Swiss staking platform StakeHound blamed the loss of funds on the institution-oriented infrastructure company Fireblocks. The lawsuit was filed in the Tel Aviv District Court, Calcalist writes. Founded in 2017, Fireblocks used multi-party computing (MPC) to store private keys. In order to increase security, it transferred backups to Coincover. According to the complaint, as a result of negligence, the defendant lost the private keys of the StakeHound users. Coincover employees allegedly received incorrect data — they could not verify their correctness at the first stage due to a confidentiality agreement. The plaintiff estimated the damage at approximately 38,178 ETH (~$68 million at the time of writing). Blockchain developer Lior Jaffe in a comment on Decrypt suggested that the reason was errors in the MPC creation process. #Cryptocurrency
