# Welcome

Andromeda is hosted infrastructure that turns two of Solana's most powerful primitives, Ika's 2PC-MPC threshold signing and Encrypt's homomorphic computation, into plain REST endpoints and MCP tools.

You call an HTTPS endpoint. Andromeda runs the signing engines, the on-chain policy programs, the gas, and the wallet-agnostic auth layer. Your users never see the chain underneath: no wallet to install, no SOL to hold, no MPC network to learn.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Andromeda is pre-alpha and runs on Solana devnet only. The signer is a single mock node, so there is no cryptographic MPC guarantee yet. Do not custody real value. See [Status & disclaimers](/hub/andromeda/status.md).
{% endhint %}

## What you can build

* **Cross-chain wallets.** One identity drives signing across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Cosmos, NEAR, Aptos and Substrate.
* **On-chain policy enforcement.** Allowlists, velocity guards, time-locks, oracle circuit breakers and session keys are enforced by Solana programs that hold the wallet authority, not by a backend.
* **Social recovery.** A wallet can have a primary owner plus a roster of recovery owners. If a user loses their seed phrase, any M-of-N of those owners restore access by signing a 32-byte challenge with whatever they already use (MetaMask, Phantom, a BTC cold wallet, Gmail, Apple, a passkey).
* **AI agents that sign.** Every REST route is mirrored as an MCP tool, so an agent in Claude Desktop or Cursor can call signing, recovery and policy operations natively.

## Start here

1. [Get an API key](/hub/andromeda/getting-started/api-key.md) on the dashboard.
2. Read [How it works](/hub/andromeda/how-it-works.md) for the mental model.
3. Run [Your first request](/hub/andromeda/getting-started/first-request.md), then [Create a dWallet](/hub/andromeda/getting-started/create-dwallet.md) and [Sign a message](/hub/andromeda/getting-started/sign.md).
4. Browse the [API reference](/hub/andromeda/api-reference/overview.md) or wire up [MCP](/hub/andromeda/getting-started/mcp.md).
