Hardware Signer: The Latest Crypto Wallets Innovation for Everyday Users
Utilizing account abstraction and mobile devices hardware security modules to offer state-of-the-art security and UX
During #starknetcc Lisbon, we released our new Hardware Signer capability for iOS and Android devices.
In this blog post, we will explain what it is, how it works, and why we believe it is a game changer for the crypto industry in terms of security and UX.
Background
In the past few months, we at Braavos have focused on implementing the basics users need from a self-custody wallet.
We released the wallet as a browser extension for all popular browsers and an application for iOS and Android devices. Users can access their funds wherever and whenever they want.
We introduced numerous features to the wallet, such as the NFTs gallery for audio, video, and 3D image.
Transaction Explainer that helps users understand in clear English what dApps are asking them to sign on.
Built-in Exchange so users can swap tokens from within the wallet at the best rates on StarkNet.
Mobile apps that are aligned with our vision for better security through better UX, superior to browser extensions.
All of the above were completely new capabilities for StarkNet when Braavos introduced them, but other wallets in the broader crypto ecosystem have already implemented such capabilities.
Nevertheless, it was necessary for us to cover “the basics” and give users the functionality they are used to from L1 and other chains.
Once we have covered the basics, we have been directing all our efforts toward new innovations enabled by Account Abstraction coupled with L2 low gas fees. The goal is to improve the security and user experience of self-custodial wallets, ensuring people will not default to centralized solutions.
