LitProtocol is a startup operating in the digital security and encryption market. It provides a key management network for decentralized signing and encryption, which allows developers to build applications and digital wallets that use secrets without a single point of failure. This means that the keys managed on Lit are distributed and fault-tolerant, eliminating the risk of a centralized authority withholding access.

The company's primary clients are app developers who want to create digital ownership experiences with enhanced privacy, flexibility, and control. LitProtocol's technology streamlines user experience with distributed wallets and enables a range of authorized actions, such as signing and decryption, without repeated authentication.

The business model of LitProtocol revolves around providing ready-made integrations with ethers.js and WalletConnect, which help developers quickly build signing and dapp interactions. It also offers serverless signing automations and the ability to store private data on the open web with flexible access control.

LitProtocol makes money by providing these services to app developers and businesses. It also offers advanced functionality to apps without the burden of scaling key infrastructure.

The Lit Network, currently in developer preview, is a network of 30+ nodes using advanced cryptography, robust hardware, and peer-to-peer networking to securely generate and manage keys. The keys managed on Lit can read and fetch off-chain data, eliminating the need for a trusted third-party oracle.
