Policy-led digital asset operations

digital asset workflows with confidence.

bitgo brings wallet orchestration, configurable approvals and integration patterns into one clear operating layer.

One clear operating model

Four layers for controlled asset operations.

Organize wallets, approvals, transaction activity and system connections around explicit responsibilities.

01 / WALLETS

Wallet orchestration

Organize addresses, balances and transaction workflows through a consistent operating model.

Explore wallet operations
02 / POLICY

Policy & approvals

Define roles, destinations, limits and review paths before execution.

Explore policy design
03 / ACTIVITY

Transaction operations

Prepare, authorize and monitor supported blockchain transactions with clear status and accountability.

04 / CONNECT

Integration architecture

Design connections to internal systems around modular interfaces and event-driven workflows.

Explore integration patterns
Choose the control pattern

Different workflows need different operating boundaries.

Key ownership, signing environments, approvals and provider responsibilities should be selected for each implementation.

01 / 04

Coordinated day-to-day activity

A connected model can organize supported addresses, balances and transaction state while preserving clearly assigned responsibilities.

  • Consistent activity view
  • Defined user roles
  • Implementation-specific connectivity
bitgo design principles

Built around control, clarity and accountability.

bitgo starts with the operating rules a team needs to understand before digital assets move.

POLICY-FIRST

Explicit controls

Rules and approval paths are defined before execution.

LAYERED

Separated authority

Request, review and signing responsibilities can be assigned independently.

OBSERVABLE

Operational visibility

Events and status changes are designed to support monitoring and audit workflows.

BITGO / DESIGN PRINCIPLES

These are design principles, not certifications or performance guarantees. Available functionality is confirmed in current documentation and written agreements.

Control architecture

Technical controls need clear human responsibility.

bitgo's approach combines policy design, separated duties and implementation-specific signing and recovery decisions.

  • Role-based access and configurable approval paths
  • Separation between request, review and execution
  • Deployment-specific signing and recovery controls
  • Operational monitoring and audit-oriented records

A controlled transaction path

From request to confirmation, every stage has a role.

  1. 01

    Build

    Construct the asset-specific request with destination, amount, fee and required metadata.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Check policy, permissions, limits and external risk signals before signing.

  3. 03

    Approve & sign

    Collect the required human approvals, signatures or signature shares.

  4. 04

    Execute

    Broadcast the completed transaction or run the eligible settlement workflow.

  5. 05

    Monitor

    Track confirmation, failure, replacement and event notifications.
