Rome, Italy – Colossus Digital, a leading blockchain infrastructure provider, has announced new advancements in raw signing security, addressing key misconceptions and enhancing transparency for institutional players.

These innovations ensure that raw signing is an integral part of a broader and deeper security framework, capable of being executed in a way that is both efficient and verifiable.

The Importance of Blockchain Signing for Institutions

As enterprises increasingly engage with blockchain technology, the security and efficiency of transactions become paramount. However, common misconceptions regarding signing mechanisms can lead to incorrect applications, potentially jeopardizing blockchain integrity and putting assets at risk.

Recognizing this need, Colossus Digital, a company specializing in institutional-grade blockchain solutions, has developed expert-level solutions to mitigate these risks.

Enterprises typically maintain strict internal controls and prefer working with a minimal number of trusted parties. In the context of blockchain transactions, this translates to a preference for a small, well-defined group of individuals authorized to sign transactions.

However, in the case of a third-party dApp, an additional layer of trust is introduced, as it mediates the transaction request from the enterprise to the validator. This can create an attack surface, especially if the dApp is malicious or compromised.

Moreover, common third-party tools like Safe{Wallet} or WalletConnect introduce dependencies that can be exploited. For instance, Safe{Wallet} is a browser extension requiring an extra step for setup and maintenance, potentially increasing the risk of an attack. Similarly, while useful for connecting different wallets, WalletConnect introduces another component that needs to be configured and trusted.

Key Features Implemented by Colossus Digital

To address these challenges, Colossus Digital has developed a suite of specialized services that address the growing demand for secure, scalable, and efficient blockchain solutions.

The company's Institutional Hub is a platform that allows institutional players to stake assets directly from their custody solution, bridging the gap between custodians and validators. This enables institutions to generate yield from custodial assets while maintaining full control over their security infrastructure.

To further strengthen security and transparency, Colossus Digital has introduced several key features:

• Eliminate any unnecessary layers: Every additional layer or step introduces a potential attack surface. The Institutional Hub does not rely on third-party dApps, widgets, iFrames or smart contracts. It keeps the focus on raw readable transactions crafted in a secure environment. It also minimizes attack surfaces: by not relying on third-party tools like Safe{Wallet}, and WalletConnect, the Institutional Hub does not introduce any additional layers that can be tampered with.

• Multi-Party Crafting: Transaction approvals and signing processes have strict rules, policies and complex quorum requirements, while transaction crafting is left to a single point of trust. The Multi-Party Crafting feature enables institutions to securely manage and craft transaction signing requests across multiple participants. It is a unique cryptographic feature that allows multiple parties to cooperate asynchronously to construct a valid transaction, provided all shares are consistent. Otherwise, the process fails and terminates. Colossus Digital improves the ability to distribute the control ensuring that security is robustly maintained even in the presence of malicious actors.

• Transaction Lens provides complete visibility into blockchain transactions, allowing users to verify raw transaction data (e.g., addresses, function calls, amounts, and other transaction details) before signing. Signers can confirm that the transaction is exactly what they intend to approve, eliminating risks of blind signing. Transaction Lens enables real-time transaction analysis, helping institutions detect anomalies and optimize processes for higher efficiency and security.

• Simulation Environment: This feature lets users test and simulate blockchain transactions before deploying them on a live network. This pre-deployment simulation is essential for identifying potential issues or vulnerabilities. By providing a secure space for simulations, Colossus Digital helps its clients avoid costly mistakes and ensure the security and integrity of their transactions.

• Decoder: It enhances security by enabling institutions to decode and analyze blockchain transaction data before execution. This tool flags potential anomalies and ensures data integrity, helping institutional clients mitigate risks associated with complex transaction structures. It adds an additional layer of security to the signing request process.

These advanced security measures reflect Colossus Digital's commitment to innovation in blockchain infrastructure. By providing transparent, verifiable, and secure transaction signing, Colossus allows institutions to operate in the Web3 ecosystem confidently.

Securing the Future of Raw Signing

For institutional clients, two critical aspects are security and operational transparency. Colossus Digital's advanced signing solutions directly address these concerns by:

• Focusing on a minimal set of trusted parties: The company's solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing institutional security and operational frameworks.

• Detecting anomalies and malicious actors: Transaction Lens provides an extra layer of defense by enabling the detection of anomalies or malicious activity in transactions before signing.

As a leading blockchain technology provider in the EU, Colossus Digital is at the forefront of bridging the gap between complex blockchain technologies and enterprises, ensuring institutional players can leverage
