 # BitGo JavaScript SDK
 
-The BitGo Platform and SDK makes it easy to build multi-signature crypto-currency applications today with support for Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other coins.
-The SDK is fully integrated with the BitGo co-signing service for managing all of your BitGo wallets.
+The BitGo Platform enables you to build multisignature and MPC cryptocurrency applications for over a thousand digital assets. You can view all BitGo supported assets on the [Developer Portal](https://assets.bitgo.com/coins). The SDK is fully integrated with the BitGo co-signing service for managing all of your BitGo wallets.
 
-Included in the SDK are examples for how to use the API to manage your multi-signature wallets.

 # Enabling additional debugging output
 
 `bitgo` uses the `debug` package to emit extra information, which can be useful when debugging issues with BitGoJS or BitGo Express.
 
-When using the `bitgo` npm package, the easiest way to enable debug output is by setting the `DEBUG` environment variable to one or more of the debug namespaces in the table below. Multiple debug namespaces can be enabled by giving a comma-separated list or by using `*` as a wildcard. See the [debug package documentation](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug#readme) for more details.

 # Using with TypeScript
 
-`bitgo` is not yet compatible with the `noImplicitAny` compiler option. If you want to use this option in your project (and we recommend that you do), you must set the `skipLibCheck` option to supress errors about missing type definitions for dependencies of `bitgo`.

-BitGo Express runs as a service in your own datacenter, and handles the client-side operations involving your own keys, such as partially signing transactions before submitting to BitGo.
-This ensures your keys never leave your network, and are not seen by BitGo. BitGo Express can also proxy the standard BitGo REST APIs, providing a unified interface to BitGo through a single REST API.
