On December 4, Bitget Wallet rolled out its Social Login feature, letting users create and access their self-hosted wallet via Google, Apple ID, or email—no need to jot down or store a recovery phrase. The feature is powered by TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology, where private keys are generated, encrypted, and used inside a hardware-isolated space. This means keys can’t be viewed, copied, or exported. Wallet activation takes just seconds, and users can regain access by logging back in when switching devices—all signature operations happen within the TEE. Per Bitget Wallet, the solution is built on AWS Nitro Enclaves. Unlike multi-party computation (MPC)-based solutions, TEE keeps all critical operations on the user’s local device, streamlining the recovery process and cutting down on system complexity. While the industry has seen past attempts at social login, solutions combining TEE hardware isolation with mobile-scale rollouts remain relatively rare.
