Yes, MultiChain has an integrated wallet that supports multiple addresses, but you need not use it if you prefer to do something external that is database driven. You can submit externally-built transactions to nodes via sendrawtransaction, and they will still verify them, build blocks, etc... This will bypass the performance limitations of the local wallet.

What is the purpose of the wallet then? Did you plan one wallet per node or is there a benefit of having more wallets or even one wallet per asset? And what are the performance limitations of the wallet, what makes using the wallet slower than just creating an asset?
