BitGo Labs is a new research and innovation unit built to design, launch, and prove out real applications on top of BitGo's financial technology. The early focus area is the intersection of AI and crypto, starting with the launch of Gokubu.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) (“BitGo” or the “Company”), the digital asset infrastructure company, today announced the launch of BitGo Labs, a research and innovation unit with a single charge to explore and build the next breakout application for digital assets.
Since 2013, BitGo has been the backbone of the industry, empowering clients to scale with innovative financial infrastructure technology. BitGo Labs extends this mission one step further: if BitGo is the operating system crypto runs on, Labs is where we build the apps. We're focused on use cases that only crypto can deliver, like rates and returns no traditional system can touch, and we're using AI to build them in months, not years.
BitGo Labs’ earliest focus is at the intersection of AI and crypto. AI is advancing from chatbots to autonomous agents that research, negotiate, hire, and buy on the open internet. We believe the AI economy needs crypto financial infrastructure to process micropayments, instantly settle, and safely secure trillions of dollars in assets. Traditional financial technology cannot support this next leg of innovation, but BitGo can.
At every step toward artificial general intelligence, new ways will open for people to contribute and earn. BitGo Labs believes some of crypto's most important use cases will be found here - and that they are still waiting to be built.
BitGo Labs launches with several first projects that put these approaches into practice. Among them is Gokubu, a consumer application that uses an AI-powered card designed to optimize your spending, accepted wherever Visa is accepted, assigns you a personalized AI financial assistant, unlock better rewards automatically, and helps you get more value from every transaction. Gokubu is already live and users can sign up today at gokubu.com.
Beyond its first projects, BitGo Labs will publish research, prototype protocols and reference implementations, partner with builders, academics, and institutions across the crypto and AI communities. Every project will be held to the same test: does this application do something no existing system can, and does it make people's lives measurably better?
