Fomo Wallet Guide: Privy MPC & Key Export
Experience the security of non-custodial self-sovereignty with the frictionless onboarding of Web2. Fomo embeds an institutional-grade Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallet powered by Privy, eliminating fragile seed phrases while guaranteeing 100% private key export freedom.
The Mathematics of Privy 2-of-3 MPC Key Sharding
How Shamir's Secret Sharing over finite fields eliminates the single point of failure inherent in traditional crypto wallets.
Shard 1: Device Hardware Enclave
Generated directly on your phone and permanently sealed inside the hardware chip (Apple Secure Enclave on iOS or Android Keystore TEE). This shard never transmits across the network and is gated strictly by local Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode.
Shard 2: Privy Decentralized Cloud HSM
Safeguarded inside Privy's institutional Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Privy only participates in signature generation when authenticated by an active, cryptographically signed user session. On its own, Shard 2 reveals zero cryptographic information about your private key.
Shard 3: Encrypted Social Recovery
Encrypted using your social identity credentials (Apple ID or Google OAuth) and stored in redundant decentralized backup. If your device is broken, lost, or replaced, Shard 3 pairs with Shard 2 to reconstruct the wallet in seconds without needing paper seed words.
Mathematical Threshold Security
Signing an on-chain transaction requires any 2 of the 3 shares. Because FOMO Labs Inc. holds 0 shares and Privy holds only 1 share, it is mathematically impossible for either company to unilaterally access, transfer, or freeze your funds. You remain the sole owner of your assets with unconditional self-sovereignty.
