# Mixin > Secure and grow your crypto wealth with decentralization Mixin is a company offering self-custodial crypto wallet and asset management services. It provides multi-party computation wallets, fiat-to-crypto purchases, and collaborative custody tools for individuals and businesses. Mixin is a company that builds self-custodial crypto wallet and asset management software, classified as a custody and wallet provider. Its products let individuals, families, and businesses hold, trade, and transfer digital assets while retaining control of their private keys. The offering combines messaging, wallet, and trading functions in a single application aimed at users who want practical control over their holdings without relying on a centralized custodian. The core wallet relies on multi-party computation to split key management across devices and a decentralized network, addressing the single point of failure common to conventional hot wallets. Recovery and inheritance features let users regain access to funds through emergency contacts or pass assets to heirs without exposing a single private key. The company also operates a public distributed ledger that settles transactions for its wallet and messaging products, and it has obtained licensing that allows it to offer regulated services in some jurisdictions. Mixin offers a multi-signature cold storage product for shared custody, tools for collaborative fund management among family members or colleagues, and services for purchasing cryptocurrencies with a bank card. The company is developing staking and collateralized lending features. Its products are used by individual holders seeking private, self-custodied storage as well as families and small organizations that need shared control over pooled crypto assets. - Type: Company - Sector: Custody and Wallets - Status: Active - Founded: 2017-10-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin ## Products - [Mixin Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): Mixin Network is a layer-1 blockchain that uses a proof-of-stake, BFT-DAG consensus architecture to settle transactions with sub-second finality. It supports asset transfers across a large number of blockchains through trusted execution environments, allowing value to move between networks without traditional bridging. The network processes transactions with no transaction fees and serves as the settlement layer underlying other Mixin products. (L1, Live) - [Mixin Messenger](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): Mixin Messenger is a self-custodial crypto wallet combined with an end-to-end encrypted messenger built on the Signal protocol. It uses multi-party computation for key management, letting users hold and transfer assets across many blockchains, sign transactions, and interact with decentralized applications directly from the app. Users can buy crypto with fiat through integrated on-ramp partners, swap and trade assets including perpetual contracts with privacy-preserving execution, and recover access through social recovery methods rather than a single seed phrase. Additional features include Lightning Network support for instant Bitcoin payments and fee-free transfers within the network. (Wallet, Live, Main Product) - [Mixin Safe](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): Mixin Safe is a self-custodial multi-signature wallet that secures Bitcoin using timelock scripts combined with multi-party computation key management. It requires multiple approvals from a defined set of keys to authorize a spend, distributing control so no single party, including the operator, can move funds alone. The product supports collaborative fund management for families, teams, and businesses, along with decentralized recovery and inheritance workflows for long-term holders. (Multi-Sig Wallet, Inactive/Support Ended) - [Mixin Route](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): Mixin Route is an on/off ramp service that lets users purchase cryptocurrency with fiat through card payments and mobile wallet checkout methods, converting funds into assets such as bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins. It routes purchases into a self-custodial wallet built on Mixin Network so users retain control of the assets they buy rather than holding a balance with the provider. The service targets individuals seeking a straightforward way to enter crypto markets without sacrificing custody of their funds. (On/Off Ramp, Live) - [MixPay](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): MixPay is a merchant payment gateway that allows businesses to accept cryptocurrency payments and settle them automatically into stablecoins or other preferred assets. It routes transactions through Mixin Network, enabling cross-chain payment acceptance without requiring merchants to manage multiple blockchain integrations directly. The service provides API integration for e-commerce and other online platforms to embed crypto checkout into existing payment flows. (Merchant Payment Gateway, Live) ## Assets - [Mixin (XIN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixin): XIN is the native token of Mixin Network, a layer-1 blockchain using Proof-of-Stake consensus with a BFT-DAG architecture. It is used to collateralize full nodes, pay DApp creation fees, and participate in governance on the network. XIN's role as node collateral ties its utility directly to the security and operation of the network.
