The cryptocurrency startup has raised over $3.5 million over the past year. The goal of Casa is to offer a “key manager app in every pocket and a node in every home.”. The Keymaster mobile app is available for iOS and Android.

Last year the company released its first premium product dubbed “Keymaster,” a multi-signature service for bitcoin investors. Soon after, Casa announced its plug-and-play Bitcoin Lightning node, the “Casa Node,” to much fanfare, selling out its initial batch in two hours. Casa has shipped over a thousand Casa Nodes since it was released.
