Halliday MPC Wallet Challenges
As a Web3 gaming infrastructure platform for NFTs, Halliday works to support new blockchains popular for gaming dApps in the ecosystem. To securely support their partners, Halliday wanted to find an MPC wallet solution for their partners transacting on StarkEx. Initially, there were no MPC wallets on the market supporting Starkware and the option to build a solution in-house was considered but came with its own challenges.
