In the fast-evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), access, security, and interoperability are no longer luxuries—they’re necessities. For institutional investors like funds, traders, and market makers, navigating a fragmented blockchain landscape has long been a complex challenge. But now, a groundbreaking solution is here: a single wallet to access all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchains.
Powered by the strategic collaboration between Qredo and MetaMask Institutional (MMI), this innovation unlocks seamless, secure, and scalable cross-chain functionality across the entire EVM ecosystem.

Bridging the Interoperability Gap
The crypto ecosystem has evolved into a patchwork of isolated networks—each with its own native assets, applications, and wallet requirements. While Ethereum remains foundational, DeFi activity has exploded across numerous EVM-compatible chains such as Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, and OKEx Chain.
Today, nearly a dozen blockchains boast over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL)—a dramatic shift from early 2021 when Ethereum dominated alone. This diversification is healthy for decentralization but introduces complexity: how do institutions efficiently manage assets across chains without sacrificing security or operational efficiency?
Traditionally, moving between chains meant using separate wallets, managing multiple private keys, and relying on centralized bridges that introduce counterparty risk—unacceptable for institutional-grade operations.
Now, with Qredo’s integration into MetaMask Institutional, organizations can transcend these silos. A single wallet interface grants unified access to all major EVM chains, eliminating the need for fragmented tooling and reducing operational overhead.
Unlocking Institutional-Grade Multi-Chain Access
This new capability isn’t just about convenience—it's about empowering institutions with secure, compliant, and efficient pathways into the broader DeFi economy.
Why EVM Compatibility Matters
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the engine behind smart contract execution on Ethereum and most leading blockchains. As the most widely adopted blockchain virtual machine standard, over 80% of top DeFi platforms run on EVM-compatible networks.
By standardizing access across all EVM chains, Qredo and MMI enable institutions to:
- Deploy capital across any EVM chain, from high-throughput sidechains like Polygon to low-cost Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum.
- Bridge assets quickly and securely, minimizing slippage, latency, and lost opportunities due to delayed transfers.
- Manage governance and signing policies for any EVM-based asset using Qredo’s decentralized Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology—a quantum-resistant alternative to traditional custody models.
This level of integration doesn’t just benefit large players; it also injects much-needed liquidity into emerging EVM chains, accelerating innovation across the DeFi landscape.
How It Works: Unified Access Through Advanced Infrastructure
The foundation of this breakthrough was laid in January 2022, when MetaMask Institutional rearchitected its custodial account model. Unlike retail MetaMask wallets tied to individual networks, MMI’s updated framework decouples accounts from specific chains—enabling true cross-chain flexibility.
Qredo leverages this upgraded architecture in combination with Infura’s robust node infrastructure, a trusted backbone of Ethereum and EVM-based networks. This integration allows Qredo to:
- Sign transactions off-chain using MPC-powered threshold signatures.
- Broadcast signed transactions to any EVM chain via custom RPC endpoints.
- Maintain full control over asset routing without relying on third-party bridges or custodians.
As a result, institutions gain non-custodial yet policy-controlled access to every major EVM network—from Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain to emerging ecosystems like Fantom and Avalanche—all through one secure interface.
This isn’t just multi-chain support—it’s institutional-grade composability at scale.

Access All EVM Chains from One Wallet
With the Qredo-MMI integration, organizations no longer need to juggle multiple wallets or compromise on security for accessibility. Whether you're:
- A hedge fund deploying capital across yield-generating protocols,
- A market maker arbitraging price differences between chains,
- Or a trading desk managing diverse portfolios in real time,
—you can now execute strategies across the full EVM spectrum from a single, secure wallet environment.
All actions—from transaction approvals to governance voting—are protected by Qredo’s decentralized MPC network. This means no single point of failure, no exposed private keys, and customizable signing policies that align with internal compliance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which blockchains are supported by this multi-chain wallet?
A: The solution supports all major EVM-compatible chains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, and OKEx Chain—with seamless extensibility to new EVM networks as they emerge.
Q: Is my private key ever exposed during transactions?
A: No. Using MPC cryptography, private keys are never stored or transmitted. Instead, signatures are generated collaboratively across distributed nodes, ensuring maximum security.
Q: How does this differ from using a regular MetaMask wallet?
A: Unlike consumer MetaMask wallets tied to one chain at a time, MetaMask Institutional—combined with Qredo—offers cross-chain capabilities, advanced access controls, audit trails, and enterprise-grade security tailored for organizations.
Q: Can I manage governance participation across different DAOs using this wallet?
A: Yes. You can securely vote in DAOs across any EVM chain, with signing rights governed by your organization’s predefined approval workflows.
Q: Is this solution non-custodial?
A: Absolutely. Assets remain under your control at all times. Qredo enhances security without taking custody—aligning with DeFi’s core principle of self-sovereignty.
Q: How do I get started with the Qredo and MetaMask Institutional integration?
A: Institutions can apply to join the private beta program to gain early access to this powerful multi-chain toolkit.
The Future of Institutional DeFi Is Unified
Fragmentation once held back institutional adoption of DeFi. Now, with unified access to all EVM chains through a single, secure wallet interface, those barriers are falling.
This advancement marks more than a technical upgrade—it represents a shift toward interoperable, secure, and scalable DeFi infrastructure built for professional finance.
As more capital flows into decentralized ecosystems, tools that combine ease of use with ironclad security will become essential. The Qredo and MMI partnership delivers exactly that: one wallet, endless possibilities across the EVM universe.
