Band Protocol has strategically partnered with Frontier Wallet, the first mobile DeFi wallet to integrate the top cryptoasset wallets such as Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Trust Wallet, imToken, Portis and Fortmatic to access and store DeFi tokens and stake directly from within a mobile-native interface.

Frontier Wallet has integrated full support of the BAND token into their mobile application which will safely allow users to directly store and stake BAND tokens for BandChain’s validators.

Frontier Wallet allows users to track and manage their positions in top DeFi protocols such as MakerDAO, InstaDApp, and DeFiZap and now stake BAND from a single mobile interface in a non-custodial way. This is achieved by using TxLink, a middleware between DApps and mobile wallets for transaction signing, to remove platform dependencies and simplify multiple wallet address management and create a seamless user experience.

This cross-wallet functionality now expands to support the secure storage and staking of BAND where any user can connect their wallets to stake directly for a BandChain validator without giving away private keys.

Features

Here is what the Band Protocol community will be able to do with Frontier Wallet, completely free of charge:

  • Manage multiple crypto wallets that can store BAND including Frontier’s built-in wallet
  • Store BAND tokens alongside other top crypto assets on the market
  • Stake and delegate BAND tokens to BandChain’s validators
  • Track staking positions, current rewards and implied annual yield rates.

“DeFi has over one billion USD locked as of today. The ecosystem is thriving, and we believe that the next ten billion is not far away. Band Protocol will play a strong role in creating this reality.

Highly-secured cross-chain oracles like BandChain are exactly what’s needed to expand DeFi even further, and we couldn’t be more thrilled at Frontier Wallet to partner with Band Protocol and support its holders, stakers, and community.”
Ravindra Kumar, CEO & Founder of Frontier Wallet

“Band Protocol is excited to have Frontier Wallet’s support for the upcoming BandChain Mainnet Launch. This is essential for our community to securely access multiple wallet addresses to store and stake BAND while also having the full management and visibility to monitor validators, delegations and rewards in a non-custodial manner.

Soravis Srinawakoon, CEO & Co-Founder of Band Protocol

Frontier Wallet will be supporting BandChain immediately from the mainnet launch on June 10 with a storage and staking guide to be released on the Frontier Blog shortly thereafter. Stay tuned as we continue to onboard more BandChain ecosystem partners over the coming month and join us in the mission to reliably connect smart contracts to the world!

About Band Protocol
Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. Blockchains are great at immutable storage and deterministic, verifiable computations — however, they cannot securely access data available outside the blockchain networks. Band Protocol enables smart contract applications such as DeFi, prediction markets, and games to be built on-chain without relying on the single point of failure of a centralized oracle. Band Protocol is backed by a strong network of stakeholders including Sequoia Capital, one of the top venture capital firms in the world, and the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.
