BitGo’s integration with Narval is designed to help institutions participate in onchain financial markets without moving assets outside of their established BitGo qualified custody environment. Aave, Spark, and Tesseract are available today, with additional protocols in the future.

“Institutions want access to DeFi, but they need a path that meets their security, governance, and operational requirements,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. “Our integration with Narval helps clients connect to approved DeFi protocols directly from BitGo custody, combining transaction verification and whitelisting controls with BitGo’s regulated custody infrastructure.”

“Our mission is to make onchain participation secure and seamless for institutions,” said Greg Jessner, CEO and Co-Founder of Narval. “By integrating with BitGo’s qualified custody, we’re aiming to ensure that clients can access DeFi opportunities without compromising on compliance or security.”

Narval’s DeFi Gateway connects DeFi applications to BitGo’s custody and wallet infrastructure through transaction integrity verification, delegated wallet connectivity, and an embedded dApp SDK. Before a transaction reaches the signing or custody approval workflow, Narval’s verification engine decodes transaction details into human-readable form and checks proposed interactions against approved protocols and contract addresses. These controls are designed to reduce blind-signing risk, support policy-based execution, and provide greater visibility into proposed protocol interactions.
