The MultiBit Bitcoin wallet file is a data format developed by the MultiBit project and later maintained by KeepKey for the MultiBit cryptocurrency client. This format is utilized to store cryptographic private keys, transaction records, and metadata necessary for performing transactions on the Bitcoin network. Since the software is now discontinued, this is considered an obsolete legacy format; users should migrate their sensitive data to modern BIP32-compatible wallets to maintain security and software support.
