AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
MPC This is a custody method that divides a private key into multiple parts and stores them separately. Before a transaction is signed, the system verifies it according to preset rules and requires the specified number of signatures to be reached.
Why it matters to readers
This indicates that Google is developing a digital-asset custody service for financial institutions, but the product has not yet been officially commercialized, and its pricing and some areas of future support remain unknown.
You can think of it as a multi-party joint custody solution for digital assets: the entire private key is not stored in one place alone.
