# Is There a Risk of MPC Shards Being Stolen? Cregis uses robust security mechanisms to ensure that stolen shards cannot be used for asset operations, thus protecting your assets. MPC shards are distributed across multiple locations, and a single shard cannot function independently. Each shard is securely encrypted, making it extremely difficult for hackers to steal. Additionally, Cregis binds shards to specific devices and accounts, preventing unauthorized usage even if a shard is compromised. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
