The missing layer in multichain Web3 security: Why DWallet Network is betting on Zero Trust

Multichain is the future of Web3. But every bridge, wrapper, and messaging protocol introduces a tradeoff — usually in the form of trust.

In my latest conversation with Omer from DWallet Network, we dove into why traditional security models aren’t enough in a multichain world, and how their new architecture — built on a novel 2PC-MPC protocol — aims to bring Zero Trust to Web3.

What’s the problem?

L1 blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin are trustless by design. If you sign a transaction with your private key, the network validates it — no middlemen, no permissions.

But once you bridge assets across chains, you reintroduce trust. You’re now relying on a handful of validators, a bridge protocol, or a messaging layer — a castle-and-moat setup that’s inherently vulnerable. And if attackers break in, the honeypot is wide open.

Billions have already been lost this way.

DWallet’s solution: Zero Trust, enforced cryptographically

DWallet Network introduces a system where:

Every transaction must be signed by both the user and the network
The network is a group of validators using MPC (Multi-Party Computation) to co-sign
Without the user’s participation, nothing moves

This makes hacks like protocol takeovers or smart contract exploits significantly harder to execute — because even if the code is compromised, you still need the user to act.

Why it matters

This 2PC-MPC model could become foundational for:

Institutional custody
Multichain DeFi protocols
Rollup sequencing control
Cross-chain asset management

And the best part? It’s being built in a permissionless, tokenized way — with integrations already announced with Sui, Aptos, Monad, Avail, and others.
