Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DFNS Wallets-as-a-Service provides APIs and SDKs for creating, managing and operating digital-asset wallets. It is aimed at banks, fintechs, payment companies, exchanges and other institutions building treasury, trading, tokenization, payment or user-wallet flows. The product combines wallet lifecycle management with transaction execution, policy-based approvals, governance controls and MPC key management. It fits teams that need programmable wallet infrastructure across blockchain networks; it is not limited to custody workflows alone.
Pricing has Starter at $800 per year or $200 per quarter, with 3 organizations, 1 user, 10 wallets, 1 blockchain, every API and SDK, and DeFi integrations. Basic costs $8,000 per year or $2,000 per quarter and includes 3 users, 10,000 wallets, 3 blockchains and unlimited policies. Pro is $35,000 per year or $8,750 per quarter, with 5 users, 50,000 wallets plus pay-as-you-go, all blockchains excluding special chains, unlimited policies and hybrid deployments. Enterprise has custom pricing, unlimited users, 100,000 wallets plus pay-as-you-go, all blockchains, unlimited policies, and hybrid and on-prem deployments. Paid plans include a 30-day trial.
The feature set spans wallet creation and indexing across 100+ blockchains, transaction signing and delivery tracking, webhooks, and REST API and SDK operations. Listed integrations include Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon, Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, Chainalysis and Cryptio. Deployment options range from SaaS to hybrid and on-premises, giving institutions choices for operating custody and signing infrastructure. The Starter tier's single-chain, 10-wallet limit makes it a narrow entry point for production needs; teams requiring more networks, wallet capacity or users need a higher tier. Choose DFNS when you need wallet infrastructure with programmable controls and deployment flexibility. A simpler, single-chain wallet requirement may not need this breadth.
