GK8 by Galaxy

GK8, a Galaxy (Nasdaq: GLXY) company, is revolutionizing digital asset custody with the world's first truly impenetrable custody technology. Founded to address the critical security challenges holding back digital asset adoption, GK8 provides comprehensive self-custody solutions that enable regulated institutions to offer theft-proof digital asset services.

Core Products and Services

GK8's product suite centers around three flagship offerings:

Impenetrable Vault is the company's groundbreaking custody solution built on absolute isolation from the internet. Using patented one-way communication technology with zero digital input, the vault creates a hermetic environment completely unreachable by cybercriminals. The system enables remote and automatic transactions through a unique Proxy Vault architecture, providing 24/7 access without compromising security. This innovation represents the only technology that allows institutions to offer digital assets that are 100% theft-proof, backed by up to $1 billion in insurance coverage per vault.

uMPC (Unlimited Multi-Party Computation) delivers the industry's most advanced MPC solution with unlimited co-signers and the fastest algorithm on the market. The patented technology offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing financial institutions to distribute key shards globally or locally, in the cloud, on-premise, protected in HSM, or through hybrid deployment models. This customizable approach ensures compliance with existing and future regulatory requirements while enabling real-time transaction processing.

Tokenization Wizard simplifies the entire tokenization lifecycle through an intuitive, no-code interface. The platform enables institutions to tokenize any asset type—from real estate and fine art to intellectual property, stablecoins, commodities, equities, NFTs, and security tokens. By utilizing GK8's impenetrable architecture, all smart contract operations including minting, burning, and proxying occur entirely offline, protecting admin privileges from cyber threats.

Key Technological Strengths

GK8's technology is distinguished by several critical innovations. The Universal Asset Engine ensures instant support for any digital asset, including all L1 EVM-compatible chains and L2 EVM-based smart contracts, providing future-proof scalability. The comprehensive Policy Engine offers granular control over transaction workflows, aligning with internal compliance requirements and global regulations including OCC, MiCA, and BaFin.

The company's Impenetrable Architecture fundamentally differs from traditional cold custody (partially connected) and warm custody (always connected) solutions. By maintaining absolute isolation with one-way communication, GK8 eliminates the attack surface entirely while still enabling automated, remote operations—solving what has been the industry's most significant security dilemma.

Market Position and Value Proposition

GK8 serves both traditional financial institutions (TradFi) and crypto-native companies, positioning itself as the bridge enabling mass adoption of digital assets. For TradFi clients, GK8 delivers the level of trust and security customers demand, allowing banks and financial institutions to expand into digital assets with confidence. For crypto-native companies, the à la carte solutions provide institutional-grade security for building trust in on-chain offerings.

The company's leadership team brings deep expertise from elite cybersecurity backgrounds, with founders Lior Lamesh (CEO) and Shahar Shamai (CTO) leading a team that has built solutions used by some of the world's most security-conscious financial institutions. As part of Galaxy (Nasdaq: GLXY), GK8 benefits from the backing and expertise of a leading digital asset financial services firm.
