BitGo, a digital asset trust and security company, has recognized that foundations and organizations must handle the digital assets they issue effectively. This realization prompted the creation of its innovative custodial token management services. This initiative offers a simplified and efficient method for institutional firms to oversee their digital holdings.
The Revolutionary Twist In Crypto Custody
BitGo, currently in a legal saga with Galaxy Digitals, stated that its new initiative aligns with the evolving Web3 landscape. This new initiative has the potential to enable the creation of new protocols and tokenomics with ease in todayâs programmable economy. It is said to be an innovative service that moves beyond basic transactions into a more programmable, nuanced economy.
By offering a regulated and insured platform for institutional firms, BitGo addresses key concerns around security, regulation, and the fragmented nature of the market. It was revealed that this new initiative is set to fill a crucial gap in a maturing but still fragmented digital asset market.
This service is explicitly designed for institutional and enterprise clients seeking compliance, security, and efficient asset management. Major protocols like Worldcoin, LayerZero, Sui, and ZetaChain have adopted the service.
Hidden Pitfalls of Protocol Building in the Web3 World
Thomas Chen, Head of sales at BitGo, said navigating the complexities of protocol building in the Web3 world can be likened to a challenging maze. Often, protocol developers focus on technical intricacies like tokenomics and validator processes. Chen noted that they sometimes overlook the practical aspects of managing tokens.Â
This oversight could lead to significant issues down the road. Managing tokens in a fragmented system involves juggling non-custodial wallets, web-only solutions, and smart contracts for distribution, creating a web of complexity.Â
Chen pointed out that this intricate process can be extremely challenging and chaotic. Protocol builders must carefully navigate various partners and systems while striving to launch their mainnet successfully.
BitGo Expands to DeFi Operations
BitGo has made significant strides in the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) space. Recently, it launched BitGo DeFi Access which allows users to link their MetaMask wallets with BitGoâs self-custody hot wallets. Recall that Metamask partnered with the crypto-based custodians including BitGo to push institutional offerings in 2021.
Additionally, the cryptocurrency company shared that it is moving its Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) operations to a multi-jurisdictional custody model. This strategic shift is expected to improve the security and transparency of WBTC operations, which are crucial for DeFi applications.
