# Palisade

> Launch and scale new digital asset business models

Palisade is a digital asset wallet infrastructure provider offering MPC-based wallet APIs for payments and stablecoins. It serves fintechs, payment providers, and crypto-native companies, and now operates as part of a larger custody provider following an acquisition.

Palisade is a digital asset infrastructure company that builds wallet technology for businesses moving money at scale. It offers a wallet as a service platform built around multi-party computation, giving companies programmatic control over wallet creation, transaction signing, and policy enforcement through an API. Its tools are aimed at fintechs, payment providers, and other businesses that need to provision and manage large numbers of wallets quickly and securely.

The platform addresses the wallet layer as a common bottleneck in digital asset payment systems, where slow signing, weak policy controls, or limited compliance tooling can undermine an otherwise well designed payment flow. Palisade's architecture combines a zero trust security model with multi-party computation based key management, enabling fast transaction signing alongside configurable approval workflows. It also integrates compliance monitoring and multi-chain asset support so that wallets can operate across a range of supported networks while meeting regulatory expectations.

The offering covers fast wallet provisioning, multi-chain asset management, and connectivity to decentralized finance protocols, alongside governance features for organizations managing many wallets and users. It has been used by fintechs, crypto-native firms, and corporates building payment systems, tokenization platforms, and other applications requiring rapid wallet issuance. Palisade was acquired by a larger digital asset custody provider, and its wallet technology now operates as a wallet as a service offering integrated into that provider's broader custody and payments platform.
