This update covers both August and September, two months defined by collaboration.
What began as a community exercise led by Pitbull and Cryptid, who gathered improvement requests across Partisia Blockchain community channels, evolved into a structured process. Those requests were added to a shared Favro board, and after review by the leadership team, Peter, Yusef, and Mathias, several were prioritized and integrated into the roadmap.
This roadmap influence is now visible in the features and performance updates released over the past two months.
The result: a series of concrete updates across the protocol, products, and ecosystem.
Delegators can now clearly see where their tokens are staked and reclaim them more easily.
If a delegation hasn’t expired, you can lower the expiration date and partially retract your stake.
If it has expired, you can disassociate the tokens directly on behalf of the node.
👉 Why it matters: Previously, users had to rely on manual checks or ask node operators for help. Now, both delegators and node operators can manage their stakes directly from the browser.
An automated daily APR calculation is now live inside the Partisia Blockchain Browser.
Rewards update automatically, no more manual recalculation or community spreadsheets.
👉 Why it matters: This makes yield information transparent and consistent for everyone, simplifying the experience for new delegators.
The list of known external chains is now visible directly in the BYOC Orchestrator contract state.
New chains can be added dynamically, and reader nodes must now fully sync before upgrading to producer nodes, improving network reliability.
👉 Why it matters: Makes interoperability easier to monitor and manage, while tightening node-level quality control.
A new “replay mode” allows nodes catching up to the network to skip unnecessary event processing. The mode triggers automatically based on how far behind a node is.
👉 Why it matters: Greatly reduces the time and resources needed to get new or restarted nodes up to speed.
Multiple performance enhancements landed in parallel:
👉 Why it matters: These backend upgrades translate to a smoother experience across wallets, dApps, and node operations.
👉 Why it matters: Developers gain clearer, safer, and more flexible ways to build and test smart contracts.
A request from builders running liquid-staking contracts led to a new cancel_pending_unlock function.
The update was implemented and tested, allowing our ecosystem partner Scepter to complete the first successful mainnet contract upgrade on Partisia Blockchain.
👉 Why it matters: This marks an important proof point, builders can request protocol-level changes and see them delivered to mainnet.
The Execution Engine (EE) documentation and templates have been fully reworked to make deployments smoother on both Testnet and Mainnet.
Beyond clearer setup guides, the Execution Engine now stands at the center of many upcoming integrations, including its use in idOS, which relies on EE for secure, privacy-preserving computation.
👉 Why it matters: By improving accessibility and support, more teams can now deploy their own engines and bring advanced MPC logic to mainnet.
The launch represents a major step toward privacy-preserving digital identity within the Partisia Blockchain ecosystem.
August:
September:
Next (This October):
Team Finance is integrating its token management suite into Partisia Blockchain. Smart contracts are being tested, and the front-end is under design. Once live, builders will gain access to token minting, vesting, staking pools, and liquidity-lock tools natively on Partisia.
Crowdsnap advanced its MPC-secured Proof of Humanity system:
The past two months turned direct feedback into production updates.
Delegators gained clarity and automation, builders received new tools and contract functions, and the network itself became faster and more robust.
Meanwhile, ecosystem partners, from idOS to Crypto Factor, brought live use cases that extend privacy, identity, and liquidity across the Partisia Blockchain.

July delivered concrete progress across public chain development and ecosystem partners. CryptoFactor prepared for their August mainnet launch, Sceptre completed final testing for liquid staking, and we finished our annual technical roadmap with community input integrated throughout the process.
The month also brought browser improvements that address specific user pain points, from testnet onboarding to stake visibility.
Here’s what happened in July and what’s coming next.
Crypto Factor’s InterChain protocol entered its final preparation phase. The CFR dApp is completing final integration with the new InterChain operator protocol. Gas optimizations are targeting 20-30% fee reductions from testnet versions.
August plan:
Mainnet beta will be available for registered participants once deployment is complete. Please contact us via official channels to request beta access.
Sceptre completed final preparations for liquid staking launch. All wallet integrations are finished. Final testing is complete. Launch expected soon.
Users will stake MPC tokens and receive sMPC tokens that accumulate staking rewards while remaining liquid for use across other protocols.
“Sceptre will give MPC holders a way to earn staking rewards while keeping a token (sMPC) that allows them to participate in other protocols on Partisia,” says Joel Monteiro, Head of Marketing at Sceptre.
We finished the Annual Technical Roadmap (July 2025–June 2026) in July. Community input was collected, reviewed for technical feasibility, and integrated into development priorities.
Detailed timelines and features will be announced soon.
We awarded Crowdsnap a grant to build a Proof of Humanity solution. AI tools can create fake identities to manipulate surveys. Traditional verification systems expose biometric data or use centralized authorities.
Crowdsnap’s solution uses MPC to generate biometric hashes from speech recognition and facial detection. No single party sees raw biometric information. This verifies human identity without exposing personal data while meeting data protection regulations.
July updates:
Testnet gas distribution: New users on testnet can now get gas automatically. This enhances the developer experience for those testing applications and streamlines the onboarding process for ecosystem builders.
Gas activity fixes: Fixed gas activities showing wrong signage, improved accuracy in transaction history, and fee tracking for better transparency.
UI improvements: Resolved token and gas balance overlapping on small screens, enhancing the mobile browsing experience. Added helpful tooltips for block producer icons on the accounts/node-operators page.
Association spread visibility: Association spread is now shown on the jobs tab, which is part of the broader “Make it easier to understand where stakes are and make it easier to get them released” roadmap task. Additional improvements in this area are planned for the following weeks.
Previous improvements for context:

Strategic collaboration introduces Multi-Party Computation capabilities to Xenea’s growing ecosystem of storage, identity, and AI infrastructure projects
Digital assets today face a fundamental infrastructure problem: you can’t have both persistent storage and data privacy. Current blockchain storage solutions either expose sensitive information to ensure data permanence, or they rely on centralized systems that can fail, leaving digital assets as broken links.
This trade-off has prevented adoption of blockchain technology, where compliance frameworks require both long-term data persistence and strict privacy controls.
Today, Partisia Blockchain announces a strategic partnership with Xenea to explore bringing confidential compute capabilities to Xenea’s ecosystem. This collaboration creates the potential for projects building on Xenea’s chain to access privacy-preserving computation alongside generational data persistence.
Xenea has built something unique in blockchain infrastructure: an EVM-compatible Layer 1 with integrated Decentralized Autonomous Content Storage (DACS) that ensures digital assets and their data remain permanently linked.
However, persistent storage creates new privacy challenges. When sensitive data must be stored and accessed for decades, property valuations, medical records, and financial audit trails, traditional encryption isn’t sufficient. Data processed across multiple storage nodes over generations can expose patterns, metadata, and access behaviors that compromise confidentiality.
This is where Partisia’s MPC technology becomes essential for Xenea’s vision. Instead of encrypting data at rest, MPC enables confidential computation during data processing and migration. Sensitive information can move through Xenea’s generational storage system without ever being exposed, even during the computational processes that maintain data integrity and accessibility.
“Xenea is addressing one of web3’s core infrastructure gaps: autonomous, persistent decentralized storage. Our collaboration leverages Partisia’s Blockchain critical layer of secure, privacy-preserving computation enabling Xenea’s decentralized storage to not only be resilient and scalable, but compliant for global, real-world adoption. A step forward to a more trustworthy digital future for everyone,” said Yusef Fanous, CCO at Partisia Blockchain.
Uhara Tokuro, Co-Founder and CEO of Xenea, emphasized the regulatory focus: “We aim to advance decentralized storage to comply with personal information regulations in each country, such as GDPR. Partnering with Partisia Blockchain is a crucial step toward achieving our goals.”
This partnership aligns with Xenea’s roadmap toward public mainnet launch in Q4 2025, which will deliver an EVM-compatible Layer 1 with integrated decentralized storage. With their public testnet launching in Q3 2025, this collaboration positions privacy-preserving capabilities at the foundation of Xenea’s infrastructure as they transition to their public phase. Learn more about Xenea’s development timeline at their updated roadmap.
Xenea is a future-proof infrastructure that integrates a Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain with decentralized dynamic storage. Built for scalability, security, and sustainability, it solves key limitations of traditional systems by enabling editable permanent storage, cross-chain compatibility, and deep decentralization through wallet-powered nodes. Xenea redefines data ownership, allowing individuals and businesses to manage and safeguard their data with autonomy, addressing persistent challenges in permanence, availability, and compliance.

You’ve heard the stories of a lost laptop, a forgotten seed phrase, a wallet left unrecovered with serious funds inside. No one thinks it will happen to them, but it happens every day. And very often, it comes down to one thing: skipping the backup.
This guide is here to help you avoid being the next cautionary tale on Crypto Twitter. Regardless of what wallet you’re using, we’ve got you covered, with clear steps and essential tips to help you back up your wallet the right way. It’s one of the most important things you can do in web3.
In web3, your wallet is more than just a way to store assets. It’s your on-chain identity. It’s your access pass to dApps, protocols, and decision-making.
And in self-custodial environments, that responsibility is amplified. There’s no support line to call. No password reset option. You’re the only one who holds the keys, and the only one who can protect them.
Why It Matters: When you hold your own keys, you’re in control, and solely responsible for access and recovery.
Koala Wallet
Want peace of mind? Back them up now. Test your recovery if you haven’t.
Don’t:
Do:
Pro Tip: If your backup lives on the internet, it’s not a backup. It’s bait.
Even with the best intentions, things go wrong. If you’ve already lost access or want deeper recovery options, these guides and community resources can help:
You’re not just saving a file. You’re practicing sovereignty. Partisia runs on MPC and privacy-enhancing tech because we believe you should control your data and assets. Whether you are signing transactions, running MPC, or interacting with on-chain applications, access starts with your keys, and ends if you lose them.
Backing up your wallet is the most underrated move in crypto. It’s your firewall against regret.

This month, we’ve got a bonus update, combining both May and April’s developments, which brought meaningful activity across key areas, from builder progress and infrastructure updates to increased visibility and engagement.
Staking rewards are now distributed weekly, a shift from the previous quarterly cycle. The process is now automated, simplifying how rewards are paid moving forward.
zkCross is live on mainnet, with a major upgrade on the way. The upcoming release will introduce a streamlined UI, improved liquidity flows, and built-in migration tools. In the meantime, users can already explore the DEX, including how to add liquidity, swap assets, and navigate the current interface.
→How to Use zkCrossDEX on Partisia: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cross-Chain Swaps
Meanwhile, teams like Sceptre and CrowdSnap continued progressing toward the mainnet and expanded real-world development.
And Messari, one of the most influential research firms in crypto, published a full-length report on what they call Privacy 2.0 and DeCC (Decentralized Confidential Compute), highlighting Partisia Blockchain as a leader in an important evolution within web3, where computation itself becomes private, not just transactions.
Here’s an excerpt from the report: privacy isn’t just about hiding transfers anymore, it’s about making computation confidential by default. MPC, ZK, FHE, and other cryptographic tools are forming the basis for a new layer of infrastructure.
Partisia was featured as the only live L1 using MPC at the base execution layer.
If you’re here, you’re early.
→ Read the report
We also hosted a two-hour community AMA, a wide-ranging session that reflected strong engagement and set the stage for more structured formats ahead.
Speaking of the community. May was also the month of the “catch of the day” sticker. A quick moment in Telegram, where a suspicious alt got called out by a team member, turned into a meme, then a sticker, then a bit of lore. No roadmap required.
→ Not in Telegram yet? That’s where a lot unfolds in real time.
→ Join Our Community
Ecosystem development in May spanned everything from backend architecture to user-facing dApps. Here’s how it breaks down:
→ Strengthening the foundational rails for DeFi, liquidity, and privacy-preserving applications built with MPC.
→ Extending Partisia Blockchain’s utility across networks, assets, and DeFi primitives.
You can support builders by:
– Following them on X: zkCross, Boosty Labs, Sceptre, CryptoFactor, Koala Wallet, CrowdSnap
– Website: zkCross, Boosty Labs, Sceptre, CryptoFactor, Koala Wallet, CrowdSnap
– Sharing and amplifying their work across your own networks
→ May brought changes to Partisia Blockchain staking, browser tools, and node operations, mostly focused on automation, transparency, and better developer control.
Staking rewards are now issued weekly, replacing the previous quarterly cycle. The first round of weekly staking rewards has been distributed, covering Week 144 (ending March 2nd).
The process is automated, no intervention is required from node operators. Rewards are finalized each Sunday, with payout transactions executed by the Partisia team.
Work continues on improving the Partisia Blockchain Browser, with a focus on usability and clarity for everyday users.
Node ops and stakers are seeing expanded tools, from reward automation to manual controls and visibility.
Developer experience (DevEx) continues to mature, with better contract tools and support for more advanced Rust features.
The smart contract playground has also received bug fixes and support for new Rust versions, streamlining everything from concept testing to deployment.
→ In parallel with progress across our builder ecosystem, May also brought enterprise pilots, product delivery for identity protocols, and solutions that support regulatory requirements.
Toppan: A Real-World Digital Identity Pilot Built on Partisia Blockchain
Toppan is a major Japanese multinational with over $10B in annual revenue, and with a long history in security printing, identity systems, and digital infrastructure. They provide ID solutions for both governments and enterprises across Asia and Latin America.
In May, Toppan announced a digital identity pilot in collaboration with Partisia Infrastructure (PI) and Partisia Blockchain (PBC). Launching at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), a Japanese university, this June. The pilot aims to deliver privacy-preserving digital student credentials.
What’s Being Built
Students will receive credentials (e.g. enrollment confirmation, qualifications) they can share securely, without exposing sensitive personal data. The design uses zero-knowledge proofs and MPC key management, handled entirely on-chain.
Who’s Doing What
This shows how real services can operate on PBC independently, a model that scales to future adopters.
→ PBC Announcement
→ Toppan Press Release (JP)
idOS is a decentralized identity protocol for managing encrypted data and cross-chain credentials. In May, the team began integrating Partisia’s MPC-based key management into their access layer.
What’s Being Built
Instead of storing data on-chain or relying on static keys, idOS will use MPC to dynamically decrypt only what a user consents to share, and only for the intended app.
Who’s Doing What
Why It Matters
This reflects real product-market fit for decentralized identity, something many DID frameworks have failed to prove. This partnership isn’t limited to technical integration, it places Partisia at the heart of a growing ecosystem for self-sovereign identity. By bringing MPC to the protocol level, Partisia helps make sensitive data programmable, cross-chain, and access-controlled, without depending on centralized storage or key-sharing models.
A new pilot launched in collaboration with TERA Batteries, DuoKey, and Quantum Brand Protection (QBP) is exploring how to meet EU sustainability requirements without disclosing proprietary vendor data.
What’s Being Built
This “Battery Passport” system validates claims (e.g. material origin, recycling compliance) using MPC proofs, keeping internal data private while meeting audit needs.
Who’s Doing What
Why It Matters
It shows how MPC can enable regulatory compliance with enterprise-grade solutions without requiring vendors to expose sensitive competitive information, a key blocker in B2B adoption.
→ A moment of stronger visibility, deeper engagement, and clearer community feedback loops.
Scheduled for one hour, the session ran closer to two, a reflection of the range of questions and engagement across the community.
Hosted by Chief Commercial Officer Yusef Fanous, the AMA brought together:
Topics Discussed
Telegram Moment of Appreciation
A few days before the AMA, a Telegram exchange surfaced an alt account moment, which quickly became the “Catch of the Day” sticker. It got a nod during the AMA, capturing something of the current community rhythm: direct, participatory, and not without humor.
What’s Next
The AMAs will continue, alongside follow-ups, builder sessions, and more structured ways to surface questions and close feedback loops across the ecosystem.

Listen to All Things Partisia Blockchain AMA – 28th May, 2025
No filters. No softballs. Just straight answers.
Partisia Blockchain held its most open and wide-ranging AMA to date. We scheduled one hour. We stayed for two. We had a lot to discuss with the community after all.
Hosted by Chief Commercial Officer, Yusef Fanous, the session brought together voices from across the core team:
— Peter Frandsen, Co-CEO of both Partisia Blockchain Foundation and Partisia Infrastructure
— Mark Bungard, CPO at Partisia Infrastructure
— Mathias Glintborg, Head of Product at PBC
The conversation ranged from serious topics like grants, adoption strategies, long-term funding, to lighter moments, like the community “catch of the day” moment a week prior, useful for alts that are a bit of pain.
Some tough questions and some unexpected moments from a session that was part retrospective, part reset, and all Partisia.
One of the most commonly discussed themes in our community, and a question pre-submitted for the AMA by Hasi, from Crowd Snap, was this:
“PBC is chasing commercial partnerships, which is good. But most of those big companies are too process-oriented, and deliveries are slow. Why not invest in ecosystem builders with fair grants like stablecoins to encourage development?”
It’s a topic that’s come up often, and one we were glad to address.
Mark pointed to the year-long progress with Toppan, a major identity player in Japan, as an example of patient, high-impact engagement. The goal? Scalable, interoperable identity infrastructure that can be adopted across jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks:
Mark emphasized that while the timelines are longer, enterprise adoption comes with durability, and the potential to bridge into regulatory and cross-border conversations where privacy and compliance are critical.
Mathias reassured the community that grants aren’t being ignored; in fact, Partisia has already supported core infrastructure within DeFi:
These efforts, while quieter than enterprise headlines, are a necessary part of the core DeFI infrastructure and help enable incentive opportunities, like liquid staking, LP pools, and future integrations across DeFi protocols.
“We already spoke to some of the major stablecoin providers… Circle, Tether, and others. Many of them would like to mint natively on Partisia Blockchain. That’s a big engagement, it takes time, and it has to make sense.”
Yusef rounded out the segment by explaining that Partisia’s grant strategy is selective by design, to avoid “grant farming”. We achieve that by asking: does it align with our strategy? Does it use MPC? Does it drive real activity on-chain?
“Grants are tricky. There’s a trend in the industry where projects just hunt grants, but they don’t have anything to do with the chain. They just want quick cash. So what we’ve done is shift it towards grants that are aligned. We ask: does it align with our strategy? Does it have an MPC use case? Does it drive on-chain transactions? Is it part of our infrastructure focus? And if the answer is yes, then we look to support.”
He also hinted at a growing preference from some projects for deeper collaboration over surface-level grants: teams coming to Partisia Blockchain not for quick funding, but for access to tech they can’t find anywhere else, like the key management solution we’ve developed with idOS.
Regardless of where the questions began, liquidity, token unlocks or DeFi traction, many naturally converged around a key focus: on-chain activity. The community is eager to track it, contribute to it, and help accelerate it. The team approached this theme head-on. Peter Frandsen put it bluntly:
“If we can’t drive on-chain activity, everything else is irrelevant. That’s the existential risk.”
Community members like Cryptid, FunnyMoney, and Manny voiced concern over the absence of what they called “the basics”: DEX liquidity, real ecosystem usage, and clearer product visibility.
Yusef Fanous acknowledged the sentiment, but offered a clear perspective by stating that we’re not here to fake volume or wash trade tokens just to create an illusion of activity. We’re doing things the right way, real users, real builders, real infrastructure. And when we market, we want the funnel to land somewhere valuable.
Mathias Glintborg then added product context, reminding the community of the improvements already live (to the block explorer, smart contract playground, delegation tools), and upcoming UX upgrades.
Behind the scenes, initiatives are also underway:
In short: things aren’t stalled, they’re staging. With DeFi rails taking shape and real traction in DID and RWA use cases, the groundwork is actively being laid for the next wave of adoption.
The Foundation is actively progressing in the right direction across all fronts.
The energy of this AMA was driven by one thing: a community that showed up with questions, direct feedback, and expectations.
The team engaged openly, sharing updates, answering tough questions, and aligning with the community on what matters most.
Governance and Token Unlocks?
When community members raised the idea of unlocking vested tokens, or putting the decision to a vote, Peter Frandsen clarified the mechanics behind such a move, emphasizing that it’s not up to the Foundation alone. Any fundamental change would need to go through proper governance procedures, reflecting the true ethos of decentralization.
“It’s not the foundation’s decision. It’s up to the network. But yes, there’s a way to create proposals, and we’ll help you navigate that.”
Improved visibility for node ops around how governance proposals can be initiated, and an open door to help route them through the right channels.
For detailed instructions, you can refer to the documentation here.
Feedback Loops Are Being Formalized
Yusef Fanous outlined his approach for community involvement going forward:
He acknowledged that marketing won’t be aggressive until the product layer can fully absorb attention, but also affirmed his commitment to bottom-up communication.
“If there’s feedback, constructive feedback, we’re happy to receive it. It doesn’t mean it’ll be implemented immediately, but we’ll pass it through the right teams.”
And yes, about that sticker…
A nod to a former contributor whose questionable sock-puppeting was caught mid-chat by Yusef, and immortalized in sticker form.
This AMA wasn’t just a Q&A, it was a long-overdue signal of a shift in approach. A moment that reflected what many in the community have been asking for: open dialogue, honest feedback, and shared direction across the ecosystem.
An inflection point, and the start of doing more of this, together.
The topics ranged wide: tokenomics, privacy education, DEX liquidity, and long-term sustainability. But throughout, the message from the team was consistent: we’ve heard you, and we’re acting.
Community builder projects like CryptoFactor and CrowdSnap took the mic to share what they’ve been working on:
Both projects expressed excitement about the progress being made, highlighting smoother tooling, growing support, and their eagerness to launch products into the Partisia ecosystem. Now it’s over to the community. You can support builders by:
Early traction is a team effort, and your support makes a difference.
Why hasn’t the team launched a DEX themselves? Why not market more aggressively now?
Peter Frandsen and Mark Bungard were clear: regulatory and compliance constraints matter, especially from Europe.
“Deploying a DEX isn’t just a tech decision. It’s a regulatory one. And yes, we’re working with external entities who can move faster in the right jurisdictions.”
Yusef Fanous addressed the recurring call for bigger marketing efforts, framing it around timing and infrastructure:
“Even the best campaign won’t land if the funnel leads nowhere. Our job is to build the surface area first, so when we amplify, it converts. That means focusing on the product and use cases first, but it doesn’t mean staying quiet. In parallel, we’re actively investing in community engagement, co-marketing with partners, and content creation across channels.”
For anyone who tuned into the full two hours, or even just read this far, it’s clear: this AMA marked a shift. Not just in tone, but in how Partisia Blockchain engages with the very people helping build it, our community, our node ops, our early believers.
The conversations weren’t always easy. That’s the point. Real questions were asked. Straight answers were given. And in between memes, critiques, and clarifications, we are building a better environment for a stronger community.
We’re not just building tech. We’re building alignment.

Digital identity (DID) has been a perennial weak link in Web3. Password‑less log‑ins, privacy‑by‑design, and strict compliance frameworks (GDPR, MiCA) have each begun to be solved in isolation, but never together. The idOS and Partisia partnership changes that.
idOS is a chain-agnostic, user-controlled decentralized identity system; Partisia Blockchain supplies a production‑hardened MPC layer that shards and safeguards every private key.
The result is the first fully open, zero‑custody identity stack able to scale from indie dApps to enterprise‑grade deployments.
Thanks to Partisia’s key abstraction, users can manage their idOS data securely without having to download new identity wallet software or remember a password; a simple signature with their wallet of choice will suffice. Partisia will be implemented as a native module within the idOS Storage Network, the L1 blockchain at the heart of idOS. Partisia struck the right balance of security, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to other TSS-MPC providers, and we benefit from their collective decades of cryptography research and implementation leadership.”
Ben Basche, idOS CPO
Millions of wallets, hundreds of blockchains, and still the same awkward dance: copy a seed phrase, re‑upload documents, hope nothing gets lost. Web3 has delivered on transparency but fallen short on reusable privacy‑preserving identity. Every attempt so far has had to juggle three goals that rarely align:
Most solutions pick two and leave a gap. idOS covers usability and compliance, but securing the underlying keys, without adding a central custodian, remained unsolved. That is where Partisia’s fifteen‑year battle‑tested Multi‑Party Computation (MPC) fits in.
idOS is backed and governed by the idOS Consortium, including leading web3 projects like NEAR, Ripple, Arbitrum, and Circle, and serves as the identity layer for apps across multiple chains. Its modular SDK enables developers to integrate reusable, verifiable credentials, streamlining data access management for apps.
Users control their data by granting access via wallet signatures. Credentials are encrypted, reusable, and shared across apps with minimal friction.
Partisia Blockchain brings a production‑grade MPC engine. In practice, it slices every private key into cryptographic shards and distributes them across independent validator nodes. No shard, on its own or in any minority coalition, reveals anything useful. The key is only re-assembled in memory for milliseconds, under quorum, and never lives in a single place.
The net result is the first identity network where:
Traditional custody stores an encrypted key on a server. Lose the server, lose the key.
MPC treats the key like a jigsaw puzzle:
Because Partisia designed its public blockchain around MPC from day one, latency stays low enough for real‑time authentication, a critical point for consumer dApps.
Early pilots with consortium members will stress‑test the stack this summer; public onboarding is slated for Q4 2025.
Once the heavy cryptography is in place, new primitives become trivial, particularly with developments like GODS Network:
Each layer compounds the previous one, nudging web3 closer to a world where identity is flexible and composable, not captive or confined to any single ecosystem
Closed beta with consortium dApps is expected in Q3 2025. This will be followed by the release of the public SDK and docs in Q4 2025 as the early pilots begin stress testing the solution.
For years, decentralised identity talked about self‑sovereignty while leaning on centralised key stores or fragile seed phrases. By merging idOS’s user‑friendly credential system with Partisia’s production‑proven MPC, the partnership turns that rhetoric into concrete infrastructure—one that developers can call with a few lines of code, and that users never need to think about.
If the launch delivers on its roadmap, the bigger win isn’t just safer logins; it’s laying a cryptographic foundation sturdy enough to let identity and privacy finally scale together.
idOS is a decentralized, chain-agnostic identity layer designed to give users control over their data. It allows individuals to create, own, and manage verifiable credentials that can be reused across blockchains and dApps. With privacy and security as core principles, idOS ensures sensitive information stays encrypted and in the user’s control. Developers and enterprises can access compliant identity solutions while minimizing friction and simplifying integration with their modular SDK.
Partisia Blockchain is an innovative data ownership and privacy-preserving layer-1 blockchain built for real-world utility. Combining zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation (MPC), it empowers developers and enterprises to build decentralized applications with data privacy at the core.
