All the security and other features of the BitVault® gives the developer a multitude of tools to develop unique and potentially profitable applications.

Developers will be supplied with a BitVault® development toolkit to enable them to create these applications. Due to the unique security nature of the BitVault® and the closed ecosystem, a "Developer BitVault®" has been developed as a testing device for all applications.

There will be a series of Developer Conferences announced shortly, the company said.
