Qredo and MetaMask Institutional now offer a groundbreaking solution: access all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains through a single wallet. This innovation enables funds, traders, and market makers to deploy assets across DeFi applications within the entire EVM ecosystem—secured by decentralized MPC and managed through Qredo’s industry-leading signature controls.
Supported chains include Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, and OKEx Chain, among others.
Bridging the Interoperability Gap
The crypto market has long suffered from fragmentation, with isolated blockchains operating like walled gardens. While some traders farm yields on Fantom or test derivatives strategies on Arbitrum, institutions face hurdles in cross-chain asset portability due to counterparty risks.
This challenge intensified in 2022 as DeFi activity spread across diverse chains: nearly a dozen networks now host over $10 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), compared to Ethereum’s dominance in early 2021.
Why EVM Compatibility Matters
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) serves as the decentralized computer powering smart contracts—the backbone of DeFi. Supporting 80%+ of major blockchains, EVM compatibility allows Qredo to unify liquidity access across EVM chains, revolutionizing institutional DeFi by enabling:
- Seamless multi-chain transactions (e.g., Polygon sidechains to Binance Smart Chain).
- Rapid asset bridging between EVM chains, minimizing friction.
- Custom governance policies for EVM assets, secured by Qredo’s decentralized Multi-Party Computation (MPC).

Institutional DeFi: New Frontiers
Qredo’s integration with MetaMask Institutional (MMI) unlocks cross-chain liquidity for funds, exchanges, and market makers:
- Unified Access: Execute trades across all EVM chains via a single interface.
- Efficient Bridging: Move assets between chains without delays.
- Liquidity Redistribution: Boost smaller EVM chains by channeling institutional capital.
How It Works
In January 2022, MetaMask Institutional revamped its custody architecture, freeing accounts from chain-specific restrictions. Leveraging Infura’s nodes, Qredo’s MPC signatures now enable transactions across any EVM chain via custom RPC URLs, offering unmatched multi-chain flexibility.
