DFNS is a core banking and wallet-infrastructure platform for digital assets, co-founded by Clarisse Hagège and Christopher Grilhault des Fontaines in 2021. DFNS's Twitter Score is 22 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #45,828 (top 10%) among 493,668 tracked accounts.
DFNS was founded in 2020 to deliver wallets-as-a-service built on a zero-trust security architecture, and has since repositioned itself as a full core banking platform for digital assets. Its product suite covers wallet creation and management, transaction processing, treasury, tokenization and governance infrastructure across more than 100 blockchains and third-party services. The platform's MPC-based wallets use threshold-signature key shares rather than traditional seed phrases, and DFNS reports zero security breaches and zero client-key losses to date, with regular audits and penetration testing conducted by Halborn, IBM, Kudelski, Quarkslab and Borg Security.
DFNS states that its platform secures more than $100 billion in client assets and processes more than $10 billion in monthly transaction volume, serving more than 400 fintech and institutional clients including Standard Chartered, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Broadridge, Apex Group, Stripe, Kraken, Circle and Susquehanna. IBM selected DFNS as core technology underpinning IBM Digital Asset Haven, a service for banks, governments and enterprises managing tokenized assets.
DFNS raised a $13.5 million seed round led by White Star Capital, announced in April 2022, followed by a $16 million Series A led by Further Ventures, announced in January 2025. Its broader investor base includes Wintermute, Hashed, Coinbase, ABN AMRO, Bpifrance, 6MV, Techstars and Station F, among others. DFNS is also affiliated with the MPC Alliance, LF Decentralized Trust and the Nordic Blockchain Association.
DFNS joined Notabene Flow as a founding partner for stablecoin-based B2B payments and was selected as an early launch partner of the Solana Developer Platform. DFNS's account has 4,336 followers as of October 2026 and 1,014 posts, and has been mentioned by 151 accounts a total of 709 times.
