HSM	Hardware Security Module — keys stored in dedicated secure hardware with FIPS 140-2 compliance	Available
MPC	Multi-Party Computation — key shares distributed across multiple parties for enhanced security	Coming Soon

Vault Creation Process

Validates request (name and type required)
Generates cryptographic keys via KMS
Derives Ethereum-compatible blockchain address from public key
Subscribes vault address to blockchain listeners for incoming transaction monitoring

Response

Returns the created vault with:

id — Unique vault UUID
address — Derived Ethereum address (0x...)
publicKey — Vault's public key
signingKeyVersion — KMS key version reference
assets — Empty array (no assets initially)
createdAt, updatedAt — Timestamps
