DAVOS, 17 JANUARY 2024. Today in Davos, Partisia Blockchain unveiled its latest product – MOCCA (MPC On-Chain Custody Advanced solution). The MOCCA solution revealed during the World Economic Forum is a decentralized and fully programmable multichain custody solution designed to redefine the landscape of securing digital assets and ease custodial management.
The key differentiators of MOCCA from the existing custody solutions are its decentralized and enhanced programmability through smart contracts, blockchain agnostic multichain functionality, advanced security and compliance, and configurable privacy.
Peter Frandsen, Chief Technology Officer at Partisia Blockchain, says:
“MOCCA solution marks a significant milestone in the evolution of decentralized custody; it addresses the current limitations of traditional smart contracts and centralization. MOCCA empowers institutions and organizations with genuine decentralization, advanced programmability and the flexibility to secure digital assets across multiple chains. Backed by our decades-long expertise in multiparty computation (MPC), this product is our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that redefine the standards of security, compliance, and innovation in the blockchain space.”
Partisia Blockchain’s latest MOCCA product addresses the limitations of inflexible and centralized custody solutions, offering genuine decentralization while providing full programmability. This is especially beneficial for institutions, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), wallet providers and exchanges seeking trustless collaboration on securing digital assets.
The fully programmable nature of MOCCA’s custody smart contracts enable policies such as the addition or removal of signers, modification of threshold signature schemes and voting powers, integration of NFTs with special permissions, implementation of specific rules for transaction categories and much more.
Users can choose to bridge assets to Partisia Blockchain or secure assets on their preferred blockchains, offering flexibility and choice. Deployment is swift and cost-effective, directly on-chain, with customizable templates and tools. The MOCCA solution is designed to be blockchain agnostic, relying on MPC technology independent of protocol support.
Backed by 35 years of MPC research, Partisia Blockchain’s newest MOCCA solution ensures security and compliance. Advanced features, such as off-chain signing and key decentralization contribute to safeguarding substantial funds against potential threats. Public blockchains enable automatic key rotation and adjustable transparency levels, ensuring robust protection against attacks. Partisia Blockchain’s MOCCA goes beyond standard custody offerings by introducing security-audited standard policies and allowing for arbitrary code logic.
MOCCA deploys on public blockchains where its code and state are visible. However, key shards are exclusively generated and stored by users or MPC clusters, and then submitted to the decentralized MPC protocol. This allows participants to actively engage in governance and sign transactions directly on-chain—a significant advantage over commonly used TSS protocols, which are challenging to modify once deployed.
MOCCA Roadmap
Partisia Blockchain’s MOCCA represents a paradigm shift in custody solutions, offering unparalleled decentralization, security, ease and programmability. The solution is poised to meet the diverse needs of institutions and organizations navigating the complexities of managing digital assets in today’s dynamic landscape.

ZUG, 27 NOVEMBER 2023. In a groundbreaking collaboration, Partisia Blockchain and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais-Wallis) are poised to transform the management of digital identities for Swiss citizens. This partnership aims to develop a decentralized electronic identity system in harmony with the Swiss Federal Council’s unwavering commitment to data privacy and security.
This collaboration marks a significant leap toward redefining digital identity management in Switzerland. The joint project aims to empower individuals with control over their personal data, ensuring a future where privacy and security are not compromised.
The primary objective of this project is to define the architecture for a self-sovereign identity (SSI)-based electronic identity (e-ID), creating a minimum viable product (MVP) and seamlessly integrating it into a public administration portal.
The SSI solution empowers citizens by enabling them to wield credentials issued by public administrations in mobile applications, offering the autonomy to select the data they disclose when accessing services. Central to this innovation is the blockchain technology, with Partisia Blockchain at the forefront, introducing a fast, sustainable, and privacy-centric blockchain solution.
Kurt Nielsen, PhD, President of Partisia Blockchain, says:
“Our aim is to place control firmly in the hands of individuals, allowing them to become the ultimate custodians of their personal information. This approach not only enhances privacy but also elevates the level of security that individuals can expect from digital identity management.”
Partisia Blockchain, known for its proficiency in zero-knowledge and private smart contracts, provides a platform where individuals exercise absolute control over their personal data. This decentralized system ensures that the individual is the ultimate owner of their information, setting a new standard in privacy and security.
Jean-Luc Beuchat, Professor at HES-SO Valais-Wallis, says:
“We are thrilled to introduce our SSI solution, designed to provide a simple, secure, and open-source approach to digital identity management. Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from government-issued e-IDs to humanitarian aid initiatives. Our scalable solution can be seamlessly adapted to meet the unique requirements of diverse organizations.”
In response to the rejection of the Federal Act on Electronic Identification Services (e-ID Act) by Swiss citizens in March 2021, the Swiss Federal Council promptly recommended Parliament to approve six motions addressing citizens’ concerns and proposing a new e-ID Act. This led to the drafting of technical solutions by the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ), including the discussion paper on the target vision for an e-ID in August 2021. The paper outlined three technical approaches: a state identity provider, a public-key infrastructure, and self-sovereign identity (SSI). Opting for the latter approach, the Federal Council is in the final stages of concluding consultations before the year’s end.
The solution developed by Partisia Blockchain, DuoKey and HES-SO Valais-Wallis is slated for presentation to the Swiss Federal Department of Justice before Christmas. Emphasizing its various benefits, including non-disclosure of personal information, data usability for statistics and planning without revealing personal information, and its compliance with Swiss legislation, this solution aligns seamlessly with the vision outlined by the Swiss Federal Council.
The Partisia Blockchain and HES-SO Valais-Wallis’ joint solution is a pivotal moment in reshaping digital identity management in Switzerland, emphasizing a commitment to privacy, security, and a decentralized approach. The joint efforts aim to echo the Swiss regulations of data governance, prioritizing individual empowerment and stringent privacy measures.
The system relies on verifiable credentials (VCs) to ensure secure and privacy-preserving authentication along with SD-JWT selective disclosure. Managed through smart contracts deployed by a universally trusted governance framework, citizens can securely log into various web portals using these credentials. Supported by proven cryptographic techniques, this system maintains data integrity and privacy, ensuring a robust digital identity management solution.
Energy efficiency, scalability, and security have been at the core of our solution as well. Partisia Blockchain not only offers a sustainable choice but also ensures the scalability needed to accommodate any number of users while upholding the highest standards of security.
The collaboration between Partisia Blockchain, DuoKey and HES-SO Valais-Wallis marks a pivotal step forward in digital identity management in Switzerland, particularly in the context of the broader European landscape where projects, such as the European Union’s e-ID, are sparking discussions about privacy and data security. By focusing on an SSI-based e-ID and utilizing zero-knowledge and private smart contracts, this solution aims to empower individuals with unparalleled control over their personal data. This approach not only ensures robust privacy and security, but also sets a new standard in digital identity management, highlighting user empowerment and a commitment to a decentralized framework.

In all blockchains, node operators are running their nodes to operate and secure the network. And the compensation model of the blockchain allows node operators to get compensated for maintaining/operating the protocol. On Partisia Blockchain the compensation is a mix of BYOC fees and rewards in MPC tokens. Rewards come from the ecosystem pool used to bootstrap the operation of the network.
Currently the distribution of rewards is the same for staking directly by a node operator account as for any other account that delegates staking to a node operator. On the other hand, node operators receive all BYOC fees. However, at this early stage of the network the main compensation as node operator is the rewards. Hence, to make the total compensation more fair to the node operators operating the network the following adjustment will be put up for voting among node operators: 2% of the rewards gained by delegated staking to be distributed to the node operators that they are staking to. This will allow a fairer staking rewards system where the node operators running the system will be compensated by the community stakers for providing the computing power to stake their tokens to and receive rewards.
A simple example for a community staker would be if the reward for your current period was 100 MPC tokens, during the rewards computation, 2 MPC tokens will be sent to the node you are staking to, and you will receive 98 MPC tokens. This will fairly compensate the node operator for operating the blockchain you are staking to receive your reward.
If you are a node operator, you will receive 2% of all the staking reward your node account generated for all the community stakers you are supporting.
As this is a governance matter for the chain, the proposal will be put to a vote for the block producing node operators to decide on. We suggest for those who are staking, that you reach out to your respective node operators and voice your thoughts with them directly. If passed, this will be implemented as a part of the Q6 reward cycle and subsequent cycles going forward.
We hope this will help create a more fair rewards distribution as well as promote node operators to continue to promote their nodes to the community to stake to.
Thank you for your continued support!
ZUG, 18 SEPTEMBER 2023. Partisia Blockchain is proud to announce the launch of a pioneering integration with MetaMask, the leading self-custody Web3 platform developed by Consensys, opening untapped opportunities for more than 100 million users. With the introduction of MetaMask Snaps, a transformative enhancement for users, we are poised to revolutionize the world of decentralized applications.
Snaps opens a new realm of possibilities for Partisia Blockchain users by leveraging MetaMask’s trusted functionality. The initial Snap integration brings MetaMask signing to Partisia Blockchain users, and opens up an array of innovative programmable features and functionalities within their wallets. After a meticulous selection process, Partisia Blockchain was selected by MetaMask based on the Snaps integration work done by our developer team. The Snaps is set to elevate the user experience, focusing on transaction insights, interoperability with non-EVM blockchains, and notifications, offering users unprecedented control and customization.
In 2022, MetaMask surpassed 100 million users. The launch of Partisia Blockchain Snaps marks a significant milestone as millions of MetaMask users can tap onto our innovation. Each Snap selected by Consensys has undergone rigorous security audits and has been thoughtfully integrated into MetaMask’s allowlist, ensuring a secure and seamless experience for users.
Kurt Nielsen, President of the Partisia Blockchain Foundation, says: “The major driver behind the Partisia Blockchain project is the disruption of data as we know it. With the MPC-as-a-Service built directly into the Partisia Blockchain, any service on the internet can build the next generation of privacy-preserving advertisement, searching or matching services without touching the users’ data. This is a tremendous opportunity, and a large part of the motivation for building the Partisia Blockchain in the first place. While the Partisia Blockchain network is ready, we need to bring in the users of the internet and activate the users’ private data. This is the next major step and why the integration with MetaMask is a major step forward.”
The benefit of the first Snaps iteration is the ease of using MetaMask for transaction signing. It will enable users, which also use other blockchains, to employ a single trusted wallet across chains and remove friction. The ease of cross-blockchain solutions — such as bring your own coin (BYOC) and MPC-as-a-service — will be significantly more user-friendly. In the future, the Partisia Blockchain MetaMask Snap will offer more features helping users secure their confidential personal data by employing MPC technology.
The Partisia MetaMask Snaps will enable developers building on Partisia Blockchain to integrate MetaMask as the signing solution into their own dApps and establish a direct connection with their users. In the long run, users will reap the benefits of the convenience and versatility offered by Partisia Blockchain Snaps, tailored to various use cases and compatible with multiple protocols.
Kurt Nielsen continues: “The Snaps that come with MetaMask allow us to build security solutions that safely and privately bring the more than 100 million users’ data into Partisia Blockchain and the next iteration of the internet — an evolution where technology returns control and privacy to the users of the internet.”
Christian Montoya, Product Lead for MetaMask Snaps, emphasizes the importance of permissionless innovation within a decentralized system: “We believe that permissionless innovation is a cornerstone of a decentralized system — no gatekeepers. Innovation thrives at the pace of the network, not just within an individual development team at Consensys.”

Partisia Blockchain Foundation is happy to announce our grants program for the second half of 2023. We are giving out up to 3 million $MPC tokens (valued at US$1.2 million from last years public sale price of 40¢ a token) to builders that want to create something unique in the blockchain space. Something that is not possible on any other chain.
Partisia Blockchain is the worlds first blockchain that combines a generic programing language to enable a customizable secure multiparty computation (sMPC) solution into an interoperable and scalable blockchain.
Unlike other privacy blockchains that do zero knowledge proof, or only a specific MPC function, Partisia Blockchain’s research based sMPC allows for customizable solutions to fit your specific needs. With features that allow for solutions to be regulatory compliant (such as GDPR, HIPAA, etc), and fully auditable, Partisia Blockchain allows for the solution to solve problems in many use cases.
Our ecosystem is full of unique real world projects that are unique in the blockchain space. From solving for MEV attacks, tackling tender corruption in the public domain, to meeting CSRD compliancy, privatizing DAO voting to ensure integrity of the vote, our partners are not building yet another same type of application in other blockchains. And this is where we want you to come in to build something unique, something not seen in the industry.
Our grant guidelines are here, but mainly we are looking for teams that really want to create a unique solution that cannot be solved in other blockchains. We provide the infrastructure and the technology to bring these solutions to life. We are looking for teams that are really looking to stand out from other dApps, or solve for a problem that is currently not possible in other blockchains.
If you already have an existing app, you dont have to port your existing app over into our blockchain to take advantage of our MPC tchnology. You can use our MPC-as-a-Service model to request the computation as a service. Our interoperability model allows for other tokens (Eth, BNB, Polygon USDC, with more to come) to be spendable as gas on our chain, allowing flexibility to existing applications to take advantage of our technology as well.
What is your unique idea? What are some of the problems you have not been able to solve in the blockchain space? Do you want to create something unique to stand out from all the other similar dApps that do the same thing?
Lets build something different together!

15 May 2023 — Today marks the launch of the Insights Network’s Parti.com, a unique platform that empowers creators with Web3 technology and cryptocurrency transactions for content monetization. This hub for creators provides unprecedented control over their creative output, while enabling them to earn revenue through self-hosted cryptocurrency. Parti.com is built on the open-source technology of Partisia Blockchain, renowned as the world’s first privacy-preserving, next-generation blockchain. It offers multi-network currency support and affordable transactions.
Parti.com, designed to be an inclusive platform, provides users with self-custody of their funds, ensuring complete ownership and control. The platform’s ease of use, facilitated by a straightforward account setup process via Discord or Twitter login, makes it accessible to both creators and consumers.
Parti.com simplifies the buying and selling process by completely removing third parties, such as traditional banks and other Web2 financial institutions, from the monetization process. This marks the first time that creators and content consumers can interact within a completely peer-to-peer network, without payment processors or middlemen holding user funds.
One of the key features of Parti.com is the ability to create and sell NFTs directly from creator profiles, simplifying the process of content monetization. The AI Zone helps new creators generate art rapidly; thereby, democratizing the digital art landscape.
Furthermore, Parti.com breaks new ground with its application of NFTs as utility tokens, granting access to exclusive content. This concept, known as “tokengating”, is set to change the way creators engage with their audiences, fostering deep, meaningful connections. An easy-to-understand use case could involve a content creator creating a pass with a maximum of 1,000 units sold. All holders of this NFT, upon signing into their platform with their wallet, are granted access to all of the creator’s private content available on their Parti.com channel. This process, completely automated by the blockchain, creates a direct, creator-to-user connection that surpasses anything the current market offers, be it Web2 or Web3. The platform also accommodates transactions with ETH in Metamask, providing users with the flexibility to transact in their preferred cryptocurrency.
To jumpstart the network, Parti.com offers the unique “Hall of Fame” (HOF) NFT pass. This limited NFT access pass grants users master access to the entire network, enabling the first users to buy into the entire network and never have to pay for content access again. Coupled with the platform’s low transaction fees, this feature is set to redefine the value proposition for content creators and consumers. In the future, if users wish to leave the network, they can always offer the pass for sale in the upcoming NFT marketplace.
Parti tokens function as the platform’s currency, which users can use for buying and selling. Creators incur a 0.1% platform fee when selling NFTs or content in Parti tokens, compared to a 5% fee when using ETH or USDC. Although this fee model is subject to change, there is currently no fee for creators for at least the next three months, serving as an incentive to join the network early.
In essence, Parti.com is more than just a platform — it is a revolution in the creator economy. It is dedicated to providing creators with the tools they need to thrive, while offering consumers a new way to interact with and support their favorite creators. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Parti.com stands at the forefront, poised to transform the creator economy with the power of Web3.
About Parti.com: Parti.com is built by Insights Network, a web3 Company founded in 2017 and through multiple market cycles.

Partisia Blockchain’s privacy-preserving technologies support the ICRC in providing humanitarian aid to global crisis zones.
On December 2, 2022, at our first Hackathon (the “PartiHack”) in Paris, France, Partisia Blockchain and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced our partnership to harness blockchain-based technology to enable aid distribution to global crisis zones in a way that is more efficient and safer for recipients. We were proud to be able to present the working prototype of this system and to demonstrate how this technology could be used in conflict zones to ensure a high degree of privacy and data protection for relief distributions.
This amazing collaboration offers a vision of a better mechanism for providing assistance to those most vulnerable to armed conflict and violence around the world. The stablecoin we are developing in partnership with the ICRC could pilot a new way of providing support to these victims by combining the advantages of public blockchains with the privacy protections of Partisia Blockchain’s advanced multi-party computation technology.
We are incredibly excited to begin applying Partisia Blockchain’s leading technologies to create a pioneering solution with the ICRC to explore and research how humanitarian cash and voucher assistance programs can benefit from our technology. This is a breakthrough in the real-world use cases of our blockchain.
The current partnership provides a key example of the power of Partisia Blockchain’s singularly scalable, privacy-protecting, multi-party computation technology. This model, first discussed at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, also served as a key source of inspiration for developers participating in Partisia’s Hackathon, which awarded several significant grants to projects judged among the best submissions.
