About BitGo
BitGo is one of the longest-running cryptocurrency companies, first founded in 2013 as a Bitcoin wallet provider. In 2018 the company expanded its service to a multi-signature wallet, which now supports over 200 crypto-assets.
The multi-signature feature uses multiple signature encryptions to validate a transaction, which enables private keys to be spread to more than one individual.
Keys can be distributed across independent individuals, geographies, and storage techniques. Which is why multi-signature is considered mandatory for high-security blockchain applications.
Notably, several other crypto and blockchain firm such as TRON, utilities BitGo multi-sig support for its ecosystem.
