What are TEEs and how are they used in crypto?
TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments) have long played a role in securing data in traditional computing environments, such as in mobile banking, encrypted cloud storage, and in DRM (Digital Rights Management). But where do TEEs fit into the crypto industry? Privacy and security are still a major concern in crypto, and TEEs offer a solution to some of the UX and security issues prevalent today. But what exactly is a TEE, and what are its trade offs? What roles can TEEs play in the industry? Le...

Introducing Embedded Wallet Kit
Since the beginning, Turnkey has taken an infrastructure-driven approach to solving the pains of private key management. We know that developers want to build truly novel experiences for their end users, but legacy tools have held them back. That’s why at Turnkey, we’ve leaned heavily into building not just another developer tool, but an open-source and composable set of cryptographic primitives that offer unparalleled flexibility. When you’re using Turnkey to create embedded wallets on behal...

Understanding Solana transactions and parsing
Solana is a decentralized blockchain that launched in early 2020. It quickly began rising in popularity, and strong communities formed around applications such as Metaplex, Raydium, and more recently, pump.fun. Solana has also built their own novel architecture aiming to solve the speed and scalability aspects of the blockchain trilemma. Due to its new architecture, the way accounts and transactions work on Solana is different from more traditional blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. In...

How OneBalance powers chain-abstracted DeFi with Turnkey session keys
The future of DeFi requires seamless interactions across multiple blockchains, but building modular infrastructure that maintains both security and simplicity presents significant technical challenges. OneBalance is pioneering this future with their chain abstraction framework, demonstrating how modern wallet infrastructure can power sophisticated cross-chain applications while maintaining a simple user experience. Here's how they did it with Turnkey: The problem: Building secure session...

Understanding Bitcoin addresses and key derivations
Bitcoin’s address system has evolved a lot since its inception in 2009 and subsequent rise to fame in 2013. In this post we'll explore how Bitcoin addresses work, different types of addresses (including legacy, SegWit, and Taproot addresses), and their technical aspects. How do you generate a Bitcoin public key? Bitcoin keypairs are formed of a public key and private key. The private key is put through elliptic curve multiplication to generate a public key. The same private key will alwa...
