BitKeep Upgrades to Bitget Wallet: A Letter From the Team

BitKeep began its journey in 2018 with a bold vision: to make blockchain and digital assets accessible for everyone. We recognized the need to address the high barriers of entry for users in the Web3 space, and we sought to address this by introducing a wallet platform that offers a wide array of integrated services to serve as a seamless one-stop portal for our users.

With an unwavering commitment to understanding and responding to market demands, we stood tall alongside the Bitcoin community's vision of embracing decentralization, and capitalized on opportunities made present during the DeFi summer of 2021. We adopted an open and co-creative mindset as we actively engaged with popular Web3 ecosystems, forming strategic alliances and aggregating decentralized applications (DApps) as we expanded our cross-chain capabilities. Our commitment to consistent innovation and pursuit of better ways to serve our users allowed us to exponentially grow our userbase and revenue. The rise of NFTs and the metaverse further propelled our platform's traffic upon the launch of our NFT trading marketplace. By remaining dedicated to proactively responding to each new wave of technological evolution and maturation, we have grown to become the platform of choice for millions of users worldwide.

Today, with over 10 million users across 168 countries and regions, BitKeep stands as a premier gateway for users to explore all that the Web3 world has to offer.

But our journey has just begun.

A New Chapter, A Better Trading Wallet

In March 2023, Bitget, one of the world's top 5 futures trading platforms, acquired a controlling stake in BitKeep through a successful $30 million capital raise. This momentous event marked the start of an extensive business transformation, leading to our revolutionary brand upgrade to Bitget Wallet on August 10th, 2023.

Accompanying our brand upgrade is our commitment to remaining steadfast to our new brand mission: to serve as the most user-friendly Web3 trading wallet, providing faster trades and better assets for our users. Embodying our renewed vision of "Faster Trading, Better Assets", we introduced the novel concept of WEX - Wallet Exchange. At its core lies Bitget Swap, our primary trading feature, which provides seamless access to our product ecosystem, including Asset Management, DApp interaction, NFT trading, Staking, and Launchpad right within our application. Within this vibrant environment, users may directly execute key Web3 transactions and activities without needing to switch to other platforms, facilitating an unparalleled user experience.

As a robust DEX aggregator, our Swap function offers multiple trading modes and automatically provides our users with the best prices through liquidity aggregation across over 100 DEXs. We are committed to delivering a seamless cross-chain experience with gas-free transactions through technological innovation, a testament to our goal of serving as not only a secure means for users to manage their assets, but also to grow their portfolio.

This transformative upgrade also signifies a deep integration between Bitget Wallet and Bitget, bridging the gap between CeFi and DeFi. We firmly believe that these two worlds can coexist harmoniously, and by embracing Bitget's trading DNA and leveraging its strengths and expertise, we pave the way for a diverse and symbiotic ecosystem, integrating key resources to introduce cutting-edge product offerings for our users. Furthermore, to reinforce our commitment to user security, we are proud to share a $300 million user protection fund with Bitget, providing an additional layer of safety and peace of mind for our valued users and their funds.

As we move forward, we remain true to our founding mission of building crucial infrastructure in the industry that truly meets the needs of our community. Together, we forge ahead with unwavering determination as we challenge and build the frontiers of Web3 trading, together as one cohesive trading wallet.

Faster Trading, Better Assets. Bitget Wallet, Your Web3 Trading Wallet of the Future.
