BitGo has launched a unified, automated Token Management platform, designed to streamline the fragmented and complex process of managing digital assets for every stakeholder. This end-to-end solution offers unmatched security, compliance, and transparency for token projects, simplifying operations from custody and grant administration to distribution and payouts.

  • Why it’s significant: BitGo provides the only automated, user-forward, custody-native solution on the market, offering seamless management of token vesting, unlocking, and on-chain activities, all within a compliant, insured environment.

  • What it means: A single platform for end-to-end token management, eliminating the need for fragmented solutions across custody, distribution, staking, and liquidation.

  • Who it’s for: Foundations, protocols, and organizations managing digital assets, including top protocols like Worldcoin, ZetaChain, and LayerZero.

The digital asset management landscape has evolved. We’re no longer just dealing with simple transactions; we’re stepping into a programmable economy where, with just a few lines of code, new protocols can be launched, tokenomics invented, and tokens minted. But while the technology has advanced at breakneck speed, a major gap remains: managing these tokens. Protocol creators are often preoccupied with refining technical details or growing their ecosystems, leaving token management fragmented and inefficient.

BitGo’s Token Management platform changes the game, offering the first true all-in-one solution designed to address the operational headache that token projects and foundations face today.

The Problem: Fragmented Token Management Experiences

The typical token project has a set of core priorities: protocol development, validator set management, tokenomics design, and selecting a custodian. However, when it comes to managing their tokens — whether for investors, employees, or grants — they’re often met with a scattered, piecemeal experience.

Projects find themselves cobbling together a non-custody wallet solution, a smart contract for distribution, and yet another provider for custody. The result? A disjointed, inefficient process that only solves independent pieces of the puzzle: custody, management, or distribution — never all three. This fragmented approach introduces unnecessary pain and complexity, with gaps in security, compliance, and transparency.

BitGo’s Solution: The Unified Platform

As a regulated qualified custodian working with some of the largest protocols and venture capital firms in the world, BitGo saw an opportunity to fix this broken system. By acquiring HeightZero and bringing their platform in-house, we have successfully built the first and only full-service custody solution on the market, designed to streamline every aspect of token management. Moreover, the added firepower allows us to scale and support the strong demand for token management, which all foundations, protocols, and organizations need.

Key Differentiators of BitGo’s Token Management Platform:

  • Unified Experience: Our platform brings everything together under one roof. With the same intuitive, single platform that clients already trust for custody, we’ve now integrated Token Management. The Carta-esque UI simplifies administration of token vesting, unlocking, and distribution, creating a seamless experience for users.

  • End-to-End Lifecycle Management: BitGo offers a complete solution, covering everything from token upload and scheduling to regulated, insured custody, staking to multiple delegators, liquidity management, and even tax reporting. No more juggling multiple tools or systems.

  • Transparent and Compliant: Our platform delivers compliant record-keeping data for grants and warrants, ensuring that foundations have full transparency into token recipient activities.

Unlike competitors, who rely on smart contract integrations for distribution or manual locking and vesting support, BitGo offers the complete solution. By using the Token Management platform, clients have access to every tool they need, reducing administrative burdens and improving operational efficiency. As your tokens vest, you can interact with on-chain activities, such as staking and governance, all within a clean, intuitive user interface.

The BitGo Difference: A Fully Automated, Scalable Solution

Our platform is already making waves in the industry. Leading protocols like Worldcoin, ZetaChain, SUI, LayerZero, and are using BitGo’s Token Management platform to streamline operations and enhance security. This platform isn’t just a tool; it is the solution that finally solves the token management challenge at scale.

BitGo’s Token Management platform is more than just a custody service — it’s a complete ecosystem for digital asset projects. It allows foundations and organizations to focus on what truly matters: growing their projects and innovating in a rapidly changing digital world. And with BitGo, you know your assets are always secure, compliant, and ready to scale with your ambitions.
