ChainIT Launches Biometric Organizational MPC Wallets for Web3

The production system binds biometric authentication directly to per-transaction governance checks across isolated AWS enclaves.

Key points

  • ChainIT introduced production-ready organizational MPC wallets requiring biometric authentication and transaction-specific approvals [1].
  • Signing relies on two-party MPC distributed across isolated AWS Nitro Enclaves to generate Ethereum-compatible signatures [1].
  • The wallet feature launched Oct. 6, 2026, at no additional charge for ChainIT organizational identity profiles [1].

ChainIT Inc. rolled out production availability of its organizational Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets on Oct. 6, introducing a biometric verification architecture that requires verified personal authority prior to signing enterprise transactions [1]. Announced during TOKEN2049 Week, the launch pairs the company's passwordless ChainIT ID mechanism with operation-specific authorization protocols rather than relying on persistent session privileges or shared company credentials [1].

Under the wallet's architecture, users authenticate via biometric liveness, device verification, and cryptographic proofs outside of the isolated signing environment [1]. An isolated AWS Nitro Enclave, functioning as the Primary enclave, validates that the approving party is an active, authorized member of the organization whose permissions align with the exact transaction requested [1]. Each individual approval is single-use and expires after a short duration [1]. The underlying private key is never reconstructed; instead, two-party MPC signing is executed across two distinct AWS Nitro Enclaves, which generate a standard Ethereum-compatible signature without either party holding the complete key [1].

Governance and Agentic Roadmaps

The infrastructure incorporates governance rules covering officer registrations, role updates, and wallet policy modifications, mandating authorized verification whenever permission structures change [1]. The production deployment complements emerging developments in smart account infrastructure, including passkeys and account abstraction, by removing static passphrases that remain vulnerable to phishing or credential sharing [1]. ChainIT stated that the capability is included at no extra cost in its organizational digital identity profiles, with existing organizational wallets currently undergoing migration [1].

While this initial rollout handles transactions approved by human operators, ChainIT noted that automated executions managed by artificial intelligence agents operating within predefined limits are being developed and tested independently [1].
