Utila
Utila
Utila is a digital-asset operations platform for institutions, built on MPC (multi-party computation) technology that splits the private key across multiple parties, removing the single point of failure. It provides wallets, treasury management, payments and stablecoin operations via API and advanced gas management, and is used by over 200 institutions. It is not an end-consumer service but an infrastructure for companies that need to move and secure digital assets.

FAQ
Can an individual use Utila?
No. Utila is a B2B platform for institutions (exchanges, fintechs, corporate treasuries) that need to manage digital assets. It is not a wallet or account for the end consumer.
Does Utila custody my funds?
Utila uses an MPC model in which the private key is split across multiple parties: the institutional client retains control of its assets rather than handing them to a single third-party custodian.
