The future of onchain wealth management demands more than just great yield. It requires security that scales across users, devices, and protocols. Superform is leading that charge.
Built as a DeFi app focused on helping users earn the best possible returns on stablecoins and crypto, Superform has taken a fundamentally different approach to product and infrastructure. Their platform emphasizes usability and safety in equal measure, accompanied by embedded wallets for seamless onboarding and transparent yield strategies.
But under the hood, one choice in particular sets Superform apart from other DeFi apps: a wallet architecture powered by TSS-MPC (threshold signature scheme, multi-party computation), delivered through Dynamic.
“We’ve built Superform to make it simple to grow wealth onchain, but we wanted to do it in the most secure way possible. Dynamic’s MPC infrastructure gave us exactly that.”
— Alex Cort, Co-founder of Superform
The Challenge: Building Secure and Intuitive Yield Infrastructure
There’s no shortage of ways for crypto users to generate yield in DeFi but many of these opportunities come with confusing UX and questionable security. Superform recognized the need for a simpler and more secure path forward.
Many apps struggle with clunky wallet infrastructure, inconsistent user experiences, and limited support. This leads to slow integration timelines for developers, confusing tooling, and costly third-party dependencies that get in the way of building a polished product.
Superform takes a different approach with the Superform Account, a non-custodial, chain-abstracted account that combines security and flexibility into one experience:
The Superform Account is defined by a few key features:
- Embedded wallets for quick and easy onboarding: Users can get started and log in with email or social accounts in seconds, while crypto-native users have the flexibility to connect their own external wallet.
- Security at the core of the product: Wallets are protected with secure TSS-MPC architecture, where a full private key never exists and users benefit from flexible account recovery options. Additionally, users experience increased security with passkeys and MFA.
- Built-in access control and analytics: Superform uses built-in tools to manage wallet allowlists, gate access with NFTs, and track user activity. These insights help the team shape product decisions, improve onboarding, and guide future roadmap priorities.
- A mobile-native experience: Users can access the same secure wallet and interface across desktop and native iOS and Android mobile apps, with synced balances and settings for a consistent experience.
But taking this approach alone wasn’t easy. It required a solution that could satisfy stringent security expectations while remaining developer-friendly and scalable. Striking the right balance between user experience, security, and speed proved harder than expected.
Superform explored several wallet providers before finding the right fit. Early attempts were frustrating, with feature gaps, high costs, and unresponsive support. These limitations slowed development and added unnecessary complexity at a time when the team needed to move quickly and stay focused on their core product.
“We explored and started implementing various other embedded wallet solutions. Dynamic not only had the most secure solution it had by far the best developer experience. We had a working prototype in a fraction of the time.”
The Solution: Dynamic’s Embedded Wallets with MPC
Dynamic became Superform’s wallet partner of choice, providing not just embedded wallets but also access control, authentication, and analytics.
Today, Superform utilizes Dynamic for:
Embedded Wallets, Powered by TSS-MPC
Superform’s V2 rollout brings embedded wallets to the platform, lowering onboarding friction and removing complexity for newer users. Behind the scenes, Dynamic’s TSS-MPC architecture ensures that:
- A full private key never exists, removing a single point of failure
- Audited infrastructure provides peace of mind in addition to sub-second signing
- Developers have flexibility when it comes to thresholds and security controls
- Users have multiple options for independent account recovery
This level of security helps Superform deliver not just a better product, but the peace of mind users expect when managing their assets.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes TSS-MPC stand out from other key management approaches:
Frictionless Authentication and Access Control
Superform’s onboarding and auth experience is designed to feel intuitive, without sacrificing security or user control. Dynamic powers the authentication and access control layer behind the scenes, enabling Superform to support a range of use cases:
- Wallet allowlists and gating: Superform can control platform access based on wallet addresses or onchain asset ownership. This proved especially valuable as Superform phased its platform rollout.
- Extensive wallet and chain coverage: Superform users have the flexibility to connect using the wallet of their choice. This ensures compatibility across EVM ecosystems and allows them to maintain a consistent identity without switching tools or managing separate accounts.
- Social, email, and wallet login: Users can onboard or sign in using familiar credentials, instantly creating a non-custodial wallet. This approach lowers the barrier to entry, while maintaining the control and flexibility expected by more advanced users.
Insights and Analytics
Although not the core focus, Superform uses Dynamic’s dashboard to monitor wallet activity, track identity flows, and better understand how users engage with their app. These insights help inform product decisions and reveal opportunities to improve onboarding and retention. With continued improvements to Dynamic’s analytics dashboard, Superform expects greater visibility into user behavior and platform performance.
Superior Support and Responsiveness
Dynamic consistently acts as an extension of the Superform team, helping unblock issues and implement requested features quickly. Superform engineers appreciate the fast turnaround on questions and the collaborative approach to building. Every request receives thoughtful engagement, whether it is a small fix or a strategic product improvement.
When speaking on the availability of the Dynamic team to help with issues, Alex mentioned:
“There’s no such thing as a request that goes ignored. Whether it’s help debugging, building a new feature, or just a quick answer — the Dynamic team always delivers.”
