Secure Infrastructure
Blockshard operates validator and signing infrastructure using access controls, encryption and monitoring. We do not hold customer wallet keys. Direct validator customers control their withdrawal address; StakeWise validators withdraw to the vault contract, with Blockshard's administrative role described in our Terms. These safeguards cannot eliminate downtime, software, smart-contract or slashing risks.

SECURITY
Operational risks and safeguards
Blockshard provides non-custodial validator infrastructure and does not take custody of customer assets. Validator signing permissions are separate from control over withdrawals. Non-custodial operation does not eliminate operational, protocol or smart-contract risks. The following outlines relevant risks and safeguards.
Tezos operational risks
- Signing-key security: Compromised signing credentials can disrupt validator operation and expose the validator to penalties. Validator signing permissions do not, by themselves, provide control of the configured withdrawal address.
- Double-signing: A slashable offense that can result in a reduction of staked assets.
Operational safeguards and limitations
- Separation of duties: Blockshard performs consensus signing without taking custody of customer assets. Consensus signing permissions are separate from customer asset-transfer permissions.
- Key protection: Restricted signing access and protected key storage can reduce exposure of consensus credentials. They do not eliminate operational or protocol risks.
- Signing safeguards: Slashing-protection checks are designed to reduce conflicting signatures. Their effectiveness depends on correct configuration and operation; they cannot eliminate slashing risk.Check out our recent article detailing our solution, available for your convenience here.
