Crypto-focused MPC developer raises $40M
Multi-party computation (MPC) developer MPCH Labs has concluded a Series A funding round totaling $40 million ahead of the planned launch of its Fraction digital asset operating platform later this year.
The funding round was led by Liberty City Ventures, the same venture studio that incubated MPCH Labs, with additional participation from QCP Capital, Global Coin Research, Polygon Studios, Quantstamp, LedgerPrime, Animoca and others. To date, MPCH Labs has raised $50 million in venture financing.

According to Cat Le-Huy, MPCH Labs’ chief product officer and co-founder, Fraction was designed to enable wider crypto adoption and will be launched sometime in the fourth quarter of 2022.

"The policy engine for MPC6 can be used for any purpose where it makes sense to cryptographically bind multi-faceted and multilayered approval processes."
