Station70 and Utila Partnership

Station70 Partners with Utila Bringing Instituional-Grade Disaster Recovery to More Users

Together with Utila, the secure digital asset operations platform for institutions, we are announcing a comprehensive integration bringing our Bunker platform, the leading disaster recovery solutions provider for digital assets, to all Utila customers. This partnership delivers a two-way integration that addresses critical business continuity requirements while enabling institutions to enhance operational resilience and meet emerging regulatory standards like DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act).

With the emergence of DORA and other industry standards, institutions are placing increased emphasis on business continuity and operational resilience.

The Utila-Station70 integration directly addresses these requirements by providing institutions enterprise-grade disaster recovery solutions that ensure asset accessibility without compromising security and streamlined business continuity planning that enables institutions to rapidly establish secondary wallet environments.

Scope and Key Features of the Integration

Enterprise-Grade Disaster Recovery

Utila customers can now securely create and manage disaster recovery backups through Station70’s Bunker product. The solution ensures customers can access their assets in a multitude of disaster scenarios  while maintaining the industry-leading security standards throughout the backup and recovery process.

  • Secure Encryption Process: Customer key shares are encrypted with a secret phrase generated locally on the user’s mobile device, ensuring Station70 can never reconstruct the full vault key material and the end-to-end systems remain zero knowledge.
  • Cryptographic enforcement of policies: Station70 is the only disaster recovery solution which uses industry leading cryptography & hardware to enforce the recovery quorum policy ensuring zero-trust and maximum security.
  • Vault-Scoped Backup: Backups are created at the vault level, with both key shares (ECDSA, EdDSA) for each wallet encrypted and made available for export.
  • Independent Access: Customers retain the ability to decrypt and access key shares independently without requiring further involvement from either Utila or Station70.

Streamlined Business Continuity Planning

The integration enables organizations, in the event of disaster, to rapidly replicate their existing MPC wallet infrastructure from other vendors into Utila through Station70’s SWAT (Secure Wallet Account Transfer) workflow. This process typically takes under 5 minutes, providing immediate operational continuity capabilities in the event of primary provider downtime or disruption.

  • Rapid Environment Mirroring: Organizations can replicate their existing wallet environments within Utila in 5 minutes.
  • Secure Key Material Transfer: Recovery packages are securely delivered from Station70 to Utila, where Utila key shares are encrypted and stored at rest, while mobile key shares are sent to users’ devices.
  • Seamless Wallet Reconstruction: Wallets are reconstructed by securely importing cryptographic material, following predefined derivation paths while maintaining full security.

Strategic Benefits for Institutional Operations

The integration provides institutions with several critical advantages:

  • DORA Compliance Readiness: Direct support for institutions in meeting DORA requirements for operational resilience by providing secure secondary wallet infrastructure and comprehensive disaster recovery capabilities
  • Operational Continuity: Confidence that critical digital asset operations can continue without interruption, regardless of primary vendor availability or system disruptions
  • Enhanced Security: Enterprise-grade security throughout all backup and recovery processes, with multiple layers of encryption and access controls protecting sensitive cryptographic material
  • Operational Flexibility: Choice of disaster recovery approaches that fit operational requirements and risk management frameworks while maintaining consistent security standards

Bentzi Rabi, Co-founder & CEO of Utila said:

Operational resilience is fundamental to institutional adoption of digital assets. Our integration with Station70 provides institutions with the disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities they need to operate with confidence while meeting evolving regulatory requirements like DORA. This partnership ensures our customers have secure, reliable access to their assets under any circumstances.

Dr Ace Everspaugh, CTO of Station70 added:

This partnership reflects what institutional security should look like—provable guarantees without operational tradeoffs. Together with Utila, we’ve built recovery paths that are zero-trust, quorum-controlled, and externally verifiable. Enterprise resilience shouldn’t be a gamble. It’s secure, easy to set up and use — and it’s available now.
The integration is immediately available to all Utila and Station70 customers, providing institutions with enhanced operational resilience capabilities that support both day-to-day operations and emergency scenarios.
