The Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Network manages signing keys. By running an MPC node inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), the protocol achieves stronger security guarantees while lowering economic requirements for participants. The NEAR Protocol provides a decentralized and efficient state layer. Key management can be integrated with any smart contract across Stellar, TON, Solana, and EVM-compatible networks.","short_abstract":"HOT Protocol provides the infrastructure that allows smart contracts to securely own and manage private keys.
