Threshold MPC vaults, same console

Add an MPC vault next to your HSMs: key shares split 2-of-3, with state, latency and lifecycle tracked like any other vault.

The problem

Vault economics no longer hold at scale

BSL 1.1 and per-client-token pricing turn secrets into a recurring tax.

Enterprises that grew on HashiCorp Vault now face unsustainable run-rate as every workload token becomes a billable client. The pressure is commercial and operational, not cryptographic.

  • BSL 1.1

    The MPL cost model teams budgeted against is gone.

  • Per-client tokens

    Every workload token shows up as a billable client.

  • HSM unseal

    Seal-wrap still assumes a hardware budget you may not want.

  • API lock-in

    Leaving Vault usually means touching application code.
