馃攼 Custody Crisis Solved
**Zenrock** introduces a new approach to crypto custody that eliminates the need for trusted custodians. **The Problem:** - Wrapped assets rely on centralized custodians and multisigs - Bridges get hacked regularly - Users must trust companies with their keys **Zenrock's Solution:** - **DCT (Decentralized Custody Token)** standard - Uses distributed MPC (dMPC) technology - Private key shares split across independent operators - No single party controls keys **Key Features:** - Assets secured by cryptography, not trust - Uses simple wallet addresses (EOAs) instead of custom contracts - Runs on zrChain, a Delegated Proof-of-Stake network - Global validator set with $100B+ cumulative stake **Currently Live:** - zenBTC: yield-bearing wrapped BTC on Solana - zenZEC: wrapped ZEC on Solana Zenrock makes custody open, composable, revenue-generating, and decentralized. Ankr now validates the network as it scales. [Learn more](https://www.zenrocklabs.io/)
