Announcing multi-region signing with Turnkey

Low-latency, globally distributed transaction signing for production systems.

What is the solution? Multi-region signing with Turnkey, a globally distributed signing architecture that executes transactions closer to where requests originate.

What does it solve? It addresses latency bottlenecks caused by centralized signing infrastructure, inconsistent performance across regions, and the challenges of scaling transaction throughput as applications expand globally.

How does it solve this? It deploys signing capacity across multiple regions, minimizes network distance between request and execution while maintaining consistent security guarantees.

Who is it built for? Teams building global, high-throughput systems where latency directly impacts user experience and execution reliability. Engineering leaders use it to ensure consistent performance at scale, while product and business leaders rely on it to support global expansion without introducing operational risk or infrastructure complexity.

As a leading provider of secure, programmable wallet infrastructure, Turnkey is excited to announce multi-region signing, a feature that will bring ultra low-latency transaction signing closer to users across the globe.

Turnkey’s transaction signing has always been fast, but with multi-region signing, it’s even faster, no matter where these transactions take place. We’ve focused on reducing end-to-end latency by placing signing operations closer to where requests originate, improving responsiveness for users and automation worldwide.

By deploying signing capacity closer to end users, teams can reduce latency as transaction volume grows while maintaining consistent security guarantees. This architecture supports higher throughput and smoother expansion into new markets, all without changing application logic or key management workflows.

Solving for the global payment problem

Payment systems, trading platforms, wallets, stablecoin flows, and other high-throughput applications rely on cryptographic signing as a critical step. A payment cannot settle, a transaction cannot be submitted, and workflows cannot continue until signing is complete.

Signing infrastructure needs to minimize network hops, avoid centralized bottlenecks, and scale horizontally across regions so that signing time remains consistent as volume and geographic reach increase.
Multi-region solves this problem with faster settlement, smoother user experiences, and more reliable automation for systems where every millisecond matters.

Turnkey’s multi-region performance advantage

Across all tested regions, Turnkey consistently outperforms the competition under realistic workloads, and without compromising security guarantees.

In an industry where “fast signing” is often marketing speak, performance claims are hard to verify. Benchmarks are frequently run in a single region, based on synthetic workloads, and are not reproducible by customers. 

Turnkey takes a different approach, and, just like everything we do, we’re making these results verifiable. You can explore the latency probes yourself and see exactly how Turnkey compares across regions.

Architecture built for speed and security

Delivering low-latency signing globally is important, but speed alone isn’t enough. Security is still a top priority. We’ve designed our architecture so that achieving the lowest latency never comes at the expense of protecting keys or transaction integrity.

Turnkey runs signing operations inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). TEEs provide strong, hardware-backed isolation for private keys while also enabling a performance profile that traditional HSM-based or multi-party systems struggle to match. 

Signing operations avoid multi-round network coordination, incur minimal cryptographic overhead, and follow predictable execution paths even under high load.

This approach ensures that signing is both fast and secure, giving teams the confidence that every transaction is protected. It also allows us to deploy infrastructure close to users globally, so teams everywhere experience low-latency performance without compromising safety.

Fast, global, and verifiable wallet infrastructure

With multi-region signing, your applications can achieve reliable, low-latency signing wherever your users are. Turnkey isn’t just fast in one place, it’s fast everywhere, with security you can trust and performance you can verify.
