Silence Laboratories

Silence Laboratories is a cybersecurity company pioneering Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and privacy-preserving compute technologies for the Web3 ecosystem. Founded in 2022, the company enables enterprises to adopt threshold signatures and secure computations through its suite of cutting-edge cryptographic products.

Core Products/Services

Silence Laboratories offers a comprehensive stack of cryptographic infrastructure:

Silent Shard - One of the world's fastest MPC-based Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) libraries, delivering distributed signatures in under 20ms for 3-party settings. Built on peer-reviewed algorithms (Lindell17, DKLs19, DKLs23), it supports asynchronous distributed key generation, weighted threshold signatures, offline key refresh, and configurable quorum policies. Designed for digital wallets, exchanges, and institutional asset custodians.

Silent Compute - Privacy-preserving computation infrastructure that enables cross-institutional data collaboration without exposing plaintext customer information. The platform supports distributed analytics across multiple parties while maintaining compliance with data privacy regulations (GDPR, PDPA). Use cases include anti-money laundering detection, open banking, credit scoring, regulatory tech, healthcare research, and telecom data monetization.

Silent Network - A composable MPC network infrastructure that can be deployed in minutes, offering delegated distributed custody with sub-20ms compute time for {3,5} threshold signing. Supports validator networks, key management, session key networks, off-chain compute, and cross-chain bridges. Can be deployed on private servers, Google Cloud Platform, EigenLayer, or through partnerships like the Biconomy network.

Silent Shard Snap - A MetaMask extension enabling distributed self-custodial wallets through seamless MPC technology integration. Provides 2FA-like authentication between browser and phone for transaction approval, with advanced recovery options through password managers.

Multimodal Proofs - A rich library of cryptographic proof mechanisms complementing traditional multi-factor authentication. Includes proof of possession, proof of proximity, proof of activity, proof of ownership, and proof of authenticity for adaptive, context-aware security.

Key Strengths

Silence Laboratories stands out through its performance leadership - delivering the fastest MPC-TSS implementation in the industry with <20ms signature generation. The company's technology is built on rigorous academic research, with algorithms based on peer-reviewed cryptographic protocols and audited by leading security firms.

The team comprises PhDs and researchers from top institutions including Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD), National University of Singapore (NUS), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and MIT's CSAIL. Team members include globally top-ranked Capture The Flag (CTF) competitors and veterans from leading tech companies.

The company's proof-based ecosystem approach sets a new standard for authentication, moving beyond traditional OTPs to configurable cryptographic proofs. Their technology supports both centralized and fully decentralized architectures, giving clients flexibility across the spectrum of custody models.
