The customers need to store their crypto assets in a multi-signature wallet of BitGo, which will provide an end to end double authentication security solution to the customer. The customer will possess at least two keys with ID numbers for transactions.
After the demise of the holder, the executor or the family beneficiary can retract the crypto assets from Coincover by providing them the Unique ID no. on the Notification card.
BitGo CEO, Mike Belshe commented that they are providing a transparent and comprehensive coverage plan for crypto insurance and retrieval. He also said,
Transparency and accuracy are essential for building trust in the market, so it’s critical for clients to understand under what circumstances their investments are insured and to what extent any loss would be covered.
Coincover co-founder and CEO, David Janczewski, said that as part of the emerging problem about how to manage Bitcoin assets after death, our Cryptocurrency Wills would offer the solution.
