Build apps that put users in control
Lit is a key management network for decentralized signing and encryption. Create apps and wallets that use secrets without single points of failure.
Sign. Encrypt. Compute.
Keys managed on Lit are distributed and fault tolerant, so no centralized authority can ever withhold access. Use Lit to build digital ownership experiences with greater privacy, flexibility, and control.
Streamline user experience with distributed wallets
Empower your users with wallets secured by their existing authentication like social logins and passkeys. Deliver seamless onboarding, easy recovery, and user-centric security features—all without worrying about managing private keys.
Build with Lit wallets
Claimable wallets
Effortlessly provision wallets that are pre-generated from human-readable identities, such as emails or phone numbers.
Session keys
Use session keys to enable a range of authorized actions—from signing to decryption—without repeated authentication.
Popular integrations
Use Lit's ready-made integrations with ethers.js and WalletConnect to quickly build signing and dapp interactions.
Store private data on the open web with flexible access control
Define conditional rules to control access to private data, stored anywhere. The Lit network will validate your rules and grant decryption capabilities only when your defined conditions are met, without ever accessing the private data.
Integrate access control
Identity-based encryption
Safeguard private data with client-side encryption, and grant decryption keys only when defined conditions are met.
Access control conditions
Easily mix and match conditions on-chain or off-chain data with boolean logic to define flexible access control rules.
JWT signing
Define access control conditions to sign JWTs that can be used to load dynamic content from a server.
Power your apps with serverless signing automations
Create immutable serverless functions for event-based signing, encryption, and identity management. Add advanced functionality to your apps and iterate faster, all without the burden of scaling key infrastructure.
Dive into Lit Actions
Conditional signing
Write immutable JavaScript logic to generate signatures when your specified on-chain or off-chain conditions are met.
Fetch off-chain data
Lit Actions natively support fetching off-chain data, eliminating the need to integrate a trusted third party oracle.
Secure infrastructure
Lit leverages a secure JavaScript runtime and advanced hardware protection to ensure that your code is tamper-proof.
The Lit Network
Currently in developer preview, Lit is a network of 30+ nodes utilizing cutting-edge cryptography, robust hardware, and peer-to-peer networking to securely generate and manage keys.
Distributed trust
Harnessing multi-party computation (MPC) and threshold secret schemes (TSS), Lit distributes encrypted key shares across the Lit network. Neither you nor your users need to store any private key material. No party ever possesses the entire key.
Embedded security
Lit leverages trusted execution environments (TEEs) to ensure that node operators never have access to key shares or computations processed within the nodes. Your keys and data remains private and untouched.
Native interoperability
The keys managed on Lit can read and write data across blockchains, storage networks, and state machines—bridging previously disconnected ecosystems. Build experiences that span web2 and web3.
Revolutionizing secret management with decentralization
Lit combines applied cryptography with secure enclaves in a peer-to-peer network to ensure censorship-resistant key access and complete data privacy.

Versatile tooling for any use case
Lit is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing stack, enabling a diverse range of use cases from DeFi automation to private web3 social and ‘wallet as a service‘ infrastructure.
Intuitive wallet onboarding & recovery
Enable users to create and back up their wallets—EOA, MPC, or AA—using social recovery, passkeys, and other user-friendly authentication methods.
Unique token-gated experiences
Craft exclusive access, content, and experiences for your community members, tailored to the digital assets they own.
Automated credential issuance
Issue tamper-proof, verifiable credentials programmatically at scale, based on on-chain or off-chain conditions.
Streamlined DeFi automation
Unlock new DeFi experiences, such as limit orders and liquidity loss prevention, with conditional transaction execution and off-chain triggers.
Native cross-chain swaps
Use Lit to seamlessly transfer assets and data across chain, without relying on a centralized bridge or intermediary.
Open data marketplaces
Facilitate transparent and secure data exchanges between individuals and organizations, enabling users to monetize or share their data on their terms.
