Chainvara vs BitGo

A BitGo alternative with modern MPC and payments built in

BitGo is known for multisig custody and a qualified-custodian offering. Chainvara is MPC-first — your key share lives on your machine, every transaction is decoded by a co-signer you can verify — and adds the payments and operations layer (payouts, @handle settlement, sweeps, gas) on top of custody.

Chainvara vs BitGo

  • You keep a key, always
  • A co-signer you can verify
  • Payments, not just custody
  • Policy before every signature

Why teams choose Chainvara over BitGo

  1. 01

    You keep a key, always

    Production wallets are 2-of-2: MPC on Solana and Bitcoin, split-key elsewhere. The full private key never exists in one place, and nothing moves without your co-signer — not even us.

  2. 02

    A co-signer you can verify

    One dependency-free file, published on npm and GitHub with its SHA-256 and a provenance attestation tying each version to its source commit. It decodes every transaction and refuses anything you did not approve.

  3. 03

    Payments, not just custody

    Batch stablecoin payouts, @handle partner payments with net settlement, sweeps, gas stations, Travel Rule and screening — the operations layer, built in.

  4. 04

    Policy before every signature

    Per-transfer and daily USD limits, allowed destinations only, velocity rules, approval tiers and a kill switch — enforced on your side, not just ours.

  5. 05

    58 mainnets, one API

    Ethereum and every major EVM chain, Solana, Bitcoin, Tron, XRP Ledger, Stellar, Aptos, Sui, TON, Litecoin and more, with real per-chain transaction decoding.

  6. 06

    Start in minutes, not sales calls

    Sign up, build on test networks for free, go live when you are ready. The whole API, SDKs and the co-signer are public.

Being fair

Where BitGo fits

BitGo is a fit for teams that specifically want a US qualified custodian holding assets, or regulated custody as a managed service. Features and pricing of other providers change often — check their current documentation. This page describes what Chainvara does today.
