OPZ

INTRODUCTION

What is OPZ and why is it needed?

The OPZ Wallet is our answer to the growing need for a more user-friendly and resilient self-custodial wallet. Powered by our KeyFusion protocol, this is a form of MPC (Multi-Party Computation). The wallet combines advanced security features with intelligent, AI-driven insights.

 

Addressing the Self-Custody Challenge
Traditional self-custody solutions present significant usability and security challenges. Users often struggle with managing and safeguarding their mnemonic phrases, leading to risks of loss or theft of assets. The OPZ Wallet, utilizing advanced MPC technology, overcomes these challenges by providing a simple-to-use self-custodial wallet without compromising the security that is fundamental to its purpose.

 

Key Features of OPZ Wallet
Ease of Use:

Designed with the user in mind, OPZ Wallet simplifies managing digital assets. It eliminates the need for users to store and remember complex mnemonics, reducing the risk of asset loss.

Web3 and dApp Integration:

Secure interaction with decentralized technology by Multi-Factor Authentication. This allows users to fully leverage the benefits of blockchain and smart contract functionality without compromising the security of their assets.

Advanced AI Technology:

Introducing OPZ-AI, where the future of crypto analysis means staying ahead, covering over 10,000 coins with real-time, actionable insights.

OPZ-DEX: First-of-its-kind platform that leverages the robustness of Bitcoin's Layer 2 to offer decentralized spot, and derivatives products.

 

Advantages over traditional Custodial Solutions: Striking a balance between user autonomy and security. 
Unlike traditional exchanges or custodial services, OPZ empowers users with control over their assets without the typical complexities and risks associated with self-custody.

 

OPZ's mission is to accelerate the transition to self-ownership of assets by bridging the gap between the cryptocurrency industry and the traditional financial world. This includes simplifying the key management process, providing clear guidance, and developing more intuitive interfaces that meet users' expectations of traditional banking and online financial services.

Introduction to KeyFusion
KeyFusion is the next generation of private key security.

The KeyFusion protocol is a form of MPC (Multi-Party Computation) developed by OPZ. Offering users a highly secure, exceptionally fast, and simple solution to store and transfer digital assets while maintaining quick and easy access. 

 

There has been a growing interest in Multi-Party Computation (MPC) in recent years due to its potential to enhance privacy and security. As a subfield of cryptography, with MPC, the private key is broken into multiple shares, encrypted, and divided among several parties. This enables multiple trusted parties to collaboratively perform computations on private data without disclosing any information about the data to other participants. 

 

This means the entire key is never present on any device. However, the trusted parties can still come together to sign a transaction. This shifts the key protection concept from relying on a single trusted third party to secure your key. This eliminates typical single point of failures and tedious setup and recovery schemes.

 

Understanding the Risks of Private Keys
Private Keys form a significant vulnerability. Cybercriminals and internal threats often target private keys to gain access to wallets that control blockchain-stored funds.

Common methods of compromising private keys include:

Malware infections on servers to steal private keys.

Unauthorized use of a Hardware Security Module (HSM) authentication token to authorize fraudulent

transactions.

Theft of private keys by authorized internal employees.

 

Usability Challenges in Traditional Self-Custodial Wallets
The Risk of Loss: A fundamental issue with mnemonics is the risk of losing access to funds. Users unfamiliar with the concept of self-custody often expect wallet providers to reset their passwords, similar to traditional financial services. This misconception can lead to a complete loss of assets if the mnemonic is forgotten or misplaced, as there is no way to recover the keys without it.

The Challenge for Mass Adoption: While traditional self-custody may be suitable for sophisticated users with a deep understanding of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the complexity and risk associated with mnemonic management discourage many potential users, slowing down the integration of these technologies for widespread adoption.

 

Our MPC Solution offers:
Full Control with usability and security that matches that of exchanges, including:

Multi-blockchain support

Enhanced security, performance, and flexibility 

Multiple backup and restore options

Multi-Factor authentication

Lower fees than Multisig transactions.

Recover your private key at any time.

OPZ is committed to making self-custodial wallets more accessible without compromising the security that is fundamental to its purpose.
