At io.finnet, we build digital asset infrastructure that helps institutions trade and operate securely. One of our clients, Garlic Capital, runs an active OTC trading desk and relies on io.finnet’s custody architecture to keep operations smooth and secure.

Garlic Capital, like many OTC players, faces challenges such as safeguarding assets in motion, avoiding operational bottlenecks, and ensuring compliance without slowing down execution. For a trading firm, security cannot come at the cost of speed.

The Solution: io.finnet Custody Architecture

Garlic Capital uses io.finnet’s trustless MPC (tMPC) wallet infrastructure to secure OTC business flows. Key benefits include:

No single point of failure: signing power is distributed across multiple devices and virtual signers.

• Policy-based approvals: automated rules for transaction size, counterparties, and team roles.

• Frictionless access: team members can securely sign from their devices (iPhone and Android), or virtual signers without exposing private keys.
Audit-ready logs, full traceability of every approval and transaction.

The Results

By adopting io.finnet, Garlic Capital:

• Strengthened custody without relying on a third-party co-signer.

• Reduced operational risk in fast-moving OTC trades.

• Gained flexibility to scale its desk securely while staying compliant.
