Building Institutional-Grade Operational Security: Utila Integrates Blockaid Cosigner

Utila integrates Blockaid Cosigner to deliver institutional-grade transaction security within its MPC wallet platform. The partnership combines Utila's enterprise custody and policy controls with Blockaid's real-time simulation and threat intelligence engine. Before execution, Cosigner simulates transactions onchain, validates outcomes against organizational policies and threat data, and automatically enforces granular security rules. This enables treasury teams, fintechs, and stablecoin issuers to eliminate the trade-off between blockchain speed and institutional security standards while maintaining seamless operational workflows.

As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates, operational security has become the new benchmark for trust. Treasury teams, stablecoin issuers, and fintechs now move billions in value daily, demanding stronger safeguards that match the scale and complexity of their operations.

Today, Utila and Blockaid are partnering to advance that standard. Through this integration, the Blockaid Cosigner is now embedded within Utila's MPC wallet platform, enabling institutional users to benefit from independent transaction validation, automated policy enforcement, and onchain simulation directly inside their existing workflows.

The Critical Gap in Digital Asset Operations

The shift from traditional finance to digital assets has fundamentally changed how institutions manage treasury operations. Transactions execute in seconds rather than days, smart contracts introduce programmability and complexity, and the irreversible nature of blockchain transfers means there's no room for error.

Yet most institutional wallet solutions still rely on a security model built for a simpler era: verify the signer, check basic parameters, and execute. As a result, institutions either move slowly - adding manual review steps and operational bottlenecks that defeat the purpose of blockchain efficiency - or accept elevated risk by trusting that their internal controls and human review will catch every potential issue before execution.

By integrating Blockaid Cosigner, Utila makes an important step towards eliminating that trade-off. The Cosigner brings deterministic security validation directly into the transaction flow, maintaining the speed advantages of digital assets while dramatically strengthening operational assurance.

How Blockaid Cosigner Transforms Transaction Security

Utila and Blockaid share a vision of secure, transparent, and efficient digital-asset operations. By combining Utila's enterprise-grade MPC architecture with Blockaid's simulation-based validation, institutions gain a new layer of assurance. Now, it is possible to seamlessly verify not only who signs each transaction, but what it will actually do once executed.

Blockaid Cosigner functions as an independent validation layer that sits between transaction creation and execution. Rather than simply verifying signatures and basic parameters, it performs comprehensive pre-execution analysis that gives institutions complete visibility into what will actually happen when a transaction executes onchain.

Before approval, Blockaid Cosigner:

• Simulates the full transaction onchain, showing how assets and contracts are affected
• Validates outcomes against threat-intelligence signals and organization-defined policies
• Enforces rules automatically, allowing or flagging transactions based on pre-set thresholds

This delivers confident, policy-driven automation, without adding friction to existing treasury or operations workflows.

Institutional adoption of digital assets requires infrastructure that surpasses the security and operational standards of traditional finance while embracing blockchain's efficiency advantages. Our integration with Blockaid gives treasury teams the confidence to move quickly without compromising on safety. This partnership represents exactly the kind of collaborative innovation that accelerates enterprise adoption - specialized partners working together to solve real institutional challenges, said Bentzi Rabi, Co-Founder & CEO of Utila.

Cosigner's integration with Utila brings our simulation and threat intelligence capabilities into an institutional-grade custody environment, creating a comprehensive security framework that matches how modern treasury teams actually operate. We're excited to partner with Utila to set a new standard for operational security in digital asset infrastructure, said Ido Ben-Natan, Co-Founder & CEO of Blockaid.

Why This Matters

Institutional wallets have evolved from secure key storage into full-scale operational hubs. This partnership strengthens that evolution - pairing Utila's modular custody and policy controls with Blockaid's onchain intelligence to deliver deterministic assurance for every approval.

For Utila users, it means faster decisions, stronger compliance alignment, and complete clarity into every transaction's intent and outcome:

• Treasury teams can move with confidence, knowing that every transaction has been validated against both organizational policies and the broader threat landscape.
• Compliance officers gain automated controls and comprehensive audit trails that meet regulatory requirements without slowing operations. 
• Risk managers benefit from proactive threat detection that identifies issues before they become incidents.

The integration represents a fundamental shift in how institutions approach digital asset security - from reactive monitoring to proactive validation, from manual review to automated intelligence, and from isolated point solutions to integrated operational platforms.
