Not measurable — and that is the finding
These providers mint ordinary EOAs from a TEE or MPC ceremony — a Privy wallet is indistinguishable from a MetaMask wallet by construction. And when their user DOES deploy a smart account, the factory belongs to a different company, so the deployment attributes to that account-abstraction vendor rather than to them. Providers whose control surface is off-chain cannot be censused from chain data. This is architecture, not tooling.
What we measured
venue-level
▸▾ How these were measured
- The unmeasurability is the finding. Affects Privy (server + embedded), Turnkey, Coinbase CDP Server Wallets, Dynamic and Fireblocks.
How this is measured
Each figure is read per chain and per lifecycle stage and is never added to another. A rate computed on fewer than 20 observations is stored and shown as “not enough readings”, never as a finding; a value that could not be read says “not measured” with the reason.
What this page cannot settle
- Headline safety: The unmeasurability itself is the publishable finding.
- Every method on this page is EVM-shaped. Solana identity registries are covered elsewhere as upper bounds; Solana payment settlement is not covered anywhere on this site.

Questions people ask about Key-management / server-wallet providers
- What is one unit of Key-management / server-wallet providers?
- none observable. Counting anything else as a "Key-management / server-wallet providers agent" would compare different objects, so every row on this page names the stage it counts.
- What does it cost to enter Key-management / server-wallet providers?
- n/a. Entry cost is why raw sizes are not comparable across venues: free and permissionless is a different market from bonded.
- Why is Key-management / server-wallet providers not measured?
- These providers mint ordinary EOAs from a TEE or MPC ceremony — a Privy wallet is indistinguishable from a MetaMask wallet by construction. And when their user DOES deploy a smart account, the factory belongs to a different company, so the deployment attributes to that account-abstraction vendor rather than to them. Providers whose control surface is off-chain cannot be censused from chain data. This is architecture, not tooling.
- Does a count here say the agents work?
- No. A registration, a launch or a staked service is an entry in a contract. Nothing about funding, activity, competence or safety is implied, and what happens after entry is measured as its own stage.
