Collaboration Set to Provide Advanced Security and Risk Management Tools for Users of the Porto Self-Custody Wallet
Singapore, March 11, 2026 — Anchorage Digital, the parent company of the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, has revealed a strategic acquisition of $IMU by its Ventures Portfolio Company alongside a new partnership with Immunefi, the premier onchain security infrastructure platform globally. This collaboration is designed to provide top-tier security and risk management features to Anchorage Digital’s clientele, specifically targeting users of Porto, the firm’s institutional self-custody wallet.
Porto by Anchorage Digital enables institutions to interact with DeFi protocols, perform native swaps, and implement complex onchain strategies directly from a self-custody wallet with confidence. Due to the elevated risk of threats associated with DeFi involvement, this alliance with Immunefi signifies a strategic move to bolster the security framework accessible to Porto users.
Immunefi has become a vital component of blockchain security, safeguarding more than $180 billion in user assets and distributing over $130 million in bug bounty rewards to security researchers. The platform links major protocols—such as Ethereum, Aave, Optimism, Arbitrum, and numerous others—with a worldwide community of over 60,000 security researchers. The $IMU token serves as the primary value-generating asset within the Immunefi ecosystem and encourages the reporting of vulnerabilities.
“The adoption of DeFi by institutions requires security that meets institutional standards,” stated Mitchell Amador, Founder and CEO of Immunefi. “Through our collaboration with Anchorage Digital and Porto, we are broadening our security infrastructure to include the institutions that are defining the future of onchain finance. The $IMU token guarantees that all ecosystem participants—ranging from security researchers to protocol teams—are united in the common goal of safeguarding user funds.”
Porto by Anchorage Digital merges top-tier security architecture with a self-custody framework tailored for institutional requirements. The wallet offers end-to-end cryptographic integrity, FIPS-140 compliant hardware security modules (HSMs), adjustable quorum approval policies, and live smart contract risk simulation. Porto is compatible with a diverse array of blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Sui, and more than 20 other chains.
“As institutional usage of DeFi grows via self-custody platforms like Porto, the importance of strong security infrastructure cannot be overstated,” remarked Matt Round of Anchorage Digital Ventures. “Immunefi’s established history of detecting and stopping vulnerabilities before they are exploited positions them as the perfect partner to assist in securing our users’ onchain operations.”
Via this alliance, the two firms will work together to provide improved security solutions to the institutional DeFi sector, merging Anchorage Digital’s regulatory knowledge and custody systems with Immunefi’s extensive security platform and threat intelligence features.
