  An MPC wallet protects against private key theft by using a technique called secure multi-party computation (MPC). This technique splits the private key into multiple shares and distributes them among different parties. To sign a transaction, a certain number of these parties must come together and combine their shares using cryptographic protocols. This ensures that no single party has access to the complete private key, making it extremely difficult for hackers to steal the key.

  MPC wallets protect against private key theft by eliminating the need for a single point of failure. Instead of relying on a single private key stored in a vulnerable location, an MPC wallet distributes the key among multiple parties. Each party holds a share of the key and must collaborate to sign transactions. This decentralized approach significantly reduces the risk of private key theft, as an attacker would need to compromise multiple parties simultaneously to gain access to the complete key.
