi-Party Computation, allowing secure transaction signing without single-point vulnerabilities. Protocol features include replaceable seed phrases, programmable 2FA authorization, cross-chain gas abstraction through HOT Relay, and smart contract interfaces for custom access control. Validator nodes operate with end-to-end encrypted communication and participate in transaction signing through collateralized HOT token staking. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live)
