A Keyless Wallet is a specialized cryptocurrency wallet that utilizes Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. This advanced approach distributes the process of creating and storing private keys across multiple parties, eliminating single points of failure and significantly reducing security risks. Unlike traditional wallets, MPC-based keyless wallets enhance resilience against threats through collaborative cryptography.
