A Dfns alternative with operations and payments included
Dfns offers wallet-as-a-service with MPC key management. Chainvara covers the same wallet infrastructure and adds everything around it — policy engine, approvals, batch payouts, partner settlement, screening, Travel Rule and reconciliation — so you do not assemble the operations layer yourself.
Chainvara vs Dfns
- A co-signer you can verify
- Policy before every signature
- Payments, not just custody
- 58 mainnets, one API
Why teams choose Chainvara over Dfns
- 01
A co-signer you can verify
One dependency-free file, published on npm and GitHub with its SHA-256 and a provenance attestation tying each version to its source commit. It decodes every transaction and refuses anything you did not approve.
- 02
Policy before every signature
Per-transfer and daily USD limits, allowed destinations only, velocity rules, approval tiers and a kill switch — enforced on your side, not just ours.
- 03
Payments, not just custody
Batch stablecoin payouts, @handle partner payments with net settlement, sweeps, gas stations, Travel Rule and screening — the operations layer, built in.
- 04
58 mainnets, one API
Ethereum and every major EVM chain, Solana, Bitcoin, Tron, XRP Ledger, Stellar, Aptos, Sui, TON, Litecoin and more, with real per-chain transaction decoding.
- 05
An exit plan in the box
Register an offline recovery key; the console exports your share of every wallet sealed to it, and an open recovery tool rebuilds each private key on your own machine.
- 06
Start in minutes, not sales calls
Sign up, build on test networks for free, go live when you are ready. The whole API, SDKs and the co-signer are public.
Being fair
Where Dfns fits
Dfns is a fit for teams that only need a wallet/key-management API and will build approvals, payments and compliance on their own. Features and pricing of other providers change often — check their current documentation. This page describes what Chainvara does today.
