The most common mistake CTOs make when evaluating a crypto wallet development company is asking questions like How quickly can we go live?
Speed is essential, but resilience, modularity, and security are of even greater importance. The right questions help penetrate marketing fluff and reveal how compliant, future-proof, and technically proficient the provider is.
Here are some technical questions CTOs should ask, and why it matters:
1) What kind of wallet architecture are you using - MPC, multi sig, HSM, or hybrid?
The wallet architecture is at the core of the wallet, and affects everything from private key security to recovery logic to latency. MPC (Multi-Party Computation) is quickly becoming the de facto standard in the industry, built on the idea of minimizing single points of failure.
- How do authentication, session management, and API authorization work?
Is 2FA optional or part of the framework? How do they handle custom authentication flows? How sessions are created and expired?
- What blockchains are natively supported and how do they onboard new ones?
Do they support Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Solana, and future Layer 2s, such as zkSync and StarkNet? Can they do cross-chain transfers or token bridges through the API?
- Is the system API-first? Do you provide webhooks and SDKs?
Wallet platforms should provide API documentation (in RESTful, GraphQL, or WebSocket formats) and SDKs in the most commonly used programming languages.
These questions force any crypto wallet development company to expose their technical bones.
A good vendor will not be defensive; they will welcome these questions.
The more you ask now, the less you regret later.
