01

Partisia has been pioneering zero-knowledge computation since 2008 with the first large-scale and commercial use of MPC documented in the landmark paper “MPC goes live”.

Partisia also pioneered MPC based key management that was moved to a separate spin-out in 2013 and exited in 2022. Partisia is currently pioneering the merger of distributed ledger and MPC technologies to tackle the pressing requirements facing all basic digital infrastructures.

02

The historical R&D efforts include all aspects from designing better protocols, implementing these protocols and bringing them to real life use.

Since the first real use of MPC, the Partisia team has been behind a large part of the R&D efforts that has reduced the computational overhead to less than 1/1.000.000. The unique innovative ledger based platform curates efficient execution of MPC while securing transparency as a regulatory feature required for building trust.

03

Partisia has participated in numerous public and private funded R&D projects from broad large scale projects with many partners to focused projects with few participants.

The many R&D projects have contributed to the design of better protocols and platforms to commercially maturing products.
