How It Secures
We never invent our own cryptographic techniques.
Decentralized Network
We are the core developers of Mixin Kernel, a developer-friendly network with lightning-fast speeds and zero transaction fees, powered entirely by decentralized nodes. We build all our products directly on Mixin Kernel, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular blockchains.
Decentralized Wallet
Mixin Safe and Mixin are self-custodial crypto wallets, with built-in multisig, MPC, timelock, and other mature decentralized technologies. Your assets are always under your control.
Decentralized Apps
Based on our decentralized network and wallets, developers have built many popular products and services. These decentralized apps can support trading, lending, payments, and many other use cases.
Built on decentralized networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and combined with key sharding, multisig, smart contracts, timelocks, MPC, and end-to-end encryption, we provide a one-stop crypto service with security at its foundation.
Network Security
It is a developer-friendly network with lightning-fast speeds and zero transaction fees, powered entirely by decentralized nodes.
Punitive PoS
Each Mixin Kernel node requires 13,439 XIN, which is approximately 1.5% of the network stake. The Kernel BFT consensus is secured by a strict punitive PoS. If a Kernel node is determined to be an attacker, all of its collateral will be recycled to the mining pool.
TEE
Mixin uses Intel SGX as the implementation of TEE to further enhance security. All full nodes must run in a trusted execution environment to ensure that the "running code" of the full node is indeed the "code it claims to be running", and no one can change the code running in the trusted execution environment without being noticed.
Light Witness
Mixin Light is a simplified payment verification (SPV) node for Mixin Kernel. It typically stores all of its unspent outputs for easy account balance queries. The Light Witness actively monitors Mixin Kernel and is scheduled to vote automatically on attacker appeals.
Wallet Security
A self-hosted crypto wallet with built-in mature decentralized technologies such as multisig, MPC, and timelocks.
Cold Wallet Security
Mixin Safe is a multisig cold wallet based on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other networks. It provides you with a secure multisig cold wallet service by combining multiple signatures, timelocks, MPC, threshold signatures, segregated witness P2WSH, and hardware wallet technologies.
Technical Details
Decentralized Recovery
Mixin Safe provides a decentralized recovery solution based on the Bitcoin network. You can set up a decentralized recovery plan for your wallet, and you can also help your friends recover their wallets.
Technical DetailsService Security
Based on our decentralized network and wallets, developers have built many popular products and services.
Asset Segregation
User wallet assets and app assets are isolated, and users can directly receive assets in their wallets after trading, lending, minting, etc.
Code Audit
Trail of Bits, CertiK, Ackee, Wizardsardine, IOActive, Least Authority, and SlowMist have conducted thorough audits of Mixin.
Read-Only Authorization
Mixin's read-only authorization lets apps offer personalized features for users, but it cannot transfer user assets.
DeFi Whitelist
Mixin Safe's DeFi services use a DeFi whitelist strategy to help users reduce potential risks, such as risky approvals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't hesitate to contact us if you can't find your answers here.
Why is Mixin Safe safer than a single hardware wallet?
Mixin Safe's multisig and timelock technology effectively avoids single points of failure, such as the loss or damage of a single hardware wallet device, while maintaining decentralization and greatly improving wallet security.
If the Mixin team dissolves, can I still withdraw my assets?
Yes. Your assets remain safe. You can withdraw them at any time with your wallet private key and the decentralized MPC network. Even if the Mixin Safe team is disbanded, your assets remain in your hands.
If my private key is lost and the timelock expires, can the Mixin Safe team take my assets?
No. The Mixin Safe team has only 1 key, which is insufficient to move your assets unless you have set up a recovery or inheritance plan.
Is Mixin Safe a custodial wallet?
No, Mixin Safe is a decentralized non-custodial multisig wallet solution.
What is the difference between a traditional MPC wallet and Mixin Safe?
Mixin Safe combines MPC, hardware wallets, multisig, and timelock technology, benefiting from the strengths of each while avoiding their drawbacks.
