How BitGo scaled secure DeFi access with Reown WalletKit: A trusted path to 65,000+ onchain apps via the WalletConnect Network

The challenge: Enable secure, scalable DeFi access, without friction.

BitGo, a global leader in digital asset custody, faced a growing need: support secure access to thousands of DeFi apps, participating in their projects governance, across multiple chains, in a way that matched the UX expectations of institutional users. As client demand surged beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum to include multichain DeFi protocols, the team knew traditional wallet integration paths weren’t going to scale.

Manual integrations were too brittle. Legacy session flows couldn’t keep up with evolving user behaviors. And in a fast-moving market, any delay meant missed opportunity.

The solution: WalletKit as a seamless gateway to onchain apps

To solve this, BitGo integrated WalletKit, Reown’s SDK for custodians and wallets and the Official Gateway to the WalletConnect Network. With a single integration, BitGo unlocked:

  • Instant access to 65,000+ onchain apps via the WalletConnect Network
  • Full support for EVM, Solana, SUI, and other major chains
  • Stable sessions across apps and devices, even when networks fluctuate

WalletKit fits directly into BitGo’s DeFi-focused architecture. It gave their users a familiar, app-native experience, and gave their team confidence in security, performance, and flexibility.

The result: Smoother sessions, scalable infrastructure, happier users

BitGo reported a noticeable improvement in UX and operational efficiency. WalletKit, powered by the WalletConnect Network, helped them deliver on-chain access that’s secure, intuitive, and ready to scale with the market.

  • No more connection dropouts during DeFi workflows
  • App-level authentication and session control built-in
  • Simplified onboarding across networks and platforms

Why it matters: WalletKit is future-ready infra for Custodians.

In a multichain, user-first internet, wallets need more than just signature support. They need connectivity, resilience, and compatibility across the full app layer. That’s what WalletKit delivers.
