The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, with innovation spreading across multiple blockchains. Yet, for institutions navigating this fragmented ecosystem, managing assets across disparate networks has remained a persistent challenge—until now.
With the groundbreaking integration between Qredo and MetaMask Institutional (MMI), organizations can now access every Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain through a single, secure wallet. This marks a pivotal shift in how funds, traders, and market makers interact with DeFi—offering unified control, enhanced security, and seamless cross-chain operations.
Supported chains include Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, and OKEx Chain, among others—all accessible from one interface.
Bridging the Interoperability Gap
The crypto ecosystem has long been siloed. Each blockchain operates independently, requiring its own dedicated wallet and access protocols. While retail users may juggle a few chains manually, institutional players face operational inefficiencies when scaling across networks.
Imagine a hedge fund running yield strategies on Fantom, executing high-frequency trades on Arbitrum, and providing liquidity on Polygon—all while needing separate signing mechanisms, custody solutions, and governance workflows for each chain. The lack of interoperability introduces friction, increases risk, and limits strategic agility.
This fragmentation intensified in recent years. In early 2021, Ethereum dominated DeFi with nearly all $10 billion+ Total Value Locked (TvL) concentrated on a single chain. Today, that value is distributed across over a dozen EVM-compatible networks, each hosting billions in assets.

Without cross-chain compatibility, institutions are forced to choose between security and scalability—or rely on complex, custom-built infrastructure. The Qredo and MMI partnership directly addresses this gap by enabling seamless interaction across the entire EVM ecosystem.
Unlocking Institutional-Grade DeFi Access
By leveraging EVM compatibility, Qredo and MetaMask Institutional deliver enterprise-level liquidity management across all major smart contract platforms. This isn’t just about convenience—it's about unlocking new financial primitives for professional crypto participants.
Why EVM Compatibility Matters
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) serves as the runtime environment for smart contracts—the foundational code behind DeFi protocols like Uniswap, Aave, and Compound. As the most widely adopted virtual machine in blockchain, EVM powers not only Ethereum but also over 80% of leading alternative blockchains.
This shared architecture means that any tool built for the EVM can function across multiple chains with minimal adjustments. By unifying access to all EVM-compatible networks, Qredo enables institutions to:
- Deploy capital instantly across sidechains (e.g., Polygon), L2 rollups (e.g., Arbitrum), and independent EVM chains (e.g., Binance Smart Chain).
- Bridge assets efficiently between chains, reducing slippage, latency, and opportunity cost.
- Enforce governance policies using Qredo’s decentralized Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology—ensuring no single point of failure in transaction signing.
This level of integration empowers funds to diversify strategies without multiplying operational overhead. It also opens doors for smaller or emerging EVM chains to attract institutional liquidity—fueling broader ecosystem growth.
How It Works: Unified Access Through Advanced Infrastructure
In January 2022, MetaMask Institutional rearchitected its custodial framework, decoupling wallet accounts from individual EVM networks. This foundational update allowed Qredo to build a multi-chain signing layer powered by Infura’s node infrastructure.
Infura provides reliable RPC connectivity to every major EVM chain. When combined with Qredo’s MPC-based signature engine, it enables:
- Secure transaction signing across any EVM network.
- Broadcasting transactions to custom RPC endpoints.
- Non-custodial asset control with institutional-grade policy enforcement.
Organizations can define approval workflows, set spending limits, and require multi-signature authorization—all within a decentralized framework. Because private keys are never stored or exposed (thanks to MPC), the risk of theft or internal fraud is dramatically reduced.
This architecture delivers what institutions demand: security, scalability, and autonomy—without sacrificing decentralization.
Access All EVM Chains From One Wallet
With the Qredo-MM Institutional integration, managing cross-chain portfolios becomes as simple as managing a single-chain wallet. Whether you're rebalancing stablecoin allocations across Avalanche and Fantom or deploying new strategies on emerging L2s, everything happens through a unified interface.
Key benefits include:
- Single point of control: Manage assets across Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, and more—all from one dashboard.
- Cross-chain governance: Apply consistent security policies and approval hierarchies regardless of chain.
- Reduced operational burden: Eliminate the need for multiple wallets, seed phrases, or isolated custody setups.
For institutional investors, this means faster execution, lower counterparty risk, and greater flexibility in capital allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an EVM-compatible blockchain?
A: An EVM-compatible blockchain is a network that can execute smart contracts written for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This includes chains like Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and Arbitrum—allowing developers and users to leverage familiar tools and protocols across different ecosystems.
Q: How does MPC enhance wallet security?
A: Multi-Party Computation (MPC) splits cryptographic key shares among multiple parties. No single entity ever holds the complete key, eliminating single points of failure. Transactions require collaborative signing, making theft or unauthorized access extremely difficult.
Q: Can I use this solution for non-EVM blockchains?
A: Currently, the integrated wallet supports only EVM-compatible chains. Support for non-EVM networks (like Solana or Bitcoin) would require separate integration due to differing architectures.
Q: Is my private key ever exposed during transactions?
A: No. Thanks to MPC cryptography, private keys are never generated in full or stored anywhere. Signing occurs through secure computation across distributed nodes, ensuring maximum protection.
Q: Who should use this multi-chain wallet solution?
A: This solution is ideal for institutional investors, hedge funds, trading desks, and DeFi platforms that require secure, scalable access to multiple EVM-based ecosystems without compromising control or compliance.
Q: How do I get started with the Qredo and MetaMask Institutional integration?
A: You can join the beta program directly through Qredo’s official website to gain early access to the full suite of multi-chain institutional tools.
